Write one standalone goal defining what done means, in at most 4,000 characters, from a Manifest, a figure-out read, a Ticket, a handoff, a plain request or several of them. Use when the user wants to turn this work into a goal, or paste it into a goal field with no file reference behind it.
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
Turn the supplied sources into one standalone goal of at most 4,000 characters. The goal replaces them: the agent that works from it has none of the sources and none of this conversation, so an obligation the goal drops is gone and a requirement it invents becomes binding. **Sources.** A Manifest — the specification of what to deliver, what counts as done, and the constraints that hold throughout; a figure-out read — a named conclusion with its evidence and what would overturn it, in the conversation or in its log file; a Ticket; a handoff; a plain request; or several of them together. Use the sources identified in the request or conversation; ask which one if the target is missing or ambiguous. Read all of them and the references needed to understand their intent and requirements. Apply explicit user amendments, distinguishing settled decisions from suggestions still under discussion. What each source owes: - **A Manifest:** its Outcome and every current Acceptance Criterion and Global Invariant, preserving each claim's authority. A hard claim is a deliberately stated user requirement or applicable project, safety or permission obligation; it changes only with its source's …

How to install
mdr add doodledood/manifest-dev/write-goal@sha256:c9e055f851a12565The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261106.e3448e3, 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.
