/gdd: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 step
• design-assumptions-analyzer - no assumption surfacing
• design-integration-checker - skipped (verifier still runs)

Default kept agents

• design-planner, design-executor, design-verifier, design-auditor

Steps

1. Parse args:
   • Optional stage name (defaults to full pipeline from the current STATE.md position).
   • --skip <agent-name> (repeatable) adds to the skip list.
2. Read .design/STATE.md to determine entry stage if none was passed.
3. 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.
4. After each stage, print: "Stage done. Skipped: ."
5. Final summary prints which agents were skipped across the full run.

Mechanism note: /gdd: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.
