speckit.tasks

speckit.tasks is a command for Codex from ArtisanCloud/PowerX. It costs 18 tokens per session (1,302 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A command that creates a dependency-ordered tasks.md file for a feature from available design documents. It reads plans, specifications, data models, API contracts, research, and quickstart notes when those files exist.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to break a feature into setup and implementation tasks, connect work to user stories, and include relevant data models, API endpoints, or research decisions.
Why use it?
It turns scattered design decisions and requirements into an actionable implementation checklist, while accounting for documents that may be missing.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

speckit.tasks scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured today.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

User Input

$ARGUMENTS

You MUST consider the user input before proceeding (if not empty).

Outline

  1. Setup: Run .specify/scripts/bash/check-prerequisites.sh --json from repo root and parse FEATURE_DIR and AVAILABLE_DOCS list. All paths must be absolute. For single quotes in args like "I'm Groot", use escape syntax: e.g 'I'''m Groot' (or double-quote if possible: "I'm Groot").

  2. Load design documents: Read from FEATURE_DIR:

    • Required: plan.md (tech stack, libraries, structure), spec.md (user stories with priorities)
    • Optional: data-model.md (entities), contracts/ (API endpoints), research.md (decisions), quickstart.md (test scenarios)
    • Note: Not all projects have all documents. Generate tasks based on what's available.
  3. Execute task generation workflow (follow the template structure):

    • Load plan.md and extract tech stack, libraries, project structure
    • Load spec.md and extract user stories with their priorities (P1, P2, P3, etc.)
    • If data-model.md exists: Extract entities → map to user stories
    • If contracts/ exists: Each file → map endpoints to user stories
    • If research.md exists: Extract decisions → generate setup tasks
    • Generate tasks ORGANIZED BY USER STORY:
      • Setup tasks (shared infrastructure needed by all stories)
      • Foundational tasks (prerequisites that must complete before ANY user story can start)
      • For each user story (in priority order P1, P2, P3...):
        • Group all tasks needed to complete JUST that story
        • Include models, services, endpoints, UI components specific to that story
        • Mark which tasks are [P] parallelizable
        • If tests requested: Include tests specific to that story
      • Polish/Integration tasks (cross-cutting concerns)
    • Tests are OPTIONAL: Only generate test tasks if explicitly requested in the feature spec or user asks for TDD approach
    • Apply task rules:
      • Different files = mark [P] for parallel
      • Same file = sequential (no [P])
      • If tests requested: Tests before implementation (TDD order)
    • Number tasks sequentially (T001, T002...)
    • Generate dependency graph showing user story completion order
    • Create parallel execution examples per user story
    • Validate task completeness (each user story has all needed tasks, independently testable)

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
