Perfectionism disguises itself as diligence, but past a point, more effort just moves things around without making them better — and the cost is everything else you're not doing. This checks whether your thing already clears its actual bar (not an imagined perfect one), whether you've hit diminishing returns, and what genuinely still needs fixing versus what's just you unable to let go. Then it tells you: ship, one more pass, or keep going.
Good Enough Detector is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the general-misc sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/good-enough-detector/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
When to invoke it: Use when asked is this good enough, should I keep working on this, when do I stop, or I keep tweaking this and can't let go. Produces a read on whether the thing already meets its actual bar, the diminishing-returns check (is more effort improving it or just moving it around), what genuinely still needs fixing vs what's perfectionism, and a clear ship / one-more-pass / keep-going verdict — freeing you from polishing things past the point anyone will notice.
The Good Enough Detector Claude Code skill is built for Claude Code users and developers across all disciplines looking for general-purpose AI assistance. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 196,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).
