create-goals

create-goals is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from tomzx/agents. It costs 23 tokens per session (1,229 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A project-planning document that states what the project aims to achieve, how success will be measured, and which performance indicators will be tracked.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to define objectives, measurable key results, and ongoing KPIs, then compare proposed features with those goals.
Why use it?
It gives feature decisions a shared direction instead of treating every request as equally important. It also makes it possible to check whether planned work supports the project’s purpose.

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

create-goals 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 3d 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.

Create Goals

Defines the project's objectives, key results, and ongoing KPIs as a single context-level artifact.

Other skills, especially create-needs-assessment, check proposed features against these goals for strategic alignment. Without stated goals, prioritization is ad hoc: every feature feels equally important, and there is no way to tell whether a need advances the project or is tangential.

Prerequisites

  • Apply the shared SDLC conventions in skills/sdlc/references/shared.md.
  • .sdlc/context/project-overview.md (must exist, for purpose, scope, and stakeholders).
  • .sdlc/context/goals.md (optional; if present, revise rather than replace, per Revision Mode below).
  • Existing features under .sdlc/features/ (optional, to backfill the alignment table).

Steps

  1. Read .sdlc/context/project-overview.md for purpose, scope, and stakeholders.
  2. Confirm the time horizon and period type (quarter, half, year) with the user if not already stated.
  3. For each objective, write a qualitative statement of what the project wants to achieve this period.
  4. Under each objective, define two to five key results: measurable targets with a clear measurement method.
  5. Distinguish key results (time-bound, period-scoped targets) from KPIs (ongoing indicators the project watches continuously).
  6. Name an owner for each objective.
  7. List explicit non-goals to prevent scope creep.
  8. Populate the alignment table: map existing features and planned initiatives to the objective they advance.
  9. Write the output to .sdlc/context/goals.md. If it already exists, revise per Revision Mode.

Output Format

Use the template at skills/sdlc/templates/context/goals.md. Write the result to .sdlc/context/goals.md.

Revision Mode

If .sdlc/context/review-goals.md exists with verdict: changes-requested, revise the existing .sdlc/context/goals.md to address each finding rather than regenerating from scratch. Preserve content the review did not challenge.

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.

create-goals is a skill published in the GitHub repository tomzx/agents (5 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 23 tokens to every session and 1,229 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-08-31.
