How does the skill handle task dependencies?

It automatically identifies prerequisite tasks (blockedBy) and subsequent tasks (blocks), while performing checks to prevent circular dependencies.

What project phases are generated in the task list?

Tasks are organized into six standard phases: Preparation, Foundation, Core, Extension, Validation, and Operations.

What is the Kiro format used by this skill?

Kiro is a structured documentation format for software specifications that uses specific identifiers for requirements and tasks to maintain full project traceability.

Does it require existing documentation to work?

Yes, sdd-tasks requires a requirements.md and design.md file to be present in the target directory to extract functional requirements and component structures.

Can I visualize the output in my code editor?

Yes, the skill generates a Mermaid Gantt chart within the tasks.md file, which can be rendered by most modern Markdown viewers and IDEs.

Productivity & Workflow

Generates structured execution plans and Mermaid Gantt charts from software requirements and design documents using the Kiro format.

About

The sdd-tasks skill automates the transition from high-level design to actionable implementation by decomposing software requirements into a phased 6-stage execution plan. It identifies task dependencies, prevents circular references, and maps every task back to its original requirement for full traceability. By generating Mermaid Gantt charts alongside the task list, it provides developers with a clear visual roadmap and identifies the critical path for project completion, ensuring that all components from the design phase are systematically addressed.
