    AI agent skill that teaches "question → delete → simplify → accelerate → automate" before acting. Works with Claude Code, OpenClaw, Codex, Cursor, and more.

    Five-Step Work Method

    npm version npm downloads License: MIT GitHub stars

    If this skill helps your AI agents make better decisions, give it a ⭐ on GitHub — every star helps another team avoid over-engineering and scope creep.

    An engineering decision framework for AI coding agents, based on Elon Musk's five-step methodology. Battle-tested through a real production deployment cycle.

    What It Does

    Teaches AI agents to evaluate requirements before acting — whether writing code, making product decisions, planning strategy, or designing processes. Prevents the most common failure: solving problems that don't exist, or solving real problems with unnecessary complexity.

    The Five Steps

    1. Question — Is this actually needed?
    2. Delete — Remove what shouldn't exist
    3. Simplify — Find the minimum reliable solution
    4. Accelerate — Speed up what remains
    5. Automate — Only automate validated processes

    Most decisions end at Step 3.

    Install

    Quick install (recommended) — one command

    Auto-detects which AI agents you have and installs the skill into the right place. No clone, no manual file copying.
