reality-verification

This skill should be used when the user asks to "verify a fix", "reproduce failure", "diagnose issue", "check BEFORE/AFTER state", "VF task", "reality check", "check test quality", "mock-only tests", or needs guidance on verifying fixes by reproducing failures before and after implementation, or detecting mock-heavy test anti-patterns.

# Reality Verification

For fix goals: reproduce the failure BEFORE work, verify resolution AFTER.

## Goal Detection

Classify user goals to determine if diagnosis is needed. See `references/goal-detection-patterns.md` for detailed patterns.

**Quick reference:**
- Fix indicators: fix, repair, resolve, debug, patch, broken, failing, error, bug
- Add indicators: add, create, build, implement, new
- Conflict resolution: If both present, treat as Fix
