# Formulate Top Goal

Crystallize the user's direction into a formal, confirmable goal statement.

## Execution

Dialogue — inline, no subagent.

## Format

"Achieve [what], such that [effect], under [constraints]"

## Process

1. Draft the goal statement based on accumulated context (direction + ActorProfile + obstacles accepted)

2. Present to user

3. Ask: "Is this what you want to achieve? Should I adjust anything?"

4. Iterate until user confirms

## Output

Confirmed top-level goal statement.
