| name | reality-check |
| description | Break the spell of local productivity. Ask whether completing all open beads actually closes the gap to the project goal. Use at milestones or when busy agents feel directionally off. |
Use the verbatim prompt at .flywheel/prompts/reality-check.md.
Run at natural milestones (epic closed, ~25% and ~50% of beads done)
and any time the swarm feels busy-but-off.
Actions based on the answer:
- "Yes, all open beads close the gap." → keep going.
- "Close, but X and Y are missing." → revise/add beads. Polish.
- "No, still far." → back to
plan or plan-synthesize.
- "Yes but the plan targets the wrong outcome." → revisit intent.
