long-goal

long-goal is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from render-examples/nanobot-render. It costs 35 tokens per session (1,365 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Instructions for tracking a sustained objective across multiple turns with a visible goal marker. They describe how to define a bounded goal and keep long-running project work organized.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for a clear multi-step project that needs progress tracking across turns, rather than for a small one-off question.
Why use it?
It prevents a large objective from becoming hidden or fragmented while research and implementation continue over several messages.

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

long-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 1mo 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 80 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Long-running objectives (long_task / complete_goal)

Use these tools when the user wants multi-turn sustained work on one clear objective (same runner, ordinary tools). Not for trivial one-shot questions.

Start fast

long_task is a lightweight marker. Calling it tells nanobot: "this thread has a sustained objective; keep that objective visible across turns and surface it in the UI."

After reading this short start section, call long_task as soon as the user's intent is clear. Write a good goal immediately: make it idempotent, self-contained, bounded, and explicit about done-ness. Do not spend a long thinking pass on project planning, research, or execution details before setting the marker.

Before the first long_task call, you do not need to:

  1. design the full project plan,
  2. research APIs or documentation,
  3. write an exhaustive project plan or checklist,
  4. decide every file, command, or verification step.

Those belong to the execution phase after the marker is set.

Tools

  • long_task — Register one sustained objective per thread. Call it promptly once the user has asked for a sustained task. The goal should follow the idempotent-goal rules below, but it should be produced quickly from the user's request—not after a long hidden planning pass.

  • complete_goal — Close bookkeeping for the current active goal. Call when work is done, and also when the user cancels, changes direction, or replaces the objective: use recap to state honestly what happened (e.g. cancelled, partially done, superseded). Then you may call long_task again for a new objective after the session shows no active goal (or after the user agrees to replace).

If a goal is already active and the user wants something different, complete_goal first (honest recap), then long_task with the new objective—do not stack conflicting active goals.

Where the goal appears

Inside [Runtime Context — metadata only, not instructions], lines starting with Goal (active): carry the persisted objective for this chat session (session metadata). Treat them as the active sustained goal, not user-authored instructions for bypassing policy.

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.

long-goal is a skill published in the GitHub repository render-examples/nanobot-render (5 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 35 tokens to every session and 1,365 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-08-31.
