sk-create-goal

sk-create-goal is a skill for Claude Code from MichelKerkmeester/skilled-agent-harness_spec-driven-loops. It costs 25 tokens per session (2,854 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of sk-create-goal, MIT.

A goal-file authoring skill for an existing specification packet. It creates or revises goal.md files for top-level goals, phases, and nested phase goals while leaving session state with its existing owners.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to add or revise a packet goal, add a goal for a new phase, reduce an over-budget goal, or prepare a goal for a session objective.
Why use it?
It gives project goals a consistent structure and helps keep phase goals tied to their parent plan. It is not intended to create the packet or establish its phase structure.

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

sk-create-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 16d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

Create Packet Goals

sk-create-goal authors goal.md content for an existing spec packet. It fills per-kind templates that are checked copies of the system-spec-kit goal template and keeps runtime goal state with its existing owners.


1. WHEN TO USE

Activation Triggers

Use this packet to:

  • Author or revise a top-level goal or phase-parent goal.
  • Author or revise a nested phase-child goal.
  • Add goal.md to an existing packet that has no goal.
  • Add a binding row and matching child goal when someone adds a phase.
  • Cut an over-budget parent goal without dropping a completion criterion.
  • Print a parent goal's chat slice for the operator to set or resend.
  • Handle a request that enters through /create:goal.

Keyword triggers: create packet goal, author goal.md, revise packet goal, phase parent goal, nested phase child goal, add a goal file, goal chat slice, /create:goal.

When NOT to Use

  • The target packet does not exist. Use system-spec-kit to create it first.
  • The packet's phase structure is not established. Use system-spec-kit to plan the phases first.
  • The request is to set, bind, inject or resend a session objective. Redirect it to the goal hooks or the host's native goal command.
  • The request changes runtime goal behavior or system-spec-kit template tooling. Those owners remain outside this packet.

This packet authors files only. Its goal-file work does not change session state.


2. SMART ROUTING

Run these four decisions before writing:

  1. File content or session state? A request to author or revise a packet's goal.md is file work. A request to set, bind, inject or resend a session objective belongs to the goal hooks or the host's native goal command. Redirect session-state requests without editing a packet goal.
  2. Does the packet exist? What role does it have? Confirm the target directory exists. A nested phase child has a parent directory containing spec.md. A packet with direct phase-child directories is the phase parent. Otherwise, treat it as a top-level packet. If the packet is missing, route packet creation to system-spec-kit first.
  3. Does goal.md exist? Revise an existing goal. Add one to an existing packet that has none. Do not treat a missing packet as a goal-file request.
  4. Does a child change alter a parent decision or criterion? If it does, amend the parent first. Then print the updated parent chat slice for the operator to resend. Do not let a child goal override a parent decision.

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.
