Action Bias

Quality score: 70/100 · Category: General · Sub-category: general-misc

Am I *doing* or just *describing* that I should do?" - Counters documentation-over-action patterns. Triggers when: (1) about to say "should create", "need to fix", "I recommend" instead of acting, (2) end of work blocks before reporting completion, (3) reporting success while failures exist, (4) creating docs/plans without executing, (5) explaining fixes instead of implementing. Enforces ACT FIRST, DOCUMENT AFTER. Does NOT trigger for: genuine planning phases, user-requested documentation, or blocked situations requiring input.
