Gate whether a coding-agent task benefits from a durable, verifiable contract, then draft, validate, start, continue, or close it for Codex, Grok, Claude Code, Cursor CLI, or an unknown host. Use for explicit goal or /goal requests and autonomous multi-checkpoint coding work with one checkable end state. Native Goal creation or mutation requires an explicit user or system request. Do not use for quick one-shot work, unrelated backlogs, OKRs, reminders, or token-budget-only changes.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Goal Gate

`/goal-gate` writes and gates contracts. It does not turn the session into product Goal mode. Only a host with a verified goal facility can do that: Codex via `create_goal`, Grok via the user-run `/goal <objective>`, Claude Code via user `/goal` plus transcript evaluation. Cursor CLI has no verified product `/goal` or goal API; it soft-adopts the contract in the current chat and uses Cursor's native chat resume for continuity.

The contract's value is that it makes "done" checkable against what the user asked for. Most real use is "the plan is agreed, start now and verify it yourself", so the hot path is: emit one honest block, start working, and close with evidence. Anything that does not serve that path is ceremony.

Independent from `workflow-gate`: consume a `Workflow Gate` block when one is present, but do not require one.

## Fast Path

Read **this file only** by default; if the host already injected it, do not re-read it. Load **at most one** reference, and only when needed:

1. Detect runtime with the ordered rules below. Explicit Cursor CLI intent wins over the model-provider name.
2. Classify Goal Fit, then run the Safety Gate.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add adonis0123/adonis-skills/goal-gate@sha256:35bd87745f8c02d4

The line at the top of this page pins the label v2.2.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
