Struct GenerateOptions 

pub struct GenerateOptions {
    pub project_root: Option<PathBuf>,
    pub file: PathBuf,
    pub tag: String,
    pub num_tasks: u32,
    pub no_expand: bool,
    pub no_check_deps: bool,
    pub append: bool,
    pub no_guidance: bool,
    pub id_format: String,
    pub model: Option<String>,
    pub dry_run: bool,
    pub verbose: bool,
}

Options for the task generation pipeline.

This struct configures the multi-phase task generation process:

1. Parse: Convert a PRD document into initial tasks
2. Expand: Break down complex tasks into subtasks
3. Check Dependencies: Validate and fix task dependencies

Example

use scud::commands::generate::{generate, GenerateOptions};
use std::path::PathBuf;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> anyhow::Result<()> {
    let options = GenerateOptions::new(
        PathBuf::from("docs/prd.md"),
        "my-feature".to_string(),
    );

    generate(options).await?;
    Ok(())
}

Fields

project_root: Option<PathBuf>

Project root directory (None for current directory)

file: PathBuf

Path to the PRD/spec document to parse

tag: String

Tag name for generated tasks

num_tasks: u32

Number of tasks to generate (default: 10)

no_expand: bool

Skip task expansion phase

no_check_deps: bool

Skip dependency validation phase

append: bool

Append tasks to existing tag instead of replacing

no_guidance: bool

Skip loading guidance from .scud/guidance/

id_format: String

Task ID format: “sequential” (default) or “uuid”

model: Option<String>

Model to use for AI operations (overrides config)

dry_run: bool

Show what would be done without making changes

verbose: bool

Verbose output showing each phase’s details

Implementations

impl GenerateOptions

pub fn new(file: PathBuf, tag: String) -> Self
