name: ipa-fast
description: Run the complete IPA workflow in one command with minimal prompts, skipping all validation gates. Use when experienced with IPA and project scope is well understood, for rapid prototyping with a known requirement, or when combining raw text, URL, and image references in one pass. Trigger phrases: "ipa fast mode", "full ipa in one command", "skip all gates and generate everything".

## Overview

Fast mode runs the complete IPA pipeline — lean analysis, spec, design, detail — in one command, skipping all gate prompts. Supports three input types individually or combined.

## When to Use

- Experienced with IPA workflow and gates
- Project scope is well understood and validated externally
- Rapid prototyping where throwaway docs are acceptable
- Combining multiple input references (text + URL + image)

## Don't Use When

- First time using IPA workflow
- Complex enterprise projects or multi-stakeholder environments
- User research is incomplete
- You want gate checkpoints between phases

## Input Types

| Input | Prefix | Purpose |
|-------|--------|---------|
| Raw requirement | (none) | Text describing the feature/project |
| URL reference | `@https://...` | Design inspiration from website |
| Image reference | `@./path.png` | Design inspiration from screenshot |

## Examples

```
# Raw requirement only
ipa-fast "Build a task management app for remote teams"

# Raw requirement + URL reference
ipa-fast "Build a SaaS dashboard" @https://stripe.com/billing

# Raw requirement + image reference
ipa-fast "Build a dashboard" @./design-mockup.png

# All 3 inputs combined
ipa-fast "Build a FinOps dashboard" @https://stripe.com @./color-palette.png

# URL only (requirement inferred)
ipa-fast @https://linear.app
```

## Pipeline

```
ipa-fast "requirement" [@url] [@image]
    ↓
1. lean "requirement" --fast       (GATE 1 skipped)
    ↓
2. ipa-spec "requirement" @url @image --fast  (GATE 2 skipped)
   → Design System extracted from references
    ↓
3. ipa-design --fast               (GATE 3 skipped)
   → Prototypes generated from Design System
    ↓
4. ipa-detail
    ↓
Output: All IPA docs generated
    ↓
Final: "Review generated docs. Ready to plan?"
```

## Execution Steps

### Step 1: Lean Analysis
Run lean with fast flag — skip GATE 1. Log warning: "GATE 1 (Scope Validation) skipped".

### Step 2: Spec Generation
Run ipa-spec with fast flag — skip GATE 2. Log warning: "GATE 2 (Spec Validation) skipped".

### Step 3: Design Generation
Run ipa-design with fast flag — skip GATE 3. Log warning: "GATE 3 (Design Validation) skipped".

### Step 4: Detail Design
Run ipa-detail to generate API_SPEC.md and DB_DESIGN.md.

### Step 5: Final Summary

```
IPA Fast Mode Complete

Generated docs:
- docs/SRD.md
- docs/UI_SPEC.md
- docs/API_SPEC.md
- docs/DB_DESIGN.md
- prototypes/html-mockups/

Skipped gates: GATE 1, GATE 2, GATE 3

Next steps:
1. Review generated docs for accuracy
2. Run ipa-validate to check traceability
3. Plan with docs and prototypes as context
