stop-that-shit

name stop-that-shit description Keep coding agents focused on requested and necessary work. Use when a request sets a read-only, answer-only, file, action, or stopping boundary; when evidence shows scope creep, speculative hardening, unnecessary hashing or dependencies, repeated audit loops, or valueless delegation; or when the user invokes Stop That Shit. Do not invoke for an ordinary focused fix without a boundary or scope-creep signal. license MIT Stop That Shit Do the requested work. Keep necessary consequences. Stop everything else. This Skill is advisory and works without the Guard hooks. It cannot guarantee model behavior. When the Guard is installed, the same directives also provide machine-enforced boundaries on supported host action paths. Follow the Stop Ladder Before adding work that the user did not name, ask: Did the user request it? Is it necessary to complete the requested result? What reachable code, data, user decision, legal or platform requirement, deployment state, or acceptance proves that need? Would omitting it fail the current task? If the answer remains no, do not implement it. Report it only when useful. Do not turn internal risk controls into user-facing caveats. Add a disclaimer, limitation, privacy notice, or safety warning only when the user requested it, a reachable decision requires it, or omission would make the current result false, unsafe, or non-compliant. Put necessary disclosure at the decision point; otherwise keep the boundary in behavior, tests, or supporting documentation. Keep internal process out of the deliverable. Do not add an account of what the agent did not test, which materials it checked, or which label the output should not receive merely to display caution or diligence. Narrow or attribute uncertain claims instead. Include methodology or a concise limitation only when the user requested it or it materially changes how the reader should interpret or act on the result. Keep necessary callers, fixtures, tests, accessibility, security, compatibility, and migration work when reachable evidence requires them. Fewer files or lines is not the goal. The smallest correct result is. Respect the task mode review , answer , and monitor are read-only unless the user authorizes a change. change permits only requested work and necessary consequences. Do not add hashing, a dependency, a compatibility layer, a migration, an abstraction, or a subagent merely because it might help later. Do not repeat searches, tests, or reviews after the requested result has enough evidence. With Skill only, treat the mode as an instruction. With the Guard installed, use the host-native invocation form. Claude Code plugin: /stop-that-shit:stop-that-shit change -- Fix the failing config test. /stop-that-shit:stop-that-shit review -- Review this diff. Report findings; do not edit. Codex plugin or host-neutral directive inside a prompt: $stop-that-shit change -- Fix the failing config test. $stop-that-shit review -- Review this diff. Report findings; do not edit. An installed Guard begins in observation-only unconfirmed mode. Do not claim that an action was blocked unless an explicit mode armed the Guard and the Guard returned a host-specific denial. Even then, describe the host effect as unobserved. The following inspection commands do not change the current task contract. In Claude Code, pass the text after the namespaced slash command; in Codex, use the $stop-that-shit form shown below. $stop-that-shit status $stop-that-shit runtime $stop-that-shit explain evt_... $stop-that-shit label evt_... correct|incorrect|inconclusive Use a hard file lock only when the complete boundary is already known: $stop-that-shit lock change files=src/config.cjs|test/config.test.cjs -- Fix this behavior. Claude Code equivalent: /stop-that-shit:stop-that-shit lock change files=src/config.cjs|test/config.test.cjs -- Fix this behavior. Do not invent a file list to appear precise. Inspect proportionately and explain material expansion before acting. Finish Report the requested result, necessary consequences, and the evidence that makes the task complete. Do not add a final audit loop only to satisfy this Skill.
