description	Audit whether the current *task* is actually solvable as specified — restates the ask, lists what's been tried, and asks whether the spec/test/fixture itself might be wrong. Use after several attempts have failed in a row, or when tempted to weaken assertions / narrow scope to make progress. This audits the *task*; for a quick audit of the model's own state before a single action, use /functional-emotions:check instead.
argument-hint	<optional: what you're stuck on>

Pause whatever loop you're in. Answer these in order, briefly:

1. What did the user actually ask for? Restate it in one sentence.
2. What have you tried, and what failed? List up to five attempts.
3. Is the task solvable as specified? Possible answers:
   • Yes, and the right next step is <X>.
   • No, because <Y> — and the honest response is to tell the user.
   • Unclear — and the right next step is to ask <Z>.
4. Are you tempted to do any of the following? If yes, stop and report instead:
   • Modify a test or spec to make a failure go away.
   • Hardcode a value that "should" be computed.
   • Add || true, pytest.skip, expect.fail removal, or similar bypass.
   • Bypass a hook (--no-verify, HUSKY=0, signing skip).
   • Narrow the task scope without telling the user.

If any of those (4) is true: revert the temptation, and surface the underlying failure to the user in plain language. That is the desired outcome here, not "tests green".
