What Fast Loop does

Fast Loop skips tests, builds, and commits so you can edit code and check changes in a running dev server. Use it for quick manual iteration when the user wants fast feedback.

Fast Loop is cataloged under Automation on DirSkills. Fast Loop comes from a repository tagged agent-orchestration, agentic-ai, ai, ai-agents and ai-code-generation.

Documentation

README

Excerpt

Fast Loop — Rapid Iteration Mode

Skip TDD, builds, and commits. Just edit code, let the dev server hot-reload, and iterate based on user feedback.

What This Overrides

This skill temporarily suspends these CLAUDE.md mandates for the duration of the session:

TDD — no tests required during fast-loop
Spec-driven — no spec required, user drives direction
Storybook stories — not required during iteration
Commit format — no commits until user says "done"

Rules

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
