Phase 2: Generate

Declarative phase skill. Invoked by the prd-taskmaster orchestrator when current_phase is GENERATE. Never called directly by a user.

The one rule: generate the spec, validate it catches placeholders, parse it into tasks, expand every task into subtasks. Quality over speed.

Entry gate

1. Call mcp__plugin_prd_go__check_gate(phase="GENERATE", evidence={}) for diagnostics.

   check_gate is an EXIT gate: it checks task_count > 0, subtask_coverage >= 1.0, and validation_grade in (EXCELLENT, GOOD) — all of which are GENERATE's OWN OUTPUTS, i.e. evidence to advance, not preconditions to enter. On first entry none exist yet, so a gate_passed: false here is EXPECTED — the state machine's legal transitions already guarantee only legal entry.
