modify-milestone-goal

modify-milestone-goal is a skill for Claude Code from uHappyLogic/cairn. It costs 37 tokens per session (923 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool for changing the stated objective of an active milestone in its requirements document. A milestone is a defined piece of a larger project.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to broaden, narrow, correct, or otherwise reshape an existing milestone's goal.
Why use it?
It records when the project goal itself changes, instead of confusing that change with an ordinary open question or task. It also highlights later work that the new goal may affect.

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

modify-milestone-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 4d 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 — 75 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

modify-milestone-goal

Replaces the ## Goal of the current milestone's requirements.md with a revised goal statement, then surfaces what the change may have invalidated downstream — leaving those follow-up edits to the user. It is the only skill that edits the Goal of an already-defined milestone.

Usage

/modify-milestone-goal <new or revised goal text>
  • <new or revised goal text>: either a complete replacement goal statement, or a described change to fold into the existing one (e.g. "also cover a quick-reference section"). If it is a delta, integrate it against the current Goal rather than discarding what is still true.

Example:

/modify-milestone-goal Broaden the getting-started guide to walk a new user through their first week, not only their first session.

Workflow

0. Find the current milestone

Follow .agents/plugins/cairn/shared/get-current-milestone.md to resolve <MILESTONE_DIR>. Never use a hardcoded path.

1. Read the current Goal

Read <MILESTONE_DIR>/requirements.md and locate the ## Goal section. Show the user the current goal text so the change is reviewable against what it replaces.

2. Determine the revised Goal

From the argument, settle on the new Goal prose:

  • If the argument is a full replacement, use it (lightly cleaned for clarity).
  • If it is a delta ("also…", "drop…", "really about…"), integrate it with the existing Goal so the result is a single coherent statement, preserving the parts still true.

If the intended change is genuinely ambiguous, state the revised wording you propose and confirm it with the user before writing. The Goal is the root of the whole requirements tree — getting its wording right matters more than acting fast.

3. Analyse the impact (before editing)

Reason about what the new goal may have invalidated. Do not write this analysis into the document and do not edit those sections — this is to inform what you surface in step 5:

  • Which ## Decisions entries the new goal contradicts, moots, or leaves dangling.
  • Which open or Deferred questions it newly settles, newly opens, or makes irrelevant.
  • Which ## Out of Scope entries the new goal now pulls back in (or pushes out).
  • If TASKS_TODO.md / TASKS_DONE.md already hold tasks, which derived or completed tasks the new goal strands, contradicts, or leaves unaddressed.

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.
