SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Full multi-phase orchestration pipelines are overkill for small, well-understood code changes. This Skill skips the analyst, planner, scoring, and review phases by reusing precomputed project knowledge, delivering a fast single-executor implementation lane for Claude Code. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Knowledge-gated preflight: Requires a fresh project wiki (orc-wiki) and a cached code pattern for the request's language; if either is missing it falls back to orc-mini without stopping the session. - Single-executor dispatch: Builds one task slice with wiki pointers, the cached pattern, house rules, and acceptance criteria, then dispatches it to a pinned Sonnet 4.6 high executor (or a configured external model slot). - Smoke gate and repair: Runs a build+test smoke gate sourced from the wiki manifest, allows one repair round, and escalates to orc-mini or the full orc lane on repeated failure. - Use Case: You ask to implement a small, single-file feature in a repository that already has a fresh wiki and cached patterns; the lane confirms a short intent spec, spawns one executor, verifies the build, and offers to commit. ## Quick Start Use orc-fast to implement a small feature or fix in this repository, for example by saying "use orc-fast to add input validation to the login handler".

Frequently Asked Questions about orc-fast

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I use orc-fast to implement a feature?▼

Invoke it with "use orc-fast to implement X" or "/orc-fast". The lane drafts a short intent spec with acceptance bullets, asks for one confirmation, then dispatches a single executor and runs a build+test smoke gate before shipping.

What prerequisites does orc-fast require before running?▼

It requires a fresh project wiki created by orc-wiki and a cached code pattern for the request's language, checked via "orc wiki status" and "orc pattern status". If either is missing, it falls back to orc-mini automatically.

What happens when the orc-fast prerequisites are missing?▼

The lane announces which gate failed in one line, writes a FALLBACK-FROM block into the run folder, and hands off to orc-mini with any intake already done. It never stops the chat or loses prior work.

When should I use orc-mini or full orc instead of orc-fast?▼

Use orc-mini or full orc when the task spans more than one real task, touches roughly five or more files, or involves core or security-sensitive code. The fit gate in orc-fast detects this and falls back with the intent spec attached.

Does orc-fast work without a wiki or pattern cache?▼

No, both are hard gates because the lane replaces analysis and planning with that precomputed knowledge. A stale wiki prompts a refresh-or-fallback choice, and a missing pattern triggers an automatic fallback to orc-mini.
