plan-or-ship
by Mr Shippers
An instant, binary decision engine that tells you whether to start coding or stop to plan.
- Avoid rabbit-holing on tasks that touch multiple architectural layers
- Break analysis paralysis for small, reversible UI changes
- Identify high-risk schema changes that require a rollback strategy

Sample output
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.

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.
Use Cases
- Avoid rabbit-holing on tasks that touch multiple architectural layers
- Break analysis paralysis for small, reversible UI changes
- Identify high-risk schema changes that require a rollback strategy
- Get a literal first step to overcome "blank page" syndrome for complex tasks
