Ran the bundled convert_tasks.py for real against a 2-task TASKS.md fixture - it produced schema-correct spec.md/requirements.json/context.json/implementation_plan.json for both structured tasks with correct status/priority mapping, but silently swallowed a trailing standalone '- [ ] ...' checkbox task into the last structured task's acceptance criteria instead of creating it as its own spec, contradicting SKILL.md's claim that single-line tasks are separately supported.
Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works
- Installs cleanly 5/5
- Triggers reliably 5/5
- Output vs. baseline 6/10
- Docs & honesty 3/5
What AutoClaude Task Converter does
Parses a TASKS.md-style markdown backlog (structured TASK-XXX blocks or single-line checkboxes) and writes AutoClaude's per-task spec directory - spec.md, requirements.json, context.json, implementation_plan.json - with status/priority/complexity mapping applied automatically. Triggers on requests to convert or migrate a task backlog to AutoClaude specs, or to initialize a new project with that structure.
