SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Running the planning workflow stage-by-stage requires three separate skills with hard stops for human review between each one, which is slow when you want a complete, reviewed plan from a single request. This Skill runs Requirements, Verification, Solution, and Plan stages autonomously in one pass, pausing only when genuinely load-bearing questions need answers. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Unattended multi-stage planning: Executes the same stage instructions as /new-task, /new-solution, and /new-plan, writing each tab to plan.html before starting the next so interrupted runs leave usable partial work. - Gated decision recording: Records unresolvable decisions as <pd-question> elements with recommendedAnswer attributes, letting the human rubber-stamp or override each in one click instead of answering cold. - Integrated Codex review: Runs /request-codex-review and /resolve-comments on the answered doc, resolving or rejecting every review thread autonomously before the final report. - Use Case: You describe a feature request and want a complete, lint-clean, Codex-reviewed plan.html ready for /commit-task and /execute-task without babysitting three separate planning sessions. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to run new-task-quick on your feature request, for example: plan a quick task to add team settings to the dashboard.

Frequently Asked Questions about new-task-quick

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I plan a task end-to-end without stopping between stages?▼

Invoke new-task-quick with your task description. It runs the Requirements, Verification, Solution, and Plan stages in one unattended pass, writing each tab to plan.html as it goes, and stops at most once to collect answers to open questions.

What is the difference between new-task and new-task-quick?▼

new-task runs a single planning stage and hard-stops for user review before the next skill. new-task-quick runs all three planning stages autonomously in one pass, pausing only when open questions exist, then runs a Codex review on the answered document.

How does new-task-quick handle decisions it cannot resolve on its own?▼

It records each load-bearing unresolved decision as a pd-question element with a non-empty recommendedAnswer attribute containing its best lean. The document stays gated until the human rubber-stamps or overrides each answer, after which the plan is updated to match.

What happens if the Codex review fails during a quick planning run?▼

A Codex failure does not stop the run. The skill notes the failure and log path in the final report and continues, so you can rerun /request-codex-review yourself afterward.

When should I not use new-task-quick?▼

Avoid it when you want stage-by-stage review and control over each planning artifact; use the individual new-task, new-solution, and new-plan skills instead. It is designed for unattended runs, not interactive design discussions.
