goal-ledger-status

goal-ledger-status is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from jpbaking/goal-ledger. It costs 106 tokens per session (662 once invoked), scanned A, original, 0BSD.

A read-only report for a Goal Ledger, a Git-tracked record of a multi-phase software goal. It summarizes phase progress, handoff details, blockers, review gates, and related Git state without changing the project.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check whether a ledger exists, see which phases are done or blocked, identify the next role and action, review matching goal commits, and inspect dirty or inconsistent repository state.
Why use it?
It provides a current status and handoff view while protecting the ledger, code, commits, and branches from accidental changes. It can also report inconsistencies and validation warnings.

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-ledger-status 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.

What it actually says

Goal Ledger — status and handoff report

This skill is strictly read-only: no status changes, log entries, commits, repairs, branch switches, or cleanup.

Read sections 1–4 of the sibling goal-ledger skill. If .goal-ledger/GOAL.md is absent, say there is no Goal Ledger and stop.

Read GOAL.md and every phase file. When Repository: yes, read the current branch, worktree status, and git log <baseline>..HEAD with trailers. Report:

Run the validator bundled with the sibling goal-ledger skill in read-only mode as scripts/validate_goal_ledger.py --root <project root>. Include its errors and warnings in the report. If Python 3 is unavailable, perform the same read-only checks manually.

Goal: <title> — <goal status>
Goal ID: <id>
Outcome: <outcome>
Mode: <solo | delegated>; planner <tier>; executor <tier>
Strategy: <strategy>; start <starting branch>; work <work branch>
Baseline: <short SHA>
Upstreams at start: start <value>; work <value>         (omit without Git)
Phases: <X> done, <Y> skipped, <Z> needs-human, <W> todo, <V> ongoing
Per phase:
- phase-NNNN <status> — <title> (owner: <owner>, <a>/<b> sub-tasks done)
Handoff: <current position>; next <next role> — <next action>
Review: reviewed by <value>; verification <value>; findings <value>
Goal commits: <N>; tree <clean | DIRTY — possible interrupted work>   (omit without Git)
Needs you:
- <exact blocker>                                      (omit if none)
Warnings:
- <branch mismatch / baseline problem / upstream movement / foreign or merge commit / phase state mismatch / begin without close / published history / done phase with no evidence>   (omit if none)

When the next action is a delegation, also state which phase is ready and whether its file is executor-ready: exact paths in Scope: In, a runnable ## Verify, and no sub-task that still requires a decision. Report gaps as warnings — do not fix them here.

End with one recommendation: delegate the next phase, resume with the goal-ledger-resume skill, run Gate D, review for acceptance, keep the completed record, or use the goal-ledger-abandon skill if the user explicitly wants to stop.

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.
