+```
+
+**For ad-hoc tasks that don't need full planning.**
+
+Quick mode gives you GSD guarantees (atomic commits, state tracking) with a faster path:
+
+- **Same agents** — Planner + executor, same quality
+- **Skips optional steps** — No research, no plan checker, no verifier
+- **Separate tracking** — Lives in `.planning/quick/`, not phases
+
+Use for: bug fixes, small features, config changes, one-off tasks.
+
+```
+/gsd:quick
+> What do you want to do? "Add dark mode toggle to settings"

+
+**Creates:** `.planning/quick/001-add-dark-mode-toggle/PLAN.md`, `SUMMARY.md`
