Reality Check — Anti-Sycophancy Idea Validator

A Claude Code plugin that pressure-tests your idea instead of praising it.

Sole authorJune 2026DevTools

An npm-packaged Claude Code plugin (@mrinallsamal-byte/reality-check) that turns AI coding assistants from yes-men into honest critics: market scan, failure-mode analysis, and a structured verdict before you build. Ships as a plugin with skills and hooks.

// problem

AI assistants are sycophantic — they validate every idea, so builders waste weeks on things an honest critic would have killed in an hour.

// impact

Plugs into Claude Code as a skill/hook pack: pressure-tests assumptions, scans the market for existing solutions, lists failure modes, and returns a structured go/no-go verdict. Versioned and distributed as an npm-scoped package.
