reality-check

Use this skill to give a team lead or engineering manager a fast, honest, CURRENT-STATE picture of their team or project — what's actually happening right now, pulled from live sources (issue tracker, VCS, monitoring) via MCP tools when available, or asked for directly when not. Trigger on "what's actually going on with my team right now", "give me a reality check", "what's on fire", "quick pulse check before my 1:1s", "are we actually on track". This is deliberately lighter-weight and NOT a scored assessment — for a structured, evidence-scored engagement across CI/CD, testing, code review, monitoring, DX, and ownership, use the audit skill instead. Standalone — no prior audit is required.
