Fast - Get Shit Done

<purpose> Execute a trivial task inline without subagent overhead. No PLAN.md, no Task spawning, no research, no plan checking. Just: understand → do → commit → log.

For tasks like: fix a typo, update a config value, add a missing import, rename a variable, commit uncommitted work, add a .gitignore entry, bump a version number.

Use /gsd-quick for anything that needs multi-step planning or research. </purpose>

<process> <step name="parse_task"> Parse `$ARGUMENTS` for the task description.

If empty, ask:

What's the quick fix? (one sentence)

Store as $TASK. </step>

<step name="scope_check"> **Before doing anything, verify this is actually trivial.**

A task is trivial if it can be completed in:

≤ 3 file edits
≤ 1 minute of work
No new dependencies or architecture changes
No research needed

If the task seems non-trivial (multi-file refactor, new feature, needs research), say:

This looks like it needs planning. Use /gsd-quick instead:
  /gsd-quick "{task description}"

And stop. </step>

<step name="execute_inline"> Do the work directly:

Read the relevant file(s)
Make the change(s)
Verify the change works (run existing tests if applicable, or do a quick sanity check)

No PLAN.md. Just do it. </step>

<step name="commit"> Commit the change atomically:

bash

git add -A
git commit -m "fix: {concise description of what changed}"

Use conventional commit format: fix:, feat:, docs:, chore:, refactor: as appropriate. </step>

<step name="log_to_state"> If `.planning/STATE.md` exists, append to the "Quick Tasks Completed" table. If the table doesn't exist, skip this step silently.

bash

# Check if STATE.md has quick tasks table
if grep -q "Quick Tasks Completed" .planning/STATE.md 2>/dev/null; then
  # Append entry — workflow handles the format
  echo "| $(date +%Y-%m-%d) | fast | $TASK | ✅ |" >> .planning/STATE.md
fi

</step> <step name="done"> Report completion:

✅ Done: {what was changed}
   Commit: {short hash}
   Files: {list of changed files}

No next-step suggestions. No workflow routing. Just done. </step>

</process> <guardrails> - NEVER spawn a Task/subagent — this runs inline - NEVER create PLAN.md or SUMMARY.md files - NEVER run research or plan-checking - If the task takes more than 3 file edits, STOP and redirect to /gsd-quick - If you're unsure how to implement it, STOP and redirect to /gsd-quick </guardrails>

<success_criteria>
