| description | Run a small fix or polish to an existing surface under a reduced quick-iteration Definition of Done — no subagents, no self-improvement pass. Use ONLY when the user explicitly invokes /quick; never select this mode on your own, never suggest it, and never let it self-trigger. |
Quick
A small fix should cost minutes, not half an hour. This mode trades the full Definition of Done for a reduced one that still protects correctness: the gates that catch real breakage stay, the rituals that only pay off on large or risky changes go.
Explicit only
This mode applies when — and only when — the user invoked /quick. Never classify a task as quick yourself, and never offer quick mode as an option: the choice is the user's alone, made by typing the command.
If the work outgrows the qualification criteria mid-task, stop, tell the user what it grew into, and continue under the full Definition of Done in CLAUDE.md. Discovering that a "small fix" needs a migration is not a reason to press on quietly.
Qualification criteria
Qualifies: a small fix or polish to an existing surface.
Any one of these disqualifies:
- a new route
- a new table or migration
- a new permission
- a new product surface
- a change to the posting rules or the chart of accounts
- a change to a published endpoint contract
A disqualified task runs under the full Definition of Done, even though the user invoked /quick. Say so before starting.
Workflow
- Work inline: no subagents, no charters, no ledger. You are the one reading, building, and testing.
- Load only the skills the change itself needs — the one covering the surface being touched — and nothing else on spec.
- Still work in an isolated worktree. Provisioning takes well under a minute, and the isolation is what lets the change be verified against a real server without disturbing anything else. The exception is a documentation-only diff (as defined in CLAUDE.md's Definition of Done), which needs no server and follows that path's no-provisioning rule even under
/quick.
- When continuing the same thread of work, reuse the lane already provisioned for it instead of setting up another.
Quick Definition of Done
When the user invoked /quick and the task qualifies, this list replaces the one in CLAUDE.md. It is derived from the same composition as the full Definition of Done — every criterion there declared its quick-mode disposition, so the two lists cannot drift apart.
pnpm run lint and pnpm run tsc are green. Run only the unit test files the change affects — the full suites run on the PR's CI.- A task is not done if it has leftover comments — remove them before finishing.
- One
pr-review pass over the lane's draft PR, with the fixes applied. A single pass, not a loop.
Everything the full list carries beyond these items is skipped entirely: the self-improvement pass is excluded outright, and every other missing criterion is one the qualification criteria guarantee cannot apply.
Where lessons go
Project-empirical lessons about this skill land in workflow-content/quick.md through a pull request on the project — never by editing this file, which is regenerated on every upgrade. A lesson that turns out to be true of every project travels as an issue on the workflow package instead.
