What it does

Should I Quit Or Push is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Get an honest read on whether to quit or keep going on a project, job, hobby, or goal that's become a slog — distinguishing a dip worth pushing through from a dead end worth leaving. Use when asked should I quit this, is it time to give up on, push through or walk away, or I don't know if I should keep going. Produces a diagnosis of whether you're in a temporary dip or a genuine dead end, the sunk-cost and identity traps clouding the call, honest signals pointing each way, and a clear push / pivot / quit…

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: 1255 professional Agent Skills for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor & Codex — PRDs, postmortems, leases, medical bills, layoffs, go-bags, new countries. Plain markdown, MIT, in… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked should I quit this
  • Is it time to give up on
  • I dont know if I should keep going

Example prompts

  • “t know if I should keep going. Produces a diagnosis of whether you”
  • “/should-i-quit-or-push”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Diagnose the slog. A dip improves if you push (skills compound, it's temporary, the goal's still valuable). A dead end doesn't (the…
  2. Expose the traps. Sunk cost ("I can't stop now") and identity ("I don't quit") keep people in dead ends; fear keeps them from good quits…
  3. Read the honest signals. List the real indicators each way — is it hard because it's growing you, or hard because it's wrong?
  4. Separate goal from approach. Sometimes the answer isn't quit or push — it's pivot: keep the goal, change the path.
  5. Recommend and enable. Give a clear call, and either how to quit well (guilt-free, face-saving) or how to re-commit with a renewed plan.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1cbf1f0. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Should I Quit Or Push loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 154 tokens; SKILL.md has 562 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~154
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description
Get an honest read on whether to quit or keep going on a project, job, hobby, or goal that's become a slog — distinguishing a dip worth pushing through from a dead end worth leaving. Use when asked should I quit this, is it time to give up on, push through or walk away, or I don't know if I should keep going. Produces a diagnosis of whether you're in a temporary dip or a genuine dead end, the sunk-cost and identity traps clouding the call, honest signals pointing each way, and a clear push / pivot / quit recommendation — because both quitting too early and quitting too late are expensive.

Should I Quit or Push

Every worthwhile thing has a slog in the middle — a dip where it stops being fun and isn't yet paying off. Push through the dip and you win; but push through a genuine dead end and you waste years. The whole skill is telling them apart, past the sunk-cost fog and the "I'm not a quitter" identity story. This gives an honest read and a real recommendation, not just "follow your heart."

What This Skill Produces

  • Dip or dead end? — the core diagnosis: is this a temporary hard patch that gets better if you push, or a structural dead end that won't?
  • The traps clouding it — sunk cost ("I've put so much in"), identity ("quitting means I failed"), and fear-of-the-unknown, named so they stop distorting the call
  • Signals each way — the honest indicators pointing toward push vs. toward quit
  • The recommendation — push through / pivot (change the approach, not the goal) / quit — with the reasoning
  • A face-saving exit or a re-commitment — depending on the call, how to actually do it

Required Inputs

Ask for these if not provided:

  • The thing — the project, job, hobby, relationship, or goal
  • Why it's hard now — what's making you consider quitting
  • What you've invested — time, money, identity (the sunk-cost pull)
  • The original why — what you wanted from it, and whether that's still live
  • What's on the other side — of both pushing through and quitting

Framework: Dip vs. Dead End

  1. Diagnose the slog. A dip improves if you push (skills compound, it's temporary, the goal's still valuable). A dead end doesn't (the fundamentals are broken, the goal's no longer wanted, no path forward). Determine which.
  2. Expose the traps. Sunk cost ("I can't stop now") and identity ("I don't quit") keep people in dead ends; fear keeps them from good quits. Name what's operating.
  3. Read the honest signals. List the real indicators each way — is it hard because it's growing you, or hard because it's wrong?
  4. Separate goal from approach. Sometimes the answer isn't quit or push — it's pivot: keep the goal, change the path.
  5. Recommend and enable. Give a clear call, and either how to quit well (guilt-free, face-saving) or how to re-commit with a renewed plan.

Output Format

The thing: [project/job/goal] · considering quitting because [x]

Dip or dead end? [temporary dip that improves with pushing / genuine dead end] — because [signals]. Traps clouding this: [sunk cost / identity / fear] — set them aside. Signals to push: [x]. Signals to quit: [y]. Recommendation: [push through / pivot the approach / quit] — because [reasoning]. How to do it: [re-commit plan / a clean, guilt-free exit].

Quality Checks

  • Diagnoses dip vs. dead end explicitly
  • Names the sunk-cost/identity/fear traps at play
  • Lists honest signals both ways
  • Considers pivot, not just binary quit/push
  • Gives a clear recommendation with reasoning
  • Provides a way to actually quit well or re-commit

Anti-Patterns

  • "Never give up" platitudes that trap people in dead ends.
  • "Follow your heart" with no actual diagnosis.
  • Letting sunk cost drive the recommendation.
  • Binary quit/push when pivot is the answer.
  • No clear call.

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "Should I quit my side project? It's become a slog."
  • "Is it time to give up on this business, or push through?"
  • "I don't know if I should keep going with this degree."
  • "Push through or walk away — I can't tell anymore."
  • "Am I quitting too early, or is this genuinely a dead end?"
