FAQPage Schema

How do I dispatch ad-hoc coding tasks to a vendor without OpenSpec proposals?▼

You can dispatch ad-hoc coding tasks directly to a vendor using a single prompt, bypassing OpenSpec ceremony. The task is sent instantly to your configured vendor, which returns the raw output for quick bug fixes or minor refactors.

Can I select a specific vendor like codex or claude for a quick code fix?▼

Yes, you can select a specific vendor for a quick code fix. The feature supports optional vendor selection, allowing you to target any available vendor CLI defined in your agents.yaml configuration.

What do I need to configure before sending small code fixes to a vendor?▼

You need to have at least one vendor CLI defined in your agents.yaml file. This prerequisite ensures the system has a valid destination to instantly dispatch your small coding tasks and receive raw output.

Does the quick-task workflow create Git commits or modify my worktree?▼

No, the quick-task workflow does not create Git commits or modify your worktree. It returns the raw vendor output directly, leaving your repository state untouched while you evaluate the ad-hoc code explanation or fix.

Are there limitations when sending large prompts for ad-hoc code refactoring?▼

When sending large prompts for ad-hoc code refactoring, the system issues a complexity warning but proceeds automatically. It is designed for single-prompt tasks, so large or complex requests may not be handled with the same depth as full proposals.
