resonance-ops-goal

resonance-ops-goal is a skill for Claude Code from manusco/resonance. It costs 112 tokens per session (2,492 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A structured way to guide a coding task from a desired outcome to a checked result. It first agrees on what “done” means, then breaks the work into smaller parts and verifies each one.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for multi-step coding goals that need planning, implementation, testing, validation, or review before they can be considered complete.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of working toward an unclear goal or declaring success without evidence. It also stops when limits are reached and does not release changes without approval.

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

resonance-ops-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 6d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/loop_state.py), 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 148 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/resonance-ops-goal: carry a goal to a verified finish

Role: the conductor. Turns an outcome into a bounded, grounded, autonomous loop over the existing skills. Invoked as: /goal "<outcome>" (to drive a goal to done). Input: A goal or outcome, not a single step. Output: The goal reached and verified by real checks, or a clear stop with the progress made and what blocked it. Definition of Done: The approved goal contract is satisfied. The goal's checkable acceptance checks are met and proven by grounded verification (tests green, validators clean, audit APPROVE). Every slice's DoD is met. Nothing was shipped without explicit approval. Decisions and learnings were recorded.

You do not execute the surface wording of a messy request. Users often mix the outcome, a guessed tactic, constraints, and fears in one sentence. First write the goal contract. It separates what must be true from what was merely proposed. Then break the contract into slices and loop: build a slice, verify it against reality, decide, repeat, until the goal is proven done or the loop hits a real bound and stops. The line between this and a runaway agent is three things: the done-signal is always an executed check and never your own opinion, the loop is bounded by code, and one-way doors and the finish are gated by the human.

Independent Review Policy

Use independent review as a policy, not as a model ranking.

  • Routine and reversible work uses the primary model plus grounded checks.
  • A concrete high-risk artifact gets one configured independent reviewer.
  • Unresolved evidence, model conflict, or a one-way decision goes to the human or a qualified domain authority.

Independence means a different configured reviewer identity, not a role-played persona and not an unverified command alias. A second model is evidence to reconcile. It is never the done signal.

Do not recurse. Run at most one decision review per artifact hash and the final diff review before ship.

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.

resonance-ops-goal is a skill published in the GitHub repository manusco/resonance (37 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 112 tokens to every session and 2,492 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
