SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It turns complex, architecture-sensitive AI coding work into a controlled engineering loop, reducing the risk of drifting scope, missing requirements, and shipping changes without evidence-backed review gates.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Gate-based development orchestration: Drives a work unit from optional discussion and planning through implementation slices, code review, fixes, re-reviews, deep review, and local accepted commits.
  • Draft PR gate automation (user-authorized): After you authorize the draft PR gate, it can automatically push, open a draft PR, run PR review, apply fixes, re-review, and iterate until the draft-PR-pass condition.
  • Strict scope and finding governance: Enforces allowed scope boundaries, structured finding status states, residual risk tracking, stop conditions, and evidence/validation requirements to prevent accidental overreach.

Quick Start

Use the gateflow skill to orchestrate a migration or refactor by starting from your current workspace and following its prompts for any blocking questions.

Frequently Asked Questions about gateflow

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I safely orchestrate complex AI-assisted code migrations and refactors?▼

Complex AI-assisted migrations and refactors are orchestrated through gated PR workflows that enforce strict controller/worker separation, scoped slice execution, and evidence-based review gates to prevent scope drift and ensure code integrity.

Can I automate draft PR creation and review for multi-step schema or state-machine changes?▼

Yes, draft PR automation can push, open, run PR review, apply fixes, and iterate until draft-PR-pass conditions are met, specifically for architecture-sensitive changes like schema, public contract, or state-machine modifications.

How does gated workflow enforce scope boundaries during sliced implementation?▼

Gated workflows enforce scope boundaries through structured finding status states, residual risk tracking, stop conditions, and validation/evidence requirements, ensuring iterative review-fix-re-review loops prevent accidental overreach.

When do I need evidence-based review gates for architecture-sensitive code changes?▼

Evidence-based review gates are needed for architecture-sensitive multi-step work units requiring user authorization before PR creation, ensuring strict scope governance and iterative deep code review until ready-to-open-draft-PR status.

What is the best way to track residual risk during multi-step code changes?▼

Residual risk tracking is integrated into the gated development orchestration loop, enforcing structured finding status states and evidence/validation artifacts during implementation slices and iterative deep code reviews.

Does gateflow work with local accepted commits before pushing to a draft PR?▼

Yes, gated workflows drive work units through implementation slices and deep code review to local accepted commits, requiring explicit user authorization before pushing and opening a draft PR.
