description	SDD phase 5 — normalize the plan's bite-sized steps into an ordered specs/<id>/tasks.md checklist. Triggers: sdd tasks, generate tasks sdd, task breakdown sdd, tasks from plan, sdd task list.

SDD — Tasks

TL;DR — Gate on an approved plan (0) → extract the plan's checkbox tasks into specs/<id>/tasks.md with stable IDs (1) → mark done & route (2). Read <skills-root>/m-sdd/_shared.md first.

Pipeline: plan → tasks → analyze.

Phase 0 — Preflight & gate

• Read _shared.md.
• source <skills-root>/m-sdd/sdd-lib.sh; root="$(pwd)"; id="$(sdd_active_feature "$root")"
• sdd_require "$root" "$id" plan "approved" — the plan must be human-approved (not merely drafted) before it is broken into tasks.

Phase 1 — Derive tasks.md

• sdd_set_phase "$root" "$id" tasks in_progress
• Read specs/$id/plan.md. m-writing-plans already emits bite-sized - [ ] steps; collect them into an ordered checklist in specs/$id/tasks.md (start from .sdd/templates/tasks-template.md). If the plan has no - [ ] steps, derive the tasks from its file-structure and Testing Strategy sections instead — and tell the user you did so.
• Assign stable IDs T001, T002, … in dependency order. Keep each task independently testable. Do not invent work not in the plan.
• Traceability + tests: tag each task with the user-story / success-criterion IDs it serves ([US#], [SC-###]). Carry the plan's Testing Strategy into concrete test tasks labelled the same way, so every story and SC-### has a verifying task. UI test tasks name the design/<screen> they accept against. Whether missing coverage is blocking is the constitution's call (default: expected, not blocking); do not invent tests the plan's strategy didn't call for.
• Single source of truth: once tasks.md exists, it is the canonical execution checklist — m-sdd-implement ticks boxes here, not in plan.md. To avoid two drifting copies, replace plan.md's ## Tasks body with a one-line pointer: See ./tasks.md (canonical).

Phase 2 — Record & route

• Self-check before marking done: verify every US# and SC-### from spec.md appears on ≥1 task; fix or flag any gap first.
• sdd_set_phase "$root" "$id" tasks done; route to m-sdd-analyze (then m-sdd-implement).
