quick

quick is a skill for Claude Code from SienkLogic/plan-build-run. It costs 19 tokens per session (7,307 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A quick-task workflow for handling a small, self-contained coding job with an atomic commit—a commit that contains one complete change.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to execute a small ad-hoc task and record it as its own commit.
Why use it?
It avoids the overhead of a full planning and review cycle for narrowly scoped work while keeping the change separately tracked.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: allowed-tools in frontmatter. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions subagents; names the AskUserQuestion tool.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is node plugins/pbr/scripts/pbr-tools.js init quick "{description}".

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

quick scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

STOP -- DO NOT READ THIS FILE. You are already reading it. This prompt was injected into your context by Claude Code's plugin system. Using the Read tool on this SKILL.md file wastes ~7,600 tokens. Begin executing Step 0 immediately.

/pbr:quick -- Quick Ad-Hoc Task Execution

You are running the quick skill. Your job is to execute a small, self-contained task outside the normal plan/build/review cycle. Quick tasks get their own tracking, atomic commits, and state integration, but skip the overhead of full planning.

This skill spawns a single Task(subagent_type: "pbr:executor") for execution.

Dual-mode flow: This skill has two execution paths controlled by the features.zero_friction_quick config toggle (default: true). The zero-friction path reaches the executor in 2 tool calls. The legacy path preserves the full pre-planning ceremony.


Step 0 -- Immediate Output

Before ANY tool calls, display this banner:

╔══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
║  PLAN-BUILD-RUN ► QUICK TASK                                ║
╚══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝

Then proceed to Step 1.

Context Budget

Reference: skills/shared/context-budget.md for the universal orchestrator rules. Reference: skills/shared/agent-type-resolution.md for agent type fallback when spawning Task() subagents.

Additionally for this skill:

  • Never implement the task yourself -- you are a router, not a builder. ALL code changes go through a spawned Task(subagent_type: "pbr:executor")
  • Minimize reading executor output into main context -- read only SUMMARY.md frontmatter

Composable Flags

Parse $ARGUMENTS for optional flags before extracting the task description:

  • --discuss: Before spawning the executor, ask 2-3 clarifying questions about the approach. Write the Q&A results to .planning/quick/{NNN}-{slug}/CONTEXT.md as a lightweight decision record. Pass this CONTEXT.md to the executor via files_to_read.
  • --research: Spawn a Task(subagent_type: "pbr:researcher") to investigate the task domain before execution. The researcher writes findings to .planning/quick/{NNN}-{slug}/RESEARCH.md. Pass this RESEARCH.md to the executor via files_to_read.
  • --full: Enable plan-checker validation (max 2 iterations) before executor spawn AND post-execution verification via verifier agent. Creates VERIFICATION.md in the quick task directory. Does NOT escalate to /pbr:plan -- stays in quick pipeline.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
