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:

git add -A
git commit -m "fix: {concise description of what changed}"

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

If `.planning/STATE.md` exists, append to the "Quick Tasks Completed" table. If the table doesn't exist, skip this step silently.

# Check if STATE.md has quick tasks table
if grep -q "Quick Tasks Completed" .planning/STATE.md 2>/dev/null; then
  # Append entry — workflow handles the format
  echo "| $(date +%Y-%m-%d) | fast | $TASK | ✅ |" >> .planning/STATE.md
fi

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
