backbay-labs Quick mode is the same system with a shorter path:
- Spawns thrunt-hunt-planner (quick mode) + thrunt-telemetry-executor(s)
- Quick tasks live in
.planning/quick/separate from planned phases - Updates STATE.md "Quick Tasks Completed" table (NOT HUNTMAP.md)
Default: Skips research, discussion, plan-checker, and findings validation. Use when you know exactly what to do.
--discuss flag: Lightweight discussion phase before planning. Surfaces assumptions, clarifies gray areas, captures decisions in CONTEXT.md. Use when the task has ambiguity worth resolving upfront.
--full flag: Enables plan-checking (max 2 iterations) and post-execution findings validation. Use when you want quality guarantees without full milestone ceremony.
--research flag: Spawns a focused research agent before planning. Investigates implementation approaches, library options, and pitfalls for the task. Use when you're unsure of the best approach.
Flags are composable: --discuss --research --full gives discussion + research + plan-checking + findings validation.
Context files are resolved inside the workflow (init quick) and delegated via <files_to_read> blocks.
