Gate 1

Published Updated

Also called Plan review gate

What is Gate 1?

The first review gate in Coordinator Mode: you review and approve the proposed task decomposition before any code is written.

After Decompose produces a plan, Gate 1 shows you the breakdown — subtasks, dependencies, scope, cost estimates. You can adjust before approving. Nothing executes until you click through Gate 1. This catches bad decompositions before they consume agent time and tokens.

How it relates to Orbit

Coordinator Mode reviews the decomposed plan at Gate 1 before the work starts. See Coordinator Mode for details.

When you would use it

You hit Gate 1 every time you start a Coordinator Mode build. It's the primary point of plan correction.

Common operations

  • Reviewing a decomposed plan
  • Adjusting subtask scope before launch
  • Aborting a poorly decomposed task and re-running Decompose
