<codex_skill_adapter>

A. Skill Invocation

• This skill is invoked by mentioning $gsd-quick.
• Treat all user text after $gsd-quick as {{GSD_ARGS}}.
• If no arguments are present, treat {{GSD_ARGS}} as empty.

B. AskUserQuestion → request_user_input Mapping

GSD workflows use AskUserQuestion (Claude Code syntax). Translate to Codex request_user_input:

Parameter mapping:

• header → header
• question → question
• Options formatted as "Label" — description → {label: "Label", description: "description"}
• Generate id from header: lowercase, replace spaces with underscores

Batched calls:

• AskUserQuestion([q1, q2]) → single request_user_input with multiple entries in questions[]

Multi-select workaround:

• Codex has no multiSelect. Use sequential single-selects, or present a numbered freeform list asking the user to enter comma-separated numbers.

Execute mode fallback:

• When request_user_input is rejected or unavailable, activate TEXT_MODE: append --text to {{GSD_ARGS}} so the workflow's built-in text-mode branching takes over. Present every AskUserQuestion call as a plain-text numbered list, then stop and wait for the user's reply. Do NOT pick a default and continue (#3018 / #3808).
• You may only proceed without a user answer when one of these is true: (a) the invocation included an explicit non-interactive flag (--auto or --all), (b) the user has explicitly approved a specific default for this question, or (c) the workflow's documented contract says defaults are safe (e.g. autonomous lifecycle paths).
• Do NOT write workflow artifacts (CONTEXT.md, DISCUSSION-LOG.md, PLAN.md, checkpoint files) until the user has answered the plain-text questions or one of (a)-(c) above applies. Surfacing the questions and waiting is the correct response — silently defaulting and writing artifacts is the #3018 failure mode.

C. Task() → spawn_agent Mapping

GSD workflows use Task(...) (Claude Code syntax). Translate to Codex collaboration tools:

Direct mapping:

• Task(subagent_type="X", prompt="Y") → spawn_agent(agent_type="X", message="Y")
• Task(model="...") → omit. spawn_agent has no inline model parameter; GSD embeds the resolved per-agent model directly into each agent's .toml at install time so model_overrides from .planning/config.json and ~/.gsd/defaults.json are honored automatically by Codex's agent router.
• Resolved reasoning_effort="low|medium|high|xhigh" (xhigh is a GSD/Codex tier, not a generic runtime enum) → pass reasoning_effort to spawn_agent when the runtime/tool supports it. Omit missing, empty, inherited, or unsupported values; do not invent one-off effort literals in workflow prose.
• fork_context: false by default — GSD agents load their own context via <files_to_read> blocks
• Task(isolation="worktree") / Agent(isolation="worktree") → no direct Codex mapping. Codex spawn_agent does not create or bind a git worktree automatically. Workflows that require this isolation must fail closed or use an explicit manual worktree protocol before spawning (#3360).

Spawn restriction:

• Codex restricts spawn_agent to cases where the user has explicitly requested sub-agents. When automatic spawning is not permitted, do the work inline in the current agent rather than attempting to force a spawn.

Parallel fan-out:

• Spawn multiple agents → collect agent IDs → wait(ids) for all to complete

Result parsing:

• Look for structured markers in agent output: CHECKPOINT, PLAN COMPLETE, SUMMARY, etc.
• close_agent(id) after collecting results from each agent </codex_skill_adapter>

<objective> Execute small, ad-hoc tasks with GSD guarantees (atomic commits, STATE.md tracking).

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.

Subcommands:

• list — List all quick tasks with status
• status <slug> — Show status of a specific quick task
• resume <slug> — Resume a specific quick task by slug </objective>

<execution_context> @/home/nnex/dev/prj/copilot-metrics/.codex/get-shit-done/workflows/quick.md </execution_context>

<context> {{GSD_ARGS}}

Context files are resolved inside the workflow (init quick) and delegated via <files_to_read> blocks. </context>

<process>

Parse {{GSD_ARGS}} for subcommands FIRST:

• If {{GSD_ARGS}} starts with "list": SUBCMD=list
• If {{GSD_ARGS}} starts with "status ": SUBCMD=status, SLUG=remainder (strip whitespace, sanitize)
• If {{GSD_ARGS}} starts with "resume ": SUBCMD=resume, SLUG=remainder (strip whitespace, sanitize)
• Otherwise: SUBCMD=run, pass full {{GSD_ARGS}} to the quick workflow as-is

Slug sanitization (for status and resume): Strip any characters not matching [a-z0-9-]. Reject slugs longer than 60 chars or containing .. or /. If invalid, output "Invalid session slug." and stop.

