goal

goal is a command for coding agents from simonrowland/goal-flight. It costs 9 tokens per session (217 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that adds one compact goal to the active queue, which is the file that records pending coding work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to record a new request with its purpose, scope, expected files, verification command, and suggested execution approach.
Why use it?
It keeps newly requested work attached to the run instead of leaving it only in the conversation, where it could be missed.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

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 4d 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

goal

Append one goal to the active goal queue.

When: during an active goal-flight run (execute, decompose, or ongoing queue), append here whenever the user adds a new request or scope — do not track only in chat. If no queue file exists yet, create docs-private/goal-queue-<topic>-<date>.md using the shape in commands/decompose-plan.md step 3 (Progress table + chunk skeleton).

Required fields:

  • slug
  • intent
  • scope
  • expected files
  • verification command
  • dispatch hint: iteration + comms (e.g. one-shot/acp, goal-mode/acp, goal-mode/bash-tail for codex /goal, or controller-direct when context is held without fleet stall) — see protocols/dispatch-routing.md

Keep the row compact. Detailed execution rules live in protocols/dispatch-routing.md.

Changes

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.
