Problem Reality Check

Use this skill to run a Problem Reality Check: route to exactly one Research Question Card, interrogate whether that card's problem is real and defensible, identify unsafe motivation claims, and write a Problem Reality Check Report with a fixed Problem Reality Verdict.

This skill checks the problem motivation. It does not critique the full method, design the experiment, or collect new papers by default.

Output Root

Set {workspace-root} before creating, scanning, or updating artifacts:

• Default {workspace-root} to workspace (the repo-local workspace/ directory).
• If the user specifies a workspace root, use that path exactly and do not add another workspace/ layer.
• If the user provides an existing artifact or workflow path, infer {workspace-root} from that path and keep related artifacts under the same root.
• Do not create new generated workflow directories directly at the repository root. If the user points to an existing root-level legacy workspace, inspect or update only that existing path.
