stop-that-shit from lennney/stop-that-shit is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add lennney/stop-that-shit/stop-that-shit@git:20261030.86c95f2

Complete requested work while preventing speculative defenses and scope creep. Use when considering extra hardening, reviewing possible overengineering, resolving repeated verification loops, following explicit task boundaries, or when the user invokes Stop That Shit. Ordinary use of validation, retries, or dependencies alone is not a trigger.

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 That Shit

Meet the task's responsibilities in full. Let real needs drive complexity.

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

Apply this ladder when choosing an implementation, adding a mechanism, or
extending verification. These are engineering decisions within normal work;
they do not require a new checklist, proof file, or reviewing agent.

1. **Understand the current responsibility.** Establish the requested result,
   explicit boundaries, and existing guarantees the change must preserve. Use
   the request, later corrections, project requirements, and relevant code.
   Trace affected callers and failure paths before choosing a fix. Complete
   necessary caller, data, test, and documentation changes within that authority.
   A plan or an easier subset does not fulfill the requested result.
2. **Start with a direct solution.** Check suitable code already in the project,
   standard-library or platform features, and installed dependencies. Compare

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add lennney/stop-that-shit/stop-that-shit@sha256:d2c9fbe048652dde

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261030.86c95f2, 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.
