> 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.
