name: speckit-taskstoissues description: Convert existing tasks into actionable, dependency-ordered GitHub issues for the feature based on available design artifacts.

Spec Kit Tasks-to-Issues Skill

When to Use

• You want to convert tasks.md into GitHub issues in the same repository.

Inputs

• specs/<feature>/tasks.md
• The repository's Git remote URL
• Any user-provided issue labeling or grouping preferences

If tasks are missing, ask the user to run speckit-tasks first.

Workflow

1. Run .specify/scripts/bash/check-prerequisites.sh --json --require-tasks --include-tasks 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. From the executed script, extract the path to tasks.
3. Get the Git remote by running:

Copygit config --get remote.origin.url

[!CAUTION] ONLY PROCEED TO NEXT STEPS IF THE REMOTE IS A GITHUB URL

1. For each task in the list, create a new issue in the repository that matches the Git remote.
   • Prefer a GitHub issue-writing tool if available (e.g., MCP server or gh issue create).
   • Keep titles concise and include the task ID in the issue body for traceability.

[!CAUTION] UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES EVER CREATE ISSUES IN REPOSITORIES THAT DO NOT MATCH THE REMOTE URL
