SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Gate 8 requires granular, zero-context subtasks with complete code, exact commands, and tests, enabling any engineer to act without domain knowledge.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Provides a fixed template for subtasks including Title, Agent Note, Goal, Prerequisites, Files, and Step structure.
  • Supports TDD cycles (RED-GREEN-REFACTOR) with explicit verification and rollback guidance.
  • Facilitates autonomous task creation for large features by breaking work into 2-5 minute steps.

Quick Start

Create a complete subtask document for a feature following the template and fill in all required fields.

FAQPage Schema
How do I break down large engineering features into zero-context subtasks?▼

To break down large engineering features into zero-context subtasks, use a fixed template that generates granular, 2-5 minute steps with exact code, commands, and tests, allowing any engineer to execute without prior domain knowledge.

What is the best way to structure subtasks for strict TDD cycles?▼

The best way to structure subtasks for strict TDD cycles is to apply a fixed template supporting RED-GREEN-REFACTOR phases, providing explicit verification and rollback guidance alongside exact code commits for each step.

How do I create engineering subtasks that require no domain knowledge to execute?▼

You can create zero-context subtasks by filling a fixed template with the Title, Agent Note, Goal, Prerequisites, Files, and Step structure, ensuring every incremental task includes exact code and commands for autonomous execution.

Does this subtask generation process work for large features requiring defined incremental steps?▼

Yes, this process works for large features requiring defined incremental steps by breaking the work down into 2-5 minute gated, repeatable tasks with exact code, commands, and commits.

When do I need to use a fixed template for engineering task breakdown?▼

You need a fixed template for engineering task breakdown when strict TDD, clear verification, and incremental steps are required, ensuring granular subtasks with complete code enable autonomous work without domain knowledge.
