alice-goal

alice-goal is a skill for Codex from Alice-space/alice. It costs 15 tokens per session (2,130 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A session-goal tool that keeps a long-running task active across repeated work sessions. It can create, inspect, pause, resume, delay, or clear a goal.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to keep working toward objectives such as adding tests, while scheduling the next check when waiting for builds, deployments, data, or other external resources.
Why use it?
It prevents a multi-step task from being forgotten between sessions and records whether the agent should continue now or wait for an outside dependency.

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

alice-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 11d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/alice-goal.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Alice Goal

在当前 work session 中设定并自动迭代执行的长期目标。

命令

  • scripts/alice-goal.sh get - 查看当前目标
  • scripts/alice-goal.sh create '{"objective":"为项目补充单元测试","deadline_in":"48h"}' - 创建目标(deadline_in 可选,默认 48h)
  • scripts/alice-goal.sh delay <duration> <reason> - 每一轮对话必须调用,设置下一轮迭代的延迟唤醒时间
  • scripts/alice-goal.sh pause - 暂停
  • scripts/alice-goal.sh resume - 恢复
  • scripts/alice-goal.sh complete - 仅限 audit_completion subagent 调用,Main Agent 在任何情况下都不得直接调用此命令
  • scripts/alice-goal.sh clear - 删除目标

核心机制

自动循环原理

每次 Main Agent(即本次设定 alice-goal 的 Agent)迭代完成后,系统通过 delay 机制调度下一次唤醒。Main Agent 必须在每轮迭代结尾显式调用 alice-goal delay 来声明下一次唤醒时间。不调用 delay 的迭代视为违规。

三个合法出口(每轮迭代必须且只能选择其一):

出口 调用 效果
立即继续 alice-goal delay 0s "继续推进 <具体任务>" 当前有明确工作可做,立即进入下一轮
延迟等待 alice-goal delay 17m "等待 <具体外部资源>" 当前在等待外部资源就绪,延迟后再唤醒检查
目标完成 audit_completion 调用 alice-goal complete 审计确认目标已全部完成

delay 命令详细说明

alice-goal delay <duration> <reason> 设置目标下一次被引擎唤醒的时间。

核心约束:delay 只能用于等待外部资源。

没有需要等待的外部资源(CI、构建、部署、数据文件、API 配额、第三方服务等),就必须用 0s 立即继续推进,或触发僵局重新规划。严禁用正延迟来偷懒或躲避工作。

参数

  • duration(必填):Go duration 格式的相对延迟,类型为字符串
    • 格式:"Ns", "Nm", 可组合如 "1m30s"
    • 范围:"0s"1m ~ 30m(引擎强制校验)
    • "0s" = 立即进入下一轮迭代(当前有明确工作可推进)
    • 最小正延迟为 "1m",最大延迟为 "30m"(不在此范围内的 duration 会被拒绝)
  • reason(必填):用引号括起来的一句话,必须明确写明正在等待的具体外部资源
    • "0s" 时必须说明下一步具体要做什么
    • 正延迟时 必须 写明等待的具体外部资源名称(如 CI pipeline、GitHub PR、构建系统、数据文件路径、API 端点等)

选取延迟的指导

  • 等待 CI/构建/部署完成"7m" ~ "17m"(选 "8m" / "13m" / "17m" 等非整点值)
  • 等待 code review / PR 状态更新"13m" ~ "27m"(选 "13m" / "19m" / "27m" 等非整点值)
  • 等待外部资源就绪(数据文件、权限、API 配额等)"7m" ~ "19m"(选 "8m" / "13m" / "19m" 等)
  • 严禁选取的值
    • 不要选 "5m" "10m" "15m" "20m" "30m" 等整数边界值——选临近的非整点值如 "7m" "13m" "17m" "23m" "28m"
    • 不要选 < 1m 的正值(引擎直接拒绝)
    • 不要选 > 30m 的值(引擎直接拒绝)
  • 严禁以下场景使用正延迟
    • "当前无实质工作可推进" → 触发僵局重新规划,而不是设一个延迟混过去
    • "需要用户确认或输入" → 用户可能不会回复,设正延迟等于空转。此时应设 0s 并明确说明需要用户输入,或暂停目标
    • "审计确认目标已完成" → 必须走 audit_completion → alice-goal complete 流程

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.

alice-goal is a skill published in the GitHub repository Alice-space/alice (5 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 15 tokens to every session and 2,130 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