LIST subcommand

When SUBCMD=list:

ls -d .planning/quick/*/  2>/dev/null

For each directory found:

• Check if PLAN.md exists
• Check if SUMMARY.md exists; if so, read status from its frontmatter via:

  gsd-sdk query frontmatter.get .planning/quick/{dir}/SUMMARY.md status
  

• Determine directory creation date: stat -f "%SB" -t "%Y-%m-%d" (macOS) or stat -c "%w" (Linux); fall back to the date prefix in the directory name (format: YYYYMMDD- prefix)
• Derive display status:
  • SUMMARY.md exists, frontmatter status=complete → complete ✓
  • SUMMARY.md exists, frontmatter status=incomplete OR status missing → incomplete
  • SUMMARY.md missing, dir created <7 days ago → in-progress
  • SUMMARY.md missing, dir created ≥7 days ago → abandoned? (>7 days, no summary)

SECURITY: Directory names are read from the filesystem. Before displaying any slug, sanitize: strip non-printable characters, ANSI escape sequences, and path separators using: name.replace(/[^\x20-\x7E]/g, '').replace(/[/\\]/g, ''). Never pass raw directory names to shell commands via string interpolation.

Display format:

Quick Tasks
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
slug                           date        status
backup-s3-policy               2026-04-10  in-progress
auth-token-refresh-fix         2026-04-09  complete ✓
update-node-deps               2026-04-08  abandoned? (>7 days, no summary)
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
3 tasks (1 complete, 2 incomplete/in-progress)

If no directories found: print No quick tasks found. and stop.

STOP after displaying the list. Do NOT proceed to further steps.

STATUS subcommand

When SUBCMD=status and SLUG is set (already sanitized):

Find directory matching *-{SLUG} pattern:

dir=$(ls -d .planning/quick/*-{SLUG}/ 2>/dev/null | head -1)

If no directory found, print No quick task found with slug: {SLUG} and stop.

Read PLAN.md and SUMMARY.md (if exists) for the given slug. Display:

Quick Task: {slug}
─────────────────────────────────────
Plan file: .planning/quick/{dir}/PLAN.md
Status: {status from SUMMARY.md frontmatter, or "no summary yet"}
Description: {first non-empty line from PLAN.md after frontmatter}
Last action: {last meaningful line of SUMMARY.md, or "none"}
─────────────────────────────────────
Resume with: $gsd-quick resume {slug}

No agent spawn. STOP after printing.

RESUME subcommand

When SUBCMD=resume and SLUG is set (already sanitized):

1. Find the directory matching *-{SLUG} pattern:

   dir=$(ls -d .planning/quick/*-{SLUG}/ 2>/dev/null | head -1)
   

2. If no directory found, print No quick task found with slug: {SLUG} and stop.

3. Read PLAN.md to extract description and SUMMARY.md (if exists) to extract status.

4. Print before spawning:

   [quick] Resuming: .planning/quick/{dir}/
   [quick] Plan: {description from PLAN.md}
   [quick] Status: {status from SUMMARY.md, or "in-progress"}
   

5. Load context via:

   gsd-sdk query init.quick
   

6. Proceed to execute the quick workflow with resume context, passing the slug and plan directory so the executor picks up where it left off.

RUN subcommand (default)

When SUBCMD=run:

Execute end-to-end. Preserve all workflow gates (validation, task description, planning, execution, state updates, commits).

</process> <notes> - Quick tasks live in `.planning/quick/` — separate from phases, not tracked in ROADMAP.md - Each quick task gets a `YYYYMMDD-{slug}/` directory with PLAN.md and eventually SUMMARY.md - STATE.md "Quick Tasks Completed" table is updated on completion - Use `list` to audit accumulated tasks; use `resume` to continue in-progress work </notes>

<security_notes>

• Slugs from {{GSD_ARGS}} are sanitized before use in file paths: only [a-z0-9-] allowed, max 60 chars, reject ".." and "/"
• File names from readdir/ls are sanitized before display: strip non-printable chars and ANSI sequences
• Arti
