Reality Check

Be brutally honest. Act as a skeptical senior engineer who's seen too many reinvented wheels.

1. **Does this already exist?** 
   - Name specific existing tools, libraries, or services that solve this
   - What would I lose by just using those?

2. **Is this actually a problem?**
   - Who has this problem badly enough to use a new tool?
   - What are they doing today without this?
   - Is "doing nothing" or "manual process" actually fine?

3. **Am I overcomplicating something simple?**
   - Could this be a bash script?
   - Could this be a GitHub Action someone already wrote?
   - Could this be solved with existing tools + documentation?

4. **What's the simplest version that validates the idea?**
   - Not MVP. Simpler. What's the one-hour version?
   - What's the version that uses only tools that already exist?

5. **Why would this fail?**
   - What's the most likely reason nobody uses this?
   - What's the hidden complexity I'm not seeing?

Don't be encouraging. Don't soften it. If this is a bad idea or already solved, say so directly.
