Action Bias — Make Agents Do, Not Plan

Agents default to planning. They'll write beautiful strategy docs, propose campaigns, outline approaches, and suggest next steps — all while producing zero external output. This skill fixes that.

The Core Problem

AI agents are trained on text that describes work, not text that does work. Left unconstrained, they'll:

• Write "I recommend we post on Reddit" instead of posting on Reddit
• Produce a "Social Media Strategy 2026" doc instead of tweeting
• "Research competitors" for 10 minutes and output a report instead of using findings to take action
• Say "we should follow up with leads" instead of sending the email

The result: agents that feel productive while nothing actually ships.

The Fix: Three Rules

Rule 1: Mandate External Output

Every agent session must produce at least one externally visible action. Internal files don't count.
