goal-tracker

goal-tracker is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from pantheon-org/tekhne. It costs 101 tokens per session (1,349 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A session-goal tracker that records a goal, its items, dates, status, and supporting evidence in a file.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps answer what remains, what is parked, what is still open, and whether a session goal is actually finished.
Why use it?
It avoids reconstructing progress from memory and prevents work being marked complete without something that verifies 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-tracker 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 5d ago.

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

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 138 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Goal Tracker

Write down the one thing this session is for, keep it honest as work lands, and answer "what's left" without reconstructing it from memory.

Mindset

An unevidenced status is worse than no status. A goal claiming an item is done, with nothing anyone can point at, turns an open question into a false answer and the reader stops checking. Trade convenience for provability everywhere.

Keep trust asymmetric. Close work done inside the repository yourself, since anyone can re-check it. Leave work that left the repository for its owner to close.

When to Use

  • The user states a goal at session start.
  • The project requires a goal for every conversation.
  • The user asks "what's left", "what's outstanding", "are we done".
  • Park an item, promote an overgrown goal, or close one out.

When Not to Use

  • Work a plan file already drives. Track it there.
  • A mechanical request with no end state worth recording.
  • Deferred work that was never part of a goal. Use create-context-file instead.

Core Rules

  1. Keep exactly one goal active per session. Replace the first or fold it in; never run two.
  2. Demand evidence before done. Park unconfirmed outside work at awaiting.
  3. File a follow-up the same turn you park an item, then delete its row.
  4. Record a promoted goal as promoted. Never as completed.

Workflow

Run the clarity test first. Use socratic-method for a goal with no verifiable end state, and guided-interview when its items hinge on an unmade choice. Otherwise draft it:

./scripts/goal.sh new "Rotate the exposed token and unblock Phase 1"

Pass --session <id> (or GOAL_SESSION) when conversations share the repository.

Check the draft with the user. Start work only once they confirm or correct it.

Set goal-status: in-progress on the first item to gain evidence. Write that evidence in the same turn the item closes. Add a dated log line on every change, and save the file in that turn where the next session reads it, such as the main branch. Keep discovered work as a follow-up unless the end state is unreachable without it.

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.

goal-tracker is a skill published in the GitHub repository pantheon-org/tekhne (10 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 101 tokens to every session and 1,349 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-09-15.
