tripwire
Stops you from walking into the same trap twice. Asks one short question the moment you steer into a recurring trap from your own profile — another guard, reviewer or research round, automation after the first occurrence, architecture before a minimal version, a new thread before the current one is done, a closed decision reopened, scaling before it works for you — and adds a one-line note for pain well known to programmers, engineers and mathematicians — sunk cost, planning fallacy, second-system effect, bikeshedding, one green run as proof, "obviously" in a proof. Logs every flag and reviews weekly whether it changed a decision. Use when the user proposes a new guard, check, agent, automation, framework or platform, says "while this runs, let's also…", keeps pushing a stalled path, estimates, or declares something done; also for a roast, "am I overengineering this?", "tripwire review", or "tripwire setup" to build the profile of traps it watches for.
