extend-goal

extend-goal is a command for Claude Code from ayoubben18/ab-method. It costs 0 tokens per session (328 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for expanding an existing software goal after earlier work has already been implemented. It updates the original goal and keeps its progress notes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Extending an objective, recording what is already implemented, updating the goal in place, and preserving the existing progress tracker.
Why use it?
It prevents new requirements from discarding completed work or starting an unrelated goal. It clarifies the new measurable outcome and constraints before continuing.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

extend-goal scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 3d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Extend Goal

Description

Extend an existing goal — broaden or add to its objective, building on top of what the earlier /goal run already implemented.

Usage

/extend-goal

Behavior

Loads and executes the extend-goal workflow from .ab-method/core/extend-goal.md

This workflow will:

  1. Identify the goal and read its goal.md + progress-tracker.md, then confirm the real code state
  2. Always invoke grill-with-docs to pin down the extension, a verifiable new measurable end state, updated feedback loops, and new constraints
  3. Update goal.md in place — extended objective, new end state, plus an Already implemented section so the loop builds on existing work
  4. Keep the same progress-tracker.md — its Notes carry forward, never reset

Workflow Details

  • Always grillgrill-with-docs runs on every invocation
  • Update in place — one goal.md per goal; never a second file
  • Build on, do not rebuild — the Already implemented section tells the /goal loop what to keep
  • No checklistprogress-tracker.md is a notes log; the loop runs until the measurable end state holds

Examples

/extend-goal
# Reads the existing goal, grills for the extension,
# rewrites goal.md to target the extended objective

Alternative Usage

/ab-master extend-goal

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
