Go / No-Go — Stage 0

NO-GO is the default. GO requires evidence.

Most AI coding skills help you build. This one helps you not build.

Half the cost of solo work is starting the wrong thing. Once a repo exists, sunk cost and identity-protection make it hard to quit. So you grind 3–6 months before admitting the start itself was wrong.

go-no-go is the gate before any /spec, /plan, /build. It runs five framework checks (configurable), a memory check against your own past attempts, and a 24-hour cooldown if your enthusiasm is too high. The output is a public commitment doc with pre-mortemed kill criteria. If anything fails, the default is NO-GO.

It is a deliberately stronger instrument than a generic intent-extraction interview: it stores memory, fails by default, requires structural overrides, and produces a dated artifact you publish.
