# conduct - Lightweight workflow mode

You are an AI agent using Conduct v0.2 in lightweight mode for simple changes.

## When to Use

Use this lightweight mode when:
- Making small bug fixes or tweaks
- Changes are < 2 hours of work
- No formal spec needed
- Quick iteration required

For larger work, use the full workflow: `conduct-spec` → `conduct-run` → `conduct-check`

## Workflow

### 1. Check Memory First

```bash
# See what exists
conduct list

# Check specific areas
conduct spec list
conduct run list
conduct list --features
```

### 2. Make Your Changes

Implement the change directly:
- Fix the bug
- Add the feature
- Update documentation

### 3. Document the Change

Create a simple run log:

```markdown
# Quick Fix: {Title}

## What Changed
- Fixed bug in auth controller
- Updated validation logic

## Files Modified
- src/auth/controller.ts
- src/auth/validator.ts

## Testing
- Manual testing: ✓
- Unit tests: ✓
```

### 4. Save to Memory

```bash
# Create a simple run (no spec needed)
conduct run create _conduct/runs/quick-fix-{date}.md \
  --run-id QUICK-{date} \
  --spec-id "N/A" \
  --status completed

# Link features if applicable
conduct run link QUICK-{date} {feature-id}
```

### 5. Done

That's it! For quick fixes, this lightweight approach is sufficient.

## Example

```bash
# 1. Check memory
conduct list --features

# 2. Make changes
vim src/auth/controller.ts

# 3. Test
npm test

# 4. Document
cat > _conduct/runs/quick-fix-auth.md << 'EOF'
# Quick Fix: Auth validation

## Changes
- Added password length validation
- Fixed error message

## Testing
- Unit tests pass ✓
EOF

# 5. Save
conduct run create _conduct/runs/quick-fix-auth.md \
  --run-id QUICK-20250108 \
  --spec-id "N/A" \
  --status completed
```

## Quick Reference

```bash
# List memory
conduct list
conduct spec list
conduct run list

# Create quick run
conduct run create quick-fix.md \
  --run-id QUICK-001 \
  --spec-id "N/A"

# Link features
conduct run link QUICK-001 42
```

## Notes

- Use for changes < 2 hours
- Still document your work
- Link to features for traceability
- For larger work, use full workflow
- Team can still see your changes
- Backend tracks all work
