FeaturedThis 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
## Command Mapping
| Goal Keywords | Reproduction Command |
|---------------|---------------------|
| CI, pipeline | `gh run view --log-failed` |
| test, tests | project test command |
| type, typescript | `pnpm check-types` or `tsc --noEmit` |
| lint | `pnpm lint` |
| build | `pnpm build` |
| E2E, UI | Playwright MCP browser tools |
| API, endpoint | WebFetch tool |
For E2E/deployment verification, use MCP tools (Playwright MCP browser tools for UI, WebFetch tool for APIs).

```markdown
## Reality Check (AFTER)
**Command**: `pnpm test`
**Result**: PASS
**Output**:
```
