goal-flight

goal-flight is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from simonrowland/goal-flight. It costs 39 tokens per session (10,191 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for managing long-running coding projects from planning through review, recovery, and resuming work from saved files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan repository changes, assign work, track progress, review results, recover from interruptions, and continue later.
Why use it?
It keeps work organized across multiple sessions and helps prevent lost context or unclear next steps.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for Claude Code and Codex: disable-model-invocation in frontmatter, but also runs codex exec. Also seen: mentions subagents; mentions Claude Code; mentions AGENTS.md.

Not installable: its command points at a path on the author’s own machine, so it runs nowhere else. The line is /home/box/agent-data/workflows/goal-flight/SKILL.md.

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-flight 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 today.

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 — 627 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

⚠️ Read this skill end-to-end, including Worker Routing, State, and Context Discipline before acting; also read Do Not. The back half carries routing, state, marker, rate-limit, permission, and safety contracts.

Frontier-tier controllers: this core is complete; proceed on it alone. Other controllers — and any controller that catches itself about to violate a rule it just read — load protocols/guidance-extended.md before continuing. That file elaborates only (worked examples, expanded rationale); every rule and fact lives in this core, and any rule found only there must be moved back here.

This checked-in SKILL.md is compiled from docs/controller-behaviours.md and is the Claude Code-compatible wrapper for the portable core; keep front matter and allowed-tools compatible until generated wrappers own host bindings, tool names, invocation details, and packaging.

Activation Check

Is goal-flight active in this project? Run python3 <skill-root>/scripts/goalflight_session_status.py --text before auto-loading the rest of this skill. Verdict "no active goal-flight session" → you are NOT in a goal-flight run; do regular coding without loading the back half. Load end-to-end only when the verdict is "active" or the user explicitly invokes /goal-flight <command>.

<skill-root> = this repo when working in goal-flight itself; for downstream projects it is the installed skill checkout (see per-host pointers) — resolve it before running scripts.

Skill-freshness + designated-controller check. If a previous-invocation reminder exists but you can't quote this preamble verbatim, reload via State's canonical resume order before acting; then compare scripts/goalflight_session_status.py --ensure-session with the active queue's current_session.id: match → you are the designated orchestrator; mismatch → surface to the user before claiming. Extended: protocols/guidance-extended.md §activation-check

Per-host pointers

Per-host pointers tell non-native orchestrators where their installed wrapper lives. If you are a non-Claude orchestrator (codex, grok, grok-bot, cursor, opencode), load your host wrapper first, then root SKILL.md as canonical workflow:

goal-flight is a skill published in the GitHub repository simonrowland/goal-flight (20 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 39 tokens to every session and 10,191 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
