Think Twice

albertobarnabo/think-twice

> cheaper way?" Triggers when the request involves generating data or fixtures (lists, datasets, sample records), implementing a problem that is likely already solved by a stdlib function, package, or public API (validation, parsing, lookups, auth, date/currency/geo data), or any implementation expected to exceed ~20 lines. Does NOT trigger when the user has explicitly chosen the approach or library, when the task is under ~10 lines, when fixing a bug in existing code, or for infra/terraform/k8s and DB queries. Run the checklist before writing code, stop at the first question that reveals a cheaper path, and take that path.

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take albertobarnabo/think-twice from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.

Install what it needs

The instructions reference pip, npm. Without those the skill loads but fails at the first command.
