Where are the planning artifacts for quick tasks stored?

All plans and execution summaries are organized sequentially within the .planning/quick/ directory of your project.

Can I automate GitHub Pull Requests with this skill?

Yes, if the pr_workflow configuration is enabled and an issue flag is provided, the skill can automatically create a branch, push changes, and open a PR.

How does Quick Mode differ from a standard Kata phase?

Quick Mode skips the research, plan-checking, and verification agents to execute simple tasks faster while still maintaining atomic commits and state tracking.

Does this skill update my project ROADMAP.md?

No, Quick Tasks are tracked separately in STATE.md under a dedicated 'Quick Tasks Completed' section to keep your main roadmap focused on larger milestones.
