msd-core/gsd-core/workflows/fast.md

Execute a trivial task inline without subagent overhead. No PLAN.md, no Task spawning, no research, no plan checking. Just: understand → do → commit → log.

For tasks like: fix a typo, update a config value, add a missing import, rename a variable, commit uncommitted work, add a .gitignore entry, bump a version number.

Use /gsd:quick for anything that needs multi-step planning or research.

Parse `$ARGUMENTS` for the task description.

If empty, ask:

What's the quick fix? (one sentence)

Store as $TASK.

**Before doing anything, verify this is actually trivial.**

A task is trivial if it can be completed in:

• ≤ 3 file edits
• ≤ 1 minute of work
• No new dependencies or architecture changes
• No research needed

If the task seems non-trivial (multi-file refactor, new feature, needs research), say:

This looks like it needs planning. Use /gsd:quick instead:
  /gsd:quick "{task description}"

And stop.

Do the work directly:

1. Read the relevant file(s)
2. Make the change(s)
3. Verify the change works (run existing tests if applicable, or do a quick sanity check)

No PLAN.md. Just do it.

Commit the change atomically:

Use conventional commit format: fix:, feat:, docs:, chore:, refactor: as appropriate.

If `.planning/STATE.md` exists and has a "Quick Tasks Completed" table, append a row that matches the existing table's schema via the schema-backed `gsd-tools quick-tasks-append` helper (`markdown-table.cjs`'s `appendQuickTaskRow`; #2133, ADR-2143 §3/§7). If no table exists, skip silently. If the table's schema is unrecognized, the helper fails loud (non-zero exit) instead of silently guessing a column count — this replaces the prior inline `awk NF-2` arithmetic that was the root cause of #2133.

# Detect whether STATE.md has a Quick Tasks Completed table
if grep -q "Quick Tasks Completed" .planning/STATE.md 2>/dev/null; then
  # #3730: bring a legacy pre-registry table onto the canonical schema BEFORE
  # appending — silent no-op when already canonical, so this runs harmlessly
  # on every fast task and migrates exactly once, on the first.
  gsd_run quick-tasks-migrate || true
  gsd_run quick-tasks-append --task "$TASK" || echo "⚠ fast.md log_to_state: could not append Quick Tasks row (see message above); continuing."

Report completion:

✅ Done: {what was changed}
   Commit: {short hash}
   Files: {list of changed files}

No next-step suggestions. No workflow routing. Just done.

- NEVER spawn a Task/subagent — this runs inline - NEVER create PLAN.md or SUMMARY.md files - NEVER run research or plan-checking - If the task takes more than 3 file edits, STOP and redirect to /gsd:quick - If you're unsure how to implement it, STOP and redirect to /gsd:quick
