goal-engineering: Skill for Claude Code

.grok/skills/goal-completion-check/SKILL.md

goal-completion-check is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from cobusgreyling/goal-engineering. It costs 52 tokens per session (211 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A completion checklist for coding-agent goals. It checks the written requirements, verification result, and test record before a goal is marked finished.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before closing an implementation task to confirm that the verifier passed, tests ran, and the GOAL.md checklist is complete.
Why use it?
It prevents work from being marked complete based only on a belief that it should work. Missing checks or unfinished checklist items are surfaced first.

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one.

This is cobusgreyling/goal-engineering's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on goal-engineering 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 goal-engineering 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

goal-completion-check 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 2mo 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 Completion Check

Gate before update_goal(completed: true).

Steps

  1. Read GOAL.md done condition — count unchecked items.
  2. Confirm goal-verifier (or equivalent) returned PASS this session.
  3. Confirm test command was run and output captured in progress log.
  4. If any gap → do not complete; list remaining work and call update_goal(message: ...).
  5. If all clear → call update_goal(completed: true, message: "<summary>").

Never

  • Complete on "should work" or partial test runs.
  • Complete when deny-listed files were modified without human approval.
  • Complete when verifier was skipped.
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.
