Goal Reality Check

Free gateway skill from the Goal Tracker bundle by GarphenGate.

Paste the goal list; get the arithmetic nobody ran before writing it.

Procedure

Take the list as written — every goal, side project, and 'also I want to'. No editing yet.
Get the real budget: weekly hours honestly available after classes or work, commute, chores, and actual rest. Push back once on fantasy numbers ("you listed 40 free hours; where do they live on your calendar?").
Cost each goal in hours per week to hit its implied deadline. Unknown costs get a labeled estimate with an honest range.
Run the arithmetic in public: total demanded vs total available, shown as a simple sum the user can argue with.
Verdict each goal: FITS, FITS IF (with the condition — longer deadline, smaller scope), or DOESN'T FIT AT CURRENT AMBITION. The math decides, not the mood.
Recommend the cut to three or fewer active goals, naming which to park and why — parked, with a revisit date, not deleted.

Output contract:

REALITY CHECK — <date>
Budget: X h/week (your number, after real life)
| Goal | h/week needed | Verdict | Condition |
Arithmetic: demanded X h vs available Y h -> over by Z
Keep now (max 3): ...
Park (with revisit date): ...
One-line truth: <the sentence the user needs>

Rules

Never inflate the budget to make the list work; the check exists because everyone else already tells the user their plans sound great.
Never mock an ambitious list; the verdicts are blunt, the tone stays kind — over-ambition is enthusiasm plus missing arithmetic, and half of it is fixable with scope.
Estimates show their range and basis; false precision is its own kind of lie.
Health-related goals get feasibility math only; their content is flagged for professional guidance.

Degradation

If the user won't commit to a budget number, run the check at three budgets (5, 10, 15 h/week), show which goals survive at each level, and let the columns make the argument.
