Developer runs a 'reality-check' Claude Code skill on every new frontier model to audit his half-finished projects
doodlestein · x · 2026-09-02
Developer doodlestein runs his /reality-check-for-project skill — fed to Claude Code with a prompt telling it to read all project files — against his in-progress projects every time a new frontier model (like 'Fable 5.1') ships. The result: an independent audit he likens to hiring a second reviewer, surfacing uncomfortable truths such as letting free MiniMax M3 and Gemini 3.7 Flash run wild on his PhageExplorer project being a bad call. New models now also generate HTML report artifacts that are easier to read and share. He's applying it across his 'Franken' projects (FrankenRedis, FrankenPandas, FrankenSciPy) to get them back on track; the skill is sold on his paid skills site.
