Good-Enough Detector

🔵 Stable🕐 updated 2026-08-06 🔷 SkillSpec L3 pm-focus

Tell you when to stop polishing and ship — the point where more effort stops adding real value. Use when asked is this good enough, should I keep working on this, when do I stop, or I keep tweaking this and can't let go. Produces a read on whether the thing already meets its actual bar, the diminishing-returns check (is more effort improving it or just moving it around), what genuinely still needs fixing vs what's perfectionism, and a clear ship / one-more-pass / keep-going verdict — freeing you from polishing things past the point anyone will notice.

🗣 Say this to your agent

“Is this good enough to send, or should I keep working on it?”“I keep tweaking this presentation and can't let go.”“When do I stop polishing this?”“Am I done, or does this still need work?”“Help me ship this — I think I'm just perfectionist-ing now.”

What to give it

The thing — what you're working on (paste it or describe it)
Its purpose and audience — who it's for and what it needs to do (sets the real bar)
How long you've been polishing — a clue to diminishing returns
What you're still tweaking — the changes you keep making

✅ The bar it holds itself to

Every skill in this library self-verifies — these are this skill's own quality checks, straight from its definition.

Defines the real bar for the purpose, not perfection
Checks whether it already clears that bar
Tests for diminishing returns
Separates genuine fixes from perfectionist polish
Gives a clear ship/pass/keep-going verdict
Names the cost of continuing to polish

⚠️ What it refuses to do

**Encouraging more polish** on something already good enough.
**Judging against an imagined perfect** version.
**No clear verdict** — leaving the person still tweaking.
**Ignoring the opportunity cost** of not shipping.
