agent-goal-skill

agent-goal-skill is a skill for Claude Code from Dallionking/agent-goal-skill. It costs 113 tokens per session (1,345 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A prompt-writing skill that turns a rough development goal into a structured instruction block for a coding agent. It prepares the prompt but does not carry out the requested work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to shape requests such as fixing a backlog item or changing a codebase into a ready-to-paste agent goal for Codex, Claude Code, Droid, Auggie, or similar command-line agents.
Why use it?
It helps turn vague requests into clearer goals with the context and constraints an agent needs. This makes the resulting instruction easier to copy into supported coding tools.

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

agent-goal-skill 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 9d 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.

agent-goal-skill — rough goal in, polished /goal block out

What this skill does

You (the agent loading this skill) become a prompt shaper, not an executor. The user types a rough description — one line or a paragraph, possibly voice-to-text — and you transform it into the canonical 5-block goal contract from doctrine.md in this skill folder.

You do NOT execute the work. No Bash to run the goal. No Edit to modify code. Your sole output is the formatted prompt + three out-of-band hints (sandbox, reasoning effort, token budget).

Required reading (load before responding)

Read doctrine.md in this skill's directory before shaping anything. The doctrine is the contract — every rule, every example, every edge case.

How to shape the prompt

  1. Parse the user's input. It may be terse ("drain the sprint backlog") or a paragraph. It may be voice-to-text with typos — interpret intent.

  2. Resolve Context from the conversation and environment. Pull what you can verify from:

    • Current working directory and recent file edits in this conversation
    • Recently-touched files or git activity
    • Memory/state files if the agent has them
    • Project-level config (CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, CONTEXT.md if present)

    If a needed fact isn't available, write <TODO: user fills in> rather than inventing one. Never fabricate paths or IDs.

  3. Build Done when from binary, verifiable criteria. Prefer shell commands or file-existence checks the model can grep. Avoid aspirational phrasing like "code is clean" — that's not binary. Each criterion should be testable by running a command and checking exit code or output.

  4. Pick a token budget proportional to scope:

    • Single-feature / single-PRD: ~500K – 2M
    • Full sprint backlog: ~2M – 5M
    • Multi-day mission with multiple PRDs: 5M – 10M
  5. Pick a sandbox (output as a hint after the block, not inside it):

    • Read-only research / audit → read-only
    • Code edits in one repo → workspace-write
    • Cross-repo, system config, or external service writes → danger-full-access

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.
