reality-check

# /reality-check — are we actually getting there? Strategic drift: busy agents, growing commit count, feature still feels far. This prompt breaks the spell of local productivity. ## Prompt Use the verbatim prompt at `.flywheel/prompts/reality-check.md`. ## What to do with the answer | Answer | Action | | ---------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------- | | "Yes, completing all open beads closes the gap." | Keep going. This was a false alarm. | | "Close, but these specific things are missing…" | Revise existing beads or add new ones for each gap. Polish, resume. | | "No, we'd still be far." → structural issue | Stop the swarm. Back to `/plan` or `/plan-synthesize`. | | "Yes but the plan itself targets the wrong outcome." | Stop. Revisit intent in plan space. | ## How often At natural milestones (epic closed, ~25% of beads done, ~50% done), and any time you feel the urge to ask "wait, are we actually shipping what we set out to?" Busy agents are not the goal. A bead graph that converges on the real outcome is the goal.
