goalify: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

goalify AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from Aboudjem/goalify. It costs 2,034 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

An instruction file for agents working on goalify, a skill that turns a large coding task into an implementation brief and a completion condition. The brief is used by a later session to carry out and verify the work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when an agent is working on the goalify repository or invoking its workflow to research a task, ask necessary questions, create the brief, and define how completion will be checked.
Why use it?
It gives coding agents the project background and rules they need before using or changing the repository. This helps separate planning from implementation while preserving the important decisions.

Instructions file for CodexOpenCode

Written for Codex and OpenCode: the file is AGENTS.md. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions subagents; mentions Claude Code.

This is Aboudjem/goalify's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on goalify itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything goalify configures →

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

goalify AGENTS.md 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 1mo 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.

AGENTS.md — goalify

Instructions for AI agents and coding assistants working in or invoking this repository. Plain Markdown, no required fields (per the AGENTS.md convention: the agent parses the text below). Human-facing docs live in README.md; this file holds the extra context an agent needs.

What this repo is

This repo is goalify, a Claude Code / Agent Skills skill that turns a big coding task into a self-contained implementation brief plus the /goal completion condition derived from it. In one session it researches the task, locks the few real decisions (asking the user only the genuine forks, one interactive MCQ batch), and authors two artifacts: a self-contained implementation brief at an absolute path, and the condition string derived from that brief's definition of done. The user then runs /clear and pastes the condition into /goal, so a fresh session executes the big task at full context, proves every criterion in a closeout turn, and archives the brief on success.

The repo is the skill at skills/goalify/SKILL.md, the /goalify author. goalify stays a skill plugin: no MCP server, no standalone CLI, no runtime dependency, no network call. Its one executable file, skills/goalify/scripts/condition_lint.py, is a standard-library helper the skill may run over a condition before it prints the handoff. It is not a command users install and it changes nothing about the output, which is still the brief plus the condition. /goal takes a condition string, never a file path — the docs say "Run /goal followed by the condition you want satisfied" and the shipped binary contains No goal set. Usage: /goal <condition> with no file-path branch. The evaluator behind /goal has no tools and cannot read files, so a path handed to it can never be verified (Claude Code 2.1.139+, https://code.claude.com/docs/en/goal).

How an agent should invoke / honor the skill

  • If running inside Claude Code with the skill installed: trigger it by describing the user's intent, e.g. "goalify this: ", "prep a goal", "make the brief for /goal", "set up an autonomous run to launch later". Claude Code matches these to the skill's description and loads SKILL.md.
  • Install: the plugin (claude plugin marketplace add Aboudjem/10x then claude plugin install goalify@10x), or drop in manually: git clone https://github.com/Aboudjem/goalify, then copy skills/goalify into ~/.claude/skills/. The runner is Claude Code's built-in /goal; goalify does not ship its own.
  • This skill AUTHORS a handoff file; it does not execute the task. If the user wants the work done immediately in the current session, that is autopilot / ultrawork / ralph, not goalify.

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.
