Generating a Task List from Requirements

HARD-GATE

Task 0.0 records or creates an isolated feature branch according to project policy.
DO NOT combine TDD sub-tasks into a single task.
Generate tasks from an approved PRD or concrete user-authorized brief. Mark unresolved scope decisions; small bug fixes do not require a PRD.

Quick Reference

• Task 0.0: create feature branch.
• Output: /tasks/tasks-[feature-name].md.
• Auto-detect test command, source dir, test dir, doc tool.
• Validate test command before full generation.

Workflow

1. Project Detection

Detect conventions using config files (see TEST_COMMANDS.md). Identify source and test directories.

2. Validation

Run the detected test command when available; record baseline failures and distinguish environment failures from assertion failures. Continue planning with explicit constraints; ask only for a material decision.

3. Requirements Analysis

Break down the feature/PRD:

• Identify user-visible behaviors.
• Choose a smallest slice (first-slice heuristics) for TDD.
• Group behaviors into parent task groups.

4. Generate Task List

Create /tasks/tasks-[feature-name].md using the template in TASK_TEMPLATES.md. Each parent group follows TDD quadruplet (write failing test, confirm fail, implement, confirm pass).

5. Final Validation

Review tasks for coverage, correctness, and file paths.
