SKILL: reality-check
Purpose
Prevent bad strategic decisions by forcing assumptions into the open, testing them, and ranking feasibility before commitment.
When to Use
- A plan sounds good but may be fragile or unrealistic
- The user is optimistic without evidence
- A decision has meaningful downside risk
Inputs
idea(required): the proposed plan/decisionassumptions(optional): stated assumptions; if missing, Morpheus must extract them
Steps
- List assumptions (explicit + implicit).
- For each assumption:
- define what would make it true/false - define the cheapest test/experiment - define failure impact if wrong
- Identify the weakest links (highest impact × lowest evidence).
- Evaluate feasibility:
- resources/time - constraints/governance - reversibility
- Produce:
- viability score (0–100) - critical flaws - recommendation (proceed / revise / stop)
- Provide the next 1–3 validation steps.
Validation
- Assumptions are explicit and testable.
- Claims are labeled as evidence vs hypothesis.
- Recommendation follows the evidence, not optimism.
Output
viability_score(0–100)critical_flawsrecommendationnext_steps
Safety Rules
- Prioritize truth over optimism.
- No financial guarantees or claims of certainty without evidence.
Example
Idea: “Launch a new token feature in 48h.” Output: viability 35/100; critical flaw: no governance approval + no test coverage; next steps: scope reduction + emergency review + paper validation.
