A discipline helper for autonomous and long sessions — given the active goal in `docs/goal.md`, list the unchecked deliverable subgoals (the actual `- [ ]` items), report how many remain, and let the operator (or an autonomous worker) decide whether the next iteration should keep advancing the goal or whether the goal's `Done when` criteria are already satisfied. Does *not* alter the agent loop or override the harness — this is a transparency / discipline tool, not a runtime hook.
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-lock A small discipline helper. When an autonomous worker or a long interactive session is advancing the active goal in `docs/goal.md`, it's useful to know *at a glance* which deliverable subgoals are still unchecked. That's the entire purpose of this skill. ## What this does Reads the first `### YYYY-MM-DD | ...` subsection under `## Active goal` in `docs/goal.md` and lists every `- [ ]` (unchecked) deliverable subgoal. Also reports the count and the "Done when" line if present. ## What this does NOT do - Does not alter the Claude Code harness's turn loop. The agent still runs whatever the operator or scheduler invoked. - Does not auto-tick subgoals. Operator (or the per-commit hook that ticks subgoals on relevant commits) does that. - Does not enforce any policy. This is read-only reporting. If the operator wants autonomous mode to halt when all subgoals are checked, they wire `scripts/check-done.sh`'s exit code into their `AUTONOMY_MODE` driver. ## Why this exists `docs/goal.md` "Done when" criteria are prose plus a list of deliverable subgoals. Without a one-liner check, a long autonomous session has to either (a) re-read the entire goal file …

How to install
mdr add melons/melons-agents/goal-lock@sha256:f2159a83f0114475The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.1.0, 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.
