// how to use

Three commands.
That's the whole workflow.

Pick a ticket, plan it, ship it. Gates enforce quality at every step so you don't have to.

01 /work-on <ticket>
Plan the work
Pass a ticket ID or describe what you want to build. gato fetches context, detects work type, and writes a plan in plan mode — never touches code.
→Routing: PDW-1234 — Notification system
→Type: feature · plan created at ~/.claude/plans/…
02 /decompose-plan
Break it into tasks
Creates STATE.yaml and decomposes the plan into dependency-aware tasks. Parallel groups are detected automatically — independent tasks run simultaneously.
→STATE.yaml created · 6 tasks · 2 parallel groups
→Group 1: T1.1, T1.2 (no deps) · Group 2: T2.1
03 /implement
Execute through checkpoints
gato runs your code through a pipeline of quality gates. Nothing ships until every gate passes. Each checkpoint stops and waits for your approval before moving on.
