SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Small, ad-hoc coding tasks often bypass structured workflows, leaving no commit discipline, no state tracking, and no record of what was done. This Skill runs quick tasks through the GSD system with atomic commits and STATE.md tracking while skipping heavyweight optional phases. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Quick Task Execution: Spawns gsd-planner (quick mode) and gsd-executor agents, storing tasks in .planning/quick/ separate from planned phases. - Composable Flags: --discuss adds a lightweight discussion phase capturing decisions in CONTEXT.md, --research spawns a focused research agent, and --full enables plan-checking and post-execution verification. - State Tracking: Updates the STATE.md "Quick Tasks Completed" table without touching ROADMAP.md. - Use Case: You need to fix a small bug or rename a module across the repo. Run the quick workflow to get the change planned, executed, committed atomically, and recorded in STATE.md without full milestone ceremony. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to run the gsd-quick skill with your task description, optionally adding flags like --discuss, --research, or --full for extra rigor.

FAQPage Schema
How do I run a quick task with atomic commits and state tracking?▼

Invoke the gsd-quick skill with your task description. It spawns a quick-mode planner and executor, stores the task in .planning/quick/, commits atomically, and records completion in the STATE.md Quick Tasks Completed table.

What do the --discuss, --research, and --full flags do?▼

--discuss adds a lightweight discussion phase capturing decisions in CONTEXT.md, --research spawns a focused research agent before planning, and --full enables plan-checking with up to two iterations plus post-execution verification. Flags are composable.

When should I use quick mode instead of the full GSD workflow?▼

Use quick mode when you know exactly what to do and want to skip research, discussion, plan-checker, and verifier phases. Choose the full workflow for larger planned phases that need roadmap tracking and milestone ceremony.

Does gsd-quick update ROADMAP.md?▼

No. Quick tasks update only the STATE.md Quick Tasks Completed table. ROADMAP.md is reserved for planned phases in the full GSD workflow, keeping quick ad-hoc work separate from milestone planning.

Where are quick task plans stored?▼

Quick tasks live in the .planning/quick/ directory, separate from planned phases. Context files are resolved inside the workflow during the init quick step and delegated to agents via files_to_read blocks.
