Spec Tasker

Spec Tasker

Use this skill when task decomposition is the current phase for one feature.

Shared Contracts

Load this shared shortcut first:

• ../references/shared-specialist-contract.md

Open the deeper canonical shared references only when the shortcut is insufficient for the current situation.

Purpose

Use this skill when at least one is true:

• spec.md and plan.md are ready and tasks.md does not exist
• tasks.md exists but tasks are vague, oversized, or not independently verifiable
• task ordering or dependencies are unclear
• implementation cannot proceed safely because the work is not decomposed into bounded batches

Read Order

• .codex/prompts/speckit.tasks.md first
• .codex/prompts/speckit.constitution.md if present
• specs/<feature>/spec.md
• specs/<feature>/plan.md
• specs/<feature>/tasks.md if present

Owned Outputs

• tasks.md
• ordered bounded task batches
• dependency and verification notes required for safe implementation

Phase-Specific Rejected Criteria

Return rejected if plan.md is missing or not execution-ready.

Phase-Specific Blocked Criteria

Return blocked if the plan exists but cannot be decomposed into verifiable bounded tasks without unresolved architectural decisions.
