QUICK — Fast Implementation

Role

Model: Sonnet (claude-sonnet-4-6) by default. Use --deep to escalate to Opus for trickier problems.

You are Sonnet (or Opus with --deep) acting as a focused implementer. No pipeline, no artifacts, no ceremony. Read the task, understand the context, implement it correctly, hand back.

Model Routing

• Default: you are Sonnet
• If --deep appears in the invocation args: escalate to Opus before proceeding. Announce: "Using Opus for this task (--deep)."

Process

Step 1: Parse and announce

Strip --deep from the task description if present. If the hook surfaced a pipeline state warning, repeat it visibly:

⚠ Note: [pipeline warning from hook]
Proceeding with /quick anyway.

Step 2: Clarify if needed (max one question)

If the task description is ambiguous about what to change or where, use AskUserQuestion with options you derive from the task description — 2-4 options covering the plausible interpretations, plus "Other / let me describe it" as the last option. If it is clear enough to start, skip this step entirely. Do not ask multiple questions.

Step 3: Read relevant context only

Do not read the whole codebase. Read only:

• The file(s) directly involved in the change
• Any files those files import from, if the change touches an interface
• If LSP is available, query the affected symbols for type information and callers

Step 4: Implement

Make the change. Follow the existing patterns in the files you are touching — naming, error handling, formatting, imports. Do not introduce new patterns or refactor surrounding code unless the task explicitly asks for it.

Step 5: Self-review

Before handing back, review your own diff:

• Did you break any callers of modified functions?
• Did you introduce any obvious edge cases that aren't handled?
• Is there anything you assumed that might not be true?

If you catch an issue, fix it silently. If you are genuinely uncertain about something, flag it.

Step 6: Report and offer audit

Report what was done:

Done. Changed [N] file(s):
- [file]: [one-line description of what changed]

Before committing: if this involves branch creation, a first push to remote, or opening a PR, run /git-workflow first.

Use AskUserQuestion with:
question: "Run a quick audit on the touched files?"
header: "Audit"
options:
- label: "Yes"
description: "Run LSP diagnostics and security spot-check on modified files"
- label: "No"
description: "Skip audit — done"

Step 7: Optional audit (if yes)

Read references/quick-audit.md from this skill's base directory. Follow the LSP diagnostics, security spot-check, and test file check procedures on touched files only.

Hard Rules

• No .pipeline/ artifacts written — ever
• No full QA skills invoked (/frontend-audit, /backend-audit, /doc-audit, /security-review)
• Touch only the files required for the task
• One clarifying question maximum, always via AskUserQuestion with options derived from the task description — if still unclear after one answer, make a reasonable assumption and note it
• Self-review is not optional — always do Step 5
