anti-overthinkinglisted

# Anti Overthinking ## Core principle No costly branch expansion without evidence that it materially changes completion. ## Procedure 1. Stop adding hypotheses. 2. Separate facts, supported inferences, assumptions, and unknowns. 3. Remove branches without evidence or DoD impact. 4. Choose the smallest reversible action or decisive experiment. 5. Run it once and record the result. 6. Implement, change strategy materially, or report the exact blocker. ## Required output Pruned branches, chosen action, evidence gained, and decision. ## Limits At most 2 full replans without major evidence; WIP 1. ## Common mistakes Do not respond to overthinking by writing a larger plan or redesigning the system. ## Stop condition Stop when one evidence-backed action exists or the task is already complete.
