Fine to try. Some of what it can do is expected: a coding skill usually runs build and test commands.

Judges, on evidence, whether one named artifact (a file, doc section, dependency, component) had and still has a reason to exist, or whether a proposal (a plan step, design option, or mechanism to add) is needed at all. Read-only. Use when the user asks whether a thing needs to exist or still earns its keep, or of a proposal whether it is overengineered, whether we need X, or whether there is a simpler way. Not for the enforcement surface (overengineering:audit).

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

What this skill can do

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'justify' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'justify' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named justify already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/melodic-software/claude-code-plugins' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '677e7988f432dacb5e2d4df2b124f96da8e8f9f3' -- 'plugins/overengineering/skills/justify' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'plugins/overengineering/skills/justify' ~/.agents/skills/'justify' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'justify' ~/.claude/skills/'justify' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
