In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prepare a structured prompt for Codex's persistent goal workflow.
Why use it?

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-todo 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 12d 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.

Goal Todo

Overview

This skill turns a vague ambition into a final /goal prompt that is ready to paste and run.

Do not jump straight to writing the final prompt. First reduce ambiguity through structured interaction, then synthesize a durable long-running goal.

By default, the final user-facing deliverable should be the /goal prompt itself, not an explanatory brief.

Core Rule

When this skill is invoked, the default interaction surface should be:

  1. Use request_user_input in the current environment.
  2. If request_user_input is unavailable, tell the user this skill works best with clickable structured choices and ask them to reopen or switch to Plan mode, then retry with request_user_input.
  3. If the user does not switch to Plan mode, fall back to concise plain-text alignment with explicit reply templates.

Do not skip the alignment round. Only the interaction surface may degrade.

Interaction Standard

Ask high-quality structured questions that reduce ambiguity instead of pushing the user into free-form ideation.

Match the user's current language by default. If the user has not established a clear language preference and the distinction matters, ask briefly or choose the language already dominant in the thread.

Each question should:

  • present 2-3 strong options, not a blank request
  • use concrete tradeoffs so the user can choose quickly
  • help align on intent, boundaries, and autonomy level
  • avoid jargon unless the user already introduced it
  • stay concise, but not so short that the options become vague

Prefer two alignment rounds. Use one round only if the user already provided unusually complete requirements.

Entry Workflow

The first goal-todo pass should clarify three axes.

1. Goal Shape

  • Ship a Change (Recommended) The user wants a concrete delivered result such as code, docs, workflow, prompt system, or automation.
  • Research and Decide The user needs evidence, tradeoff analysis, or a decision memo before implementation.
  • Open Exploration The user wants Codex to explore, structure, and progressively narrow a larger ambiguous problem.

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.
