$gsd-quick.$gsd-quick as {{GSD_ARGS}}.{{GSD_ARGS}} as empty.GSD workflows use AskUserQuestion (Claude Code syntax). Translate to Codex request_user_input:
Parameter mapping:
header → headerquestion → question"Label" — description → {label: "Label", description: "description"}id from header: lowercase, replace spaces with underscoresBatched calls:
AskUserQuestion([q1, q2]) → single request_user_input with multiple entries in questions[]Multi-select workaround:
multiSelect. Use sequential single-selects, or present a numbered freeform list asking the user to enter comma-separated numbers.Execute mode fallback:
request_user_input is rejected or unavailable, you MUST stop and present the questions as a plain-text numbered list, then wait for the user's reply. Do NOT pick a default and continue (#3018).--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).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.fork_context: false by default — GSD agents load their own context via <files_to_read> blocksTask(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:
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:
wait(ids) for all to completeResult parsing:
CHECKPOINT, PLAN COMPLETE, SUMMARY, etc.close_agent(id) after collecting results from each agent
</codex_skill_adapter>Quick mode is the same system with a shorter path:
.planning/quick/ separate from planned phasesDefault: 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 statusstatus <slug> — Show status of a specific quick taskresume <slug> — Resume a specific quick task by slug
</objective>
<execution_context> @$HOME/.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>
Parse {{GSD_ARGS}} for subcommands FIRST:
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.
When SUBCMD=list:
ls -d .planning/quick/*/ 2>/dev/null
For each directory found:
status from its frontmatter via:
gsd-sdk query frontmatter.get .planning/quick/{dir}/SUMMARY.md status
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)complete ✓incompletein-progressabandoned? (>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.

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.
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: $gsd-quick resume {slug}
No agent spawn. STOP after printing.
When SUBCMD=resume and SLUG is set (already sanitized):
Find the directory matching *-{SLUG} pattern:
dir=$(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 to extract description and SUMMARY.md (if exists) to extract status.
Print before spawning:
[quick] Resuming: .planning/quick/{dir}/
[quick] Plan: {description from PLAN.md}
[quick] Status: {status from SUMMARY.md, or "in-progress"}
Load context via:
gsd-sdk query init.quick
Proceed to execute the quick workflow with resume context, passing the slug and plan directory so the executor picks up where it left off.
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>
