f fast

Run AI tasks through the low-latency fast client path.

This command is optimized for hot-loop invocation and prefers fai/ai-taskd-client over full f task startup.

Usage

f fast ai:flow/noop
f fast ai:flow/bench-cli -- --iterations 30
f fast --root ~/code/flow ai:flow/dev-check
f fast --no-cache ai:flow/dev-check

Behavior

1. Tries fast client dispatch (fai, local target/.../ai-taskd-client, or ai-taskd-client on PATH).
2. If daemon is not running, starts ai-taskd and retries.
3. Falls back to direct daemon dispatch if no fast client binary is found.

Options

• --root <PATH>: root directory for .ai/tasks discovery (default .)
• --no-cache: disable cached binary execution and use direct Moon run
• TASK: required AI selector like ai:flow/dev-check
• trailing args after -- are passed to the task

Notes

• f fast is intentionally for ai:* selectors only.
• Install fai for best latency:

f install-ai-fast-client
f tasks daemon start
f fast ai:flow/noop

For pooled burst execution and timings, use fai directly:

fai --timings ai:flow/noop
printf 'ai:flow/noop\nai:flow/noop\n' | fai --batch-stdin --timings
