Example session with this skill installed
I'm going to add that new user roles feature now. It requires adding a few columns to the users table and updating the Redis cache logic so the UI doesn't lag. Ready to start?
- Read your context and instructions
- Compiled the plan-or-ship
VERDICT: PLAN FIRST
WHY: Touches Postgres schema and the cached read layer; schema migrations are not reversible cheaply.
NEXT: Open notes. Write the new schema, the migration query, and the rollback query. 10 minutes.
Connects securely to your tools. The creator never sees your data.
About this skill
Stop Overthinking. Start Moving.
The biggest productivity killers for developers are rabbit-holing on under-scoped tasks or over-planning trivial ones. This skill acts as a high-speed logic gate for your workflow, providing an instant binary verdict on whether you should dive into the code or step back to design.
What it does
By analyzing your task description, level of risk, and potential technical debt, the skill delivers a hard decision in exactly three lines:
- VERDICT: A clear PLAN FIRST or SHIP NOW call.
- WHY: A one-sentence technical justification focused on risk and reversibility.
- NEXT: A literal, physical action to take immediately (e.g., "Open schema.sql" or "Sketch the data flow").
Why use this skill
While generic AI might give you pros and cons, this skill is programmed with strict heuristic rules. It considers file depth, DB schema impact, and your own history with the task to prevent "analysis paralysis." It doesn't use "it depends"—it makes the call so you don't have to waste mental cycles on the decision itself.
Integration
Perfect for CLI-bound agents like Claude Code, Cursor, or any developer-focused LLM wrapper where you need quick, decisive guidance before touching your keyboard.
