craft-goal

craft-goal is a skill for Claude Code from boshu2/agentops. It costs 43 tokens per session (2,440 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A tool for writing or checking a persistent goal prompt that guides a series of small, bounded software experiments toward a larger result. RPI means plan, implement, validate, and record the outcome.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to shape a larger coding goal, check whether its instructions are safe, and organize experiments whose findings inform later work.
Why use it?
It helps keep long-running work focused, measurable, and limited to defined experiments instead of allowing open-ended automation.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

    Skill enumerates or reads other installed skills. Access to other skills' SKILL.md files or the skills directory reveals prompt instructions, capabilities, and secrets that should be invisible to peer skills.
    Fix: Remove all code or instructions that list or read other skills' files or directories. Skills should operate independently; cross-skill access is a privilege escalation.

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

craft-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 today.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/validate.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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 206 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Craft Goal

Craft or lint the autonomy contract above AgentOps RPI. A goal is a persistent controller (the Goal / Mayor role) over a bead-shaped experiment graph: each RPI is one scientific trial, and the goal picks the next useful trial, preserves what was learned and ratchets toward a larger outcome.

Goal / Mayor: observe graph → choose bounded wave → consume results → ratchet
  └─ Bead: durable experiment intent, context, scratch, evidence, and links
       └─ RPI: plan → implement → checks → one fresh validate where a mistake is costly → report
            └─ Implementation: one RED → GREEN → refactor experiment

The number of RPIs need not be known in advance. A goal is safe when success is decidable, every experiment is bounded, evidence keeps its provenance, and the authorization envelope cannot silently renew itself. Beliefs are revisable: new evidence may retract an earlier claim. More stored knowledge is neither progress nor proof that knowledge is correct.

Authority boundary. The emitted prompt and safety report are inert caller-owned text. Crafting creates no goal, starts no runtime, mutates no bead and confers no standing authorization. The prompt drives RPI dispatch only when a caller pastes it into their own goal runtime, under their own authority and within the non-renewing envelope they set. Craft Goal reads tracker state when present but needs no tracker installed to compile a prompt.

Modes

Caller wording Mode Result
"craft a goal", "turn this into a goal" craft Decision, then the filled goal prompt and settings when safe.
"lint/review this goal", "is this safe" lint Decision and findings, plus a rewrite when supplied facts permit one.

Admission: decide first

Fuzzy route is acceptable; fuzzy success is not. Before goal creation the caller must know the outcome, what evidence would prove it, non-goals, and authority; the exact experiment graph may still be unknown. Write each terminal criterion as a Given/When/Then with an observable result and name each domain term once; the caller can settle these with Interview first.

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.
