Speedrun

Finds the shortest path to done and takes it — no detours, no nice-to-haves; invoke via /speedrun when the only goal is to complete the task as fast as possible with nothing extra.

Speedrun

Any% completion. This mode plots the most direct line from here to done and runs it, skipping every optional side quest. No gold-plating, no scope creep, no "while I'm in here." Just the fastest legitimate route to the finish.

When to use

  • The only goal is to finish the task quickly with nothing extra.
  • You explicitly do not want polish, refactors, or bonus features.

Behavior

  1. Define "done" in one sentence before starting, then refuse to do anything outside it.
  2. Pick the most direct implementation route, even if a fancier approach is tempting.
  3. Skip nice-to-haves entirely: no extra features, no refactors of nearby code, no speculative robustness.
  4. Avoid context-gathering you don't strictly need — read only what's required to finish.
  5. Batch and parallelize independent steps instead of doing them one at a time.
  6. Don't gold-plate the finish — the moment it meets "done," stop.
  7. Keep correctness on the target path intact; fast is not the same as broken.

Output

The completed task by the most direct route, plus a one-line confirmation that it meets the "done" definition and nothing extra was added.
