What problem does it solve?
The full multi-agent StatsClaw workflow adds unnecessary overhead and processing time for small, low-risk routine changes that do not require deep analysis or cross-pipeline verification, creating friction for quick maintenance tasks.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Clear Eligibility Criteria: Defines explicit smallness rules (≤3 files changed, no algorithmic or public API changes, no reference material, routine pattern) to identify tasks suitable for the streamlined path.
- Streamlined Pipeline: Skips non-essential workflow components (planner, scriber, reviewer) to reduce steps from 9 agents to 4, cutting processing time for eligible tasks.
- Built-in Guardrails: Retains critical quality checks via tester validation, includes clear escalation paths to the full workflow if changes prove more complex than initially assessed.
- Use Case: Ideal for routine maintenance tasks like fixing typos, bumping dependency versions, repairing broken import paths, or adding simple default parameters that touch only a small number of files and carry no risk of breaking core functionality.
Quick Start
Use the simplified-workflow skill to handle small routine changes such as typo fixes, version number bumps, or broken import repairs that meet the predefined smallness criteria, skipping the full multi-agent pipeline for faster delivery.
