# 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={})`. If the call returns `{gate_passed: false, violations: [...]}`, report the violations and stop. The gate protects against re-entering a completed phase or skipping ahead from DISCOVER. **Known issue (Mum dogfood feedback [10] — WORST):** check_gate(GENERATE) currently checks `task_count > 0`, `subtask_coverage >= 1.0`, and `validation_grade in (EXCELLENT, GOOD)` — all of which are GENERATE's OWN OUTPUTS, not entry preconditions. First-time entry deadlocks. State machine LEGAL_TRANSITIONS already prevents illegal entry — proceed past this gate on first entry. Semantic fix in flight (see morning brief). 2. Read the DISCOVER output (discovery summary + `CONSTRAINTS CAPTURED` block + scale classification). If any of these are missing, report and stop — the gate should have caught this, but belt-and-braces. ## Generate checklist Copy into your response before running the procedure: ``` GENERATE CHECKLIST: - [ ] Template loaded (comprehensive|minimal) - [ ] Spec written with discovery answers (no bare placeholders remaining) - [ ] CONSTRAINT CHECK: every DISCOV...
