Reality Check

Quick documentation vs code reality validation. Use when this capability is needed.

tomevault-io Updated

File contents

@reality-check

Quick validation that docs match code before making changes. ~90 seconds (vs 5-10 min for @verify-workstream).

When to Use

  • About to modify file based on documentation
  • Unsure if docs reflect implementation
  • Quick check before full verify-workstream

Workflow

  1. Read actual code first — Don't read docs first. Use Read tool on target file.
  2. Compare — What does code actually do vs what we assumed?
  3. Report — Match? Proceed. Mismatch? Stop or adapt.

Output Format

## Reality Check: <filename>
### What Code Actually Does: [summary]
### What We Assumed: [expectation]
### Recommendation: ✅ Proceed / ⚠️ Stop / 🔄 Adapt
