Manually-invoked skill that stops overthinking and forces a short, practical decision. Use only when the user explicitly invokes stop-overthinking.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
Stop overthinking and be practical. If there are any critical or serious issues, point them out. Otherwise, say we are good to proceed. Tell the user the next steps. Answer in short, plain English. Be very concise. Think like a practical entrepreneur would. No more overthinking for today.

How to install
mdr add davidondrej/skills/stop-overthinking@sha256:af2b12af6efd9c4bThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260926.7dce66c, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
