goal-evaluator

goal-evaluator is a skill for Claude Code from synaptiai/synapti-marketplace. It costs 94 tokens per session (1,400 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A goal-checking workflow that runs defined verification commands, records their evidence, and assigns a result such as complete, incomplete, failed, or blocked.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps evaluate active goals against their acceptance criteria and update their lifecycle status.
Why use it?
It makes automated checks take priority over subjective judgment and exposes goals that lack enough proof.

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-evaluator 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 yesterday.

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.

Goal Evaluator

Contract

Iron law: deterministic checks beat LLM judgment: run every verification_command first and never substitute judge output for a runnable command's exit code. Invoked by /flow:goal evaluate <id> and /flow:debug step 6 (trigger=command), and by hooks/scripts/flow-goal-evaluator.sh in evaluator-loop mode (trigger=stop-hook), with goal id, run id, and trigger. Returns {verdict, confidence, delta, reason, next_step_hint, criterion_results} plus, for terminal outcomes, a proposed_transition; writes evidence sidecars and non-terminal lifecycle updates, never last-verdict.json and never a terminal status. Permitted skips: the judge when no fuzzy criteria remain; the path-boundary check when constraints.allowed_paths is unset.

Inputs

  1. Goal id: .flow/goals/<id>.goal.yaml with status active (or resumable waiting_for_user, waiting_for_ci, blocked).
  2. Run id: for .flow/runs/<run-id>/evidence/; defaults to the goal's scope.run_id.
  3. Trigger: manual | stop-hook | command.

Outputs

  1. Updated goal: AC status (pending → evidence_collected → pass | fail), evidence_ref, last_evaluated_at, last_result; lifecycle.last_evaluation; non-terminal lifecycle.status.
  2. *.evidence.yaml sidecars via bin/flow-record-evidence.sh (the goal-evidence-ledger skill).
  3. A goal-evaluation journal artifact.
  4. The structured verdict, returned to the caller.

Workflow

Step 1: Load

Read the goal, confirm it matches schemas/v1/goal.schema.json, and read existing sidecars for ACs that already carry evidence_ref.

Step 2: Deterministic checks

For each AC with a verification_command: run bash -c "<command>", capture stdout/stderr and the exit code, write a command_result FlowEvidence with proves: [<AC.id>] and limitations (criterion-verification-map's "Does NOT promise" field when present), then update the AC entry (status: evidence_collected, evidence_ref, last_evaluated_at, last_result).

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-evaluator is a skill published in the GitHub repository synaptiai/synapti-marketplace (6 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 94 tokens to every session and 1,400 once invoked, about $0.0005 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 2026-09-03.

debug

Run /debug to find and fix a bug's root cause: a test failing for an unclear reason, /check verify finding a failure, or behavior being wrong. Runs a reproduce, localize, hypothesize, test, fix, verify loop, makes the minimal fix, and hands a regression test to /test. No features, no extra refactors.
