Delivery Discipline

Use this skill when a task risks turning into endless analysis without completion.

Core lessons

Once the root cause is known, patch immediately before exploring side branches.
Do not treat architecture notes as delivered functionality.
Prefer one working vertical slice over many clever partials.
Verify every claimed milestone before reporting it.
Do not tell the user something is done because one subcomponent exists.

Execution order

identify main deliverable
isolate blockers
patch blocker
test
only then broaden into references, polish, and extra skills

Required reporting discipline

When asked for progress, distinguish clearly:

implemented
integrated
verified once
stable over time
fully ready for handoff

MERGED_FROM_BACKUP: C:\Users\wang.openclaw\skills\ai\delivery-discipline\SKILL.md

name: delivery_discipline description: Avoid slow, research-heavy, half-delivered implementation loops by enforcing execution discipline, verification-first delivery, and immediate root-cause patching. Use when building complex systems where the temptation is to over-research instead of finishing the main line of work.
