coco-research Quick mode is the same system with a shorter path:
- Spawns gsd-planner (quick mode) + gsd-executor(s)
- Quick tasks live in
.planning/quick/separate from planned phases - Updates STATE.md "Quick Tasks Completed" table (NOT ROADMAP.md)
Default: Skips research, discussion, plan-checker, verifier. 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 the complete quality pipeline — discussion + research + plan-checking + verification. One flag for everything.
--validate flag: Enables plan-checking (max 2 iterations) and post-execution verification only. Use when you want quality guarantees without discussion or research.
--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.
Granular flags are composable: --discuss --research --validate gives the same result as --full.
Context files are resolved inside the workflow (init quick) and delegated via <files_to_read> blocks.
