How to Generate Work Packages

Use this guide to turn a plan into work packages with /spec-kitty.tasks.

Prerequisites

  • kitty-specs/<feature>/plan.md exists
  • All [NEEDS CLARIFICATION] items are resolved

The Command

In your agent:

/spec-kitty.tasks

What Gets Created

  • kitty-specs/<feature>/tasks.md (overview checklist)
  • kitty-specs/<feature>/tasks/WP01-*.md, WP02-*.md, ... (prompt files)

Work packages live in a flat tasks/ directory. Lane status is stored in each prompt file frontmatter via lane: "planned".

Understanding Work Packages

Each WP file contains:

  • A single goal for the agent
  • Subtasks and dependencies
  • The exact completion command to move the WP to review

Finalizing Tasks

After reviewing the generated WPs, finalize the task set.

In your terminal:

spec-kitty agent feature finalize-tasks

Example Output

kitty-specs/012-feature/tasks.md
kitty-specs/012-feature/tasks/WP01-auth-backend.md
kitty-specs/012-feature/tasks/WP02-auth-ui.md
kitty-specs/012-feature/tasks/WP03-tests.md

Troubleshooting

  • Missing plan: Run /spec-kitty.plan first.
  • Tasks look incomplete: Resolve clarifications in plan.md and rerun /spec-kitty.tasks.
  • Wrong directory: Run from the main repository root.
