SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Experienced users of the PDCA workflow must manually approve eight checkpoints per feature even after earning a high trust score, creating repetitive friction. This Skill removes that friction by auto-approving Checkpoints 1-8 once trust and design prerequisites are met, while falling back to manual gates when they are not.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Precondition Gating: Engages only when fast-track is enabled in bkit.config.json, the trust score is at least 80, and a design doc exists for the feature.
  • Automation Level Escalation: Recommends escalation from L2 to L3 and persists an engagement record with an audit trail to .bkit/runtime/fast-track-log.json.
  • Fail-Open Fallback: Blocks engagement with a specific remedy hint (disabled_in_config, trust_score_too_low, design_doc_missing) and pauses to the fallback level if a checkpoint has no Recommended option.
  • Use Case: A developer who has completed several /pdca check cycles and written a design doc runs /pdca-fast-track my-feature to skip all eight manual checkpoint prompts while keeping a per-checkpoint decision audit log.

Quick Start

Run /pdca-fast-track with your feature name after creating its design doc to auto-approve all PDCA checkpoints.

Frequently Asked Questions about pdca-fast-track

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I skip PDCA checkpoints in bkit?▼

Run /pdca-fast-track with your feature name to auto-approve Checkpoints 1-8. Engagement requires fast-track enabled in bkit.config.json, a trust score of at least 80, and an existing design doc for the feature.

What trust score is required for PDCA fast-track?▼

The default minimum trust score is 80, configured via fastTrack.minTrustScore in bkit.config.json. Your current score is read from .bkit/state/trust-profile.json, and a missing file is treated as 0, which blocks engagement.

Why does fast-track say design_doc_missing?▼

The design_doc_missing block means no design document was found for the feature using the pdca.docPaths.design templates in bkit.config.json. Run /pdca design with the feature name first, then retry fast-track.

What happens if a checkpoint has no Recommended option?▼

The skill records a fallback decision with reason no_recommended in the audit log and pauses to the fallback automation level, which defaults to L2. Manual review then resumes for that checkpoint.

Does fast-track keep an audit trail of skipped checkpoints?▼

Yes. Each checkpoint decision is appended via recordCheckpoint to .bkit/runtime/fast-track-log.json, including the checkpoint number, decision, and reason. The log uses whitelisted fields only to prevent injection of user-controlled keys.
