Speckit Tasks Command Executor
This skill executes the official GitHub Speckit /speckit.tasks command.
Execution Protocol
When this skill is invoked, you MUST:
1. Load the Original Command File
Read and parse .opencode/commands/speckit.tasks.md from the current project directory.
2. Process OpenCode Command Syntax
The command file uses special syntax that MUST be processed before execution:
| Syntax | Action |
|---|
$ARGUMENTS | Replace with user-provided arguments |
$1, $2, etc. | Replace with positional arguments |
@filepath | Read that file and insert contents |
!command`` | Execute shell command, insert stdout |
3. Execute the Processed Instructions
After syntax processing, follow all instructions in the command file exactly as written, including:
- Running
.specify/scripts/powershell/check-prerequisites.ps1 -Json
- Loading spec.md, plan.md, data-model.md, contracts/
- Using
.specify/templates/tasks-template.md for structure
- Generating tasks organized by user story with proper format (checkbox, TaskID, markers)
4. Maintain Speckit Workflow Integrity
- Honor the
handoffs defined in the command's YAML frontmatter
- Suggest
/speckit.analyze or /speckit.implement as next steps
- Preserve all Speckit conventions

Fallback: Built-in Task Generator
If .opencode/commands/speckit.tasks.md does NOT exist, use this built-in generator:
Step 1: Load Artifacts
Read these files (skip if not found):
.github/speckit/specs/*.md (spec files).opencode/plans/*-plan.md (plan files).opencode/designs/*-design.md (design files)
Step 2: Generate tasks.md with Skill Tags
Create .opencode/tasks.md with this structure:
# Tasks: [Feature Name]
Generated: [timestamp]
Plan: [plan file path]
Spec: [spec file path]
## User Story 1: [Story from spec]
- [ ] T001 [US1] [Task description] → /[skill-tag]
- [ ] T002 [US1] [Task description] → /[skill-tag]
## User Story 2: [Story from spec]
- [ ] T003 [US2] [Task description] → /[skill-tag]
Step 3: MANDATORY Skill Tag Assignment
EVERY task MUST have a skill tag. Use this mapping:
| Task Keywords | Skill Tag |
|---|
| UI, component, styling, layout, CSS, frontend, form, button, page | → /frontend-design |
| test, spec, E2E, playwright, browser, click, verify | → /playwright |
| API, endpoint, route, controller, backend, service | → /test-driven-development |
| database, schema, migration, model, SQL | → /test-driven-development |
| docs, README, documentation, guide | → /doc-coauthoring |
| debug, fix, error, bug | → /systematic-debugging |
| (default - no match) | → /test-driven-development |
Step 4: Add Dependencies (Optional)
For complex tasks, add dependency markers:
- [ ] T001 [US1] Create database schema (id: db-schema)
- [ ] T002 [US1] Create API endpoints (id: api) (depends_on: db-schema)
- [ ] T003 [US1] Build login UI (id: ui) (depends_on: api)
Example Output
# Tasks: User Authentication
Generated: 2026-01-21T10:30:00Z
Plan: .opencode/plans/user-auth-plan.md
Spec: .github/speckit/specs/user-auth.md
## User Story 1: User Registration
- [ ] T001 [US1] Create User model and migration (id: user-model) → /test-driven-development
- [ ] T002 [US1] Create registration API endpoint (id: reg-api) (depends_on: user-model) → /test-driven-development
- [ ] T003 [US1] Build registration form UI (id: reg-ui) (depends_on: reg-api) → /frontend-design
- [ ] T004 [US1] Write E2E test for registration flow (depends_on: reg-ui) → /playwright
## User Story 2: User Login
- [ ] T005 [US2] Create login API endpoint (id: login-api) (depends_on: user-model) → /test-driven-development
- [ ] T006 [US2] Build login form UI (id: login-ui) (depends_on: login-api) → /frontend-design
- [ ] T007 [US2] Write E2E test for login flow (depends_on: login-ui) → /playwright
CRITICAL: Skill Tags are NON-NEGOTIABLE
If you generate tasks without skill tags, the workflow BREAKS.
- ❌
- [ ] T001 Create login page (NO SKILL TAG = INVALID)
- ✅
- [ ] T001 Create login page → /frontend-design (VALID)
