Your first win in 5 minutes

Haven't decided to install yet? This is the whole thing, end to end, on a task small enough to finish in one sitting. Read it once and you'll know whether the two-command install is worth it.

We'll add a --quiet flag to a CLI — small, real, one file of code.

1. Install (30 seconds)

/plugin marketplace add https://github.com/SpaiR/task-pipeline.git
/plugin install task@task-pipeline

That's the whole setup — nothing to configure by hand: the first capture writes .task/CLAUDE.md for you.

2. Talk it through (1 minute)

No command yet, no ceremony. Just chat, the way you already would:

you:  add a --quiet flag to the CLI that silences normal output
you:  default off; when it's set, suppress info and debug logs
you:  but always still print real errors to stderr
you:  no config file, just the flag

You've explored it, changed your mind once, landed on the shape. That discussion is the part that normally dies on /clear.

Optional: grill it first

When a plan has real forks — this flag's default, that error's fallback — run /task:grill before you capture. It interrogates the plan one question at a time, keeps a decision ledger, and ends with a pre-mortem, then routes you to the right capture skill. It writes nothing and needs no config, so it works even as your very first command. Our --quiet flag is small enough to skip it; reach for it when the decision has more at stake.

3. Capture it (one command)

/task:to-plan

On a fresh project this detects your language and test policy, writes .task/CLAUDE.md, reports what it wrote, then drafts the task file and prints a short digest of what it captured. You don't pre-approve a draft — the chat was the review; the file is already written when the digest appears.

4. The file that lands

.task/task/quiet-flag.md — plain Markdown you can open and hand-edit:

# Add a --quiet flag to the CLI
---
## Description

### Problem
The CLI always prints info and debug output; there's no way to run it silently
in a script and see only real failures.

### Outcome
A `--quiet` flag, off by default. When set, info and debug logs are suppressed,
but genuine errors still print to stderr. No config file — just the flag.

## Plan

### Step 1: Add the flag and gate log output on it
**Goal:** `mycli --quiet` runs with info/debug silenced while errors still reach
stderr; without the flag, output is unchanged.
**Touches:** `src/cli.ts` `src/logger.ts`
**Logic:** Register `--quiet` (boolean, default false). Thread it into the
logger as a min-level: quiet raises the floor to `error`, so info/debug are
dropped but `error` still writes to stderr.

## Execution
> Read [.task/CLAUDE.md](../CLAUDE.md) and follow its `## Executing a task` section.

That one-line ## Execution pointer is stamped on every task. The instructions themselves live in .task/CLAUDE.md, in a single copy — so you never re-explain the process, and editing them there changes how every task is executed, including ones you captured earlier.

5. Implement it

Hand the path to any session — this one, or a fresh one after a /clear. implement is an ordinary chat message, not a slash command — type it as you'd type any instruction:

implement .task/task/quiet-flag.md

That session works the plan and commits — then spawns task:code-reviewer on the diff. The reviewer reads the commit, proves each defect it suspects before touching anything, fixes the confirmed ones within the files under Touches, runs your build and tests, and amends that same commit. Nothing was committed before this step — until now it was all working-tree edits.

6. What the commit looks like

feat(cli): add --quiet flag to silence normal output

- register a boolean --quiet flag, default off
- raise the logger floor to error when set; errors still reach stderr

One file of code, one commit, and a .task/task/quiet-flag.md you can delete or keep as the record. That's the loop. Everything else in these docs is the same loop at larger sizes — plans, roadmaps, specs, autopilot.
