Check whether a claimed shipped feature, repo state or goal status holds up in evidence. Use when: comparing a claim with what exists; a gap report is not a verdict.

# Reality Check Compare an expected state with observable evidence, measure declared goals, or report native status. Select the requested question; a snapshot needs no invented completion claim. Return facts and gaps without selecting work. ## Claim comparison 1. Read the exact claim and its source. For a completion claim, enumerate every stated goal, including work that was never started. Give each a disposition: confirmed with evidence, concrete gap or unverifiable. 2. Inspect relevant files, command outcomes and artifacts. Separate confirmed behavior, concrete gaps, incomplete evidence and changed assumptions. Name the missing evidence instead of resolving an untestable claim by assertion. 3. Compare proposed scope with the original goal when asked about a plan. Report additions that lack authority as scope escalation; the report cannot approve them. Repeated measurements use the same question and criteria; a changed question starts a different comparison. 4. Return the cited findings with checked and not-checked scope. Keep native tracker, Git, runtime, deterministic checks and semantic judgments distinct. A quick answer can be inline. A selected durable gap report retains `reality-check-report.v1`: write `reality-check-report.json` under the caller's chosen destination, default `.agents/scratch/reality-check/<run-id>/`, and run `skills/reality-check/scripts/validate-output.sh <report.json>`. Include the checked claim, evidence-backed finding k...

reality-check

Re-derive a contested or pushed-back claim in isolation from the definitions, to catch sycophantic capitulation. Use when a result is disputed or an answer may have changed only because the user pushed back.

reality-check

Use whenever someone hands you an AI-generated technical plan, recommendation set, setup guide, or tool/config list and says "validate this", "fact-check this", "is this real", "is this accurate", "did it hallucinate", "sanity-check this", "pressure-test this", "is this overkill", or asks whether a plan is feasible and worth doing. Trigger hardest when the content reads as machine-written and is dense with checkable specifics that could be fabricated — repo URLs, CLI flags, file paths, versions, env vars, named "best-practice" patterns, time estimates. The job: pressure-test the thing for hallucinations, factual errors, and unnecessary complexity, then verify every surviving claim against live sources before the user acts on it. Do NOT trigger for a bare dependency question — whether a specific package is real, alive, and maintained is leftpad's registry rung, so "should we add this package" or "is this crate abandoned" goes there. This VERIFIES an existing plan's accuracy and practical value, not choosing be
