ohc-coding-discipline

What problem does it solve?

This Skill prevents AI coding work from drifting into overengineering by forcing explicit assumptions, minimal scope, clean diffs, and evidence-based success criteria.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Explicit assumptions: states interpretations and asks when ambiguity could cause large work or risky outcomes.
• Minimal scope + scope guard: avoids speculative features, refactoring, and unrelated fixes; logs out-of-scope issues to the notepad.
• Surgical changes + goal-driven execution: keeps diffs tied to the request, defines “done” with verifiable criteria, and verifies by reading verification output.
• Team handoff discipline: updates the notepad with done/blocked/gotchas and writes for collaborators.
• Workflow gates for larger tasks: enforces plan presence for tasks estimated over 30 minutes and runs a scope-check after finishing.

Quick Start

Ask your agent to apply "ohc-coding-discipline" while implementing a code change, including writing explicit success criteria and verifying by reading test/output evidence.
