{{command_prefix}}quick
Fast pipeline run. Skips optional-quality agents for speed while keeping the core decision chain (planner → executor → verifier → auditor) intact.
Default skipped agents
design-phase-researcher - no external research stepdesign-assumptions-analyzer - no assumption surfacingdesign-integration-checker - skipped (verifier still runs)
Default kept agents
design-planner, design-executor, design-verifier, design-auditor
Steps
- Parse args:
- Optional stage name (defaults to full pipeline from the current STATE.md position).
--skip <agent-name> (repeatable) adds to the skip list.
- Read
.design/STATE.md to determine entry stage if none was passed.
- For each stage to execute, invoke the stage skill but spawn it with the optional agents in the effective skip list omitted from the spawn graph - this skill is the orchestrator, so it simply does not call those agents (the stage skills do not read a
quick_mode flag; the skipping happens here, by not spawning them). The kept agents run exactly as in the full pipeline.
- After each stage, print: "Stage done. Skipped: ."
- Final summary prints which agents were skipped across the full run.
Mechanism note: {{command_prefix}}quick is a lighter-touch invocation of the normal stages, not a special stage mode. It reduces ceremony by leaving the listed optional-quality agents out of the spawn graph it orchestrates. There is no flag the stage skills parse - if invoked directly (not via this skill) the stages run their full agent set.
Use When
- You trust the problem scope (no need for fresh research).
- The project has a mature DESIGN-CONTEXT.md (assumptions already surfaced).
- You want verify + audit coverage without integration-checker overhead.
Do Not Use When
- First pipeline run in a new project - use the full pipeline.
- Large or cross-cutting changes - skip risks are higher.
