Avoid Feature Creep

Every developer has worked on a product where "just one more feature" turned into six months of scope creep. This skill gives you the frameworks to actually say no: a five-point decision checklist before adding anything, scope documents you track in git, the 48-hour rule for feature requests, and specific templates for pushing back on stakeholders. It includes guidelines for working with AI coding assistants, which love suggesting improvements that bloat your MVP. The backlog audit section alone will save you from maintaining a graveyard of ideas nobody will ever build. Treat it as a pre-commit hook for your product decisions.
