Wraps /goal with a tiered safety + orchestration ladder. core (default): a token budget gate (pre-run estimate), mid-run budget thresholds, and an automatic post-run quality verification via pipeline-conductor — closing /goal's two gaps (the runner's per-turn judge evaluates completion, pipeline-conductor evaluates correctness). pro: adds context-doctor token reduction and agent-composer goal decomposition. max: adds internal-first capability-gap fill…

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-quench — /goal with Token Budget + Quality Gate

**Availability of `/goal` is unresolved** — treat it the way `CLAUDE.md` treats `/deep-research`:
use the built-in **if present**, and do not assert it is absent either. Everything below applies to
whatever autonomous-run command this environment actually has; goal-quench is the wrapper, not the
runner. Probe before relying on it (`/help`, or the skill/command list), and say which you found.

`/goal` is understood to run until a cheap per-turn judge (reported as Haiku) says "done" — that is
**second-hand, not verified here**, so treat it as the assumption goal-quench is designed against
rather than as a fact about the implementation. What matters for this skill holds either way: a
completion judge is not a quality judge, and without a budget ceiling a session can exhaust tokens
silently. goal-quench adds three things such a runner does not itself provide:

1. **Pre-run**: token-budget-gate estimate — know the cost before committing
2. **Mid-run**: budget threshold awareness — signal before exhaustion (instructional; not mechanically enforced)
3. **Post-run**: pipeline-conductor — verify quality before accepting "done"

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add chrono-meta/forge-harness/goal-quench@sha256:624a95ceda67470b

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260926.34f53cf, 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.
