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
1. **Edit code only** — no `pnpm test`, no `pnpm build`, no `git commit` 2. **Small, focused changes** — one thing at a time so the user can verify each step 3. **Trust the dev server** — assume hot-reload picks up changes (Next.js, Vite, etc.) 4. **Wait for user feedback** — after each change, pause and let the user check the result 5. **No over-engineering** — do exactly what the user asks, nothing more 6. **When user says "done"** — remind them to run `pnpm validate` and tests before committing
Flow
User describes change → Edit files → User checks dev server → Repeat
Exit
When the user is satisfied, suggest:
pnpm validate # lint + format + typecheck
pnpm test:unit # catch regressions
Then offer `/shep-kit:commit-pr` or `/commit` to wrap up.
