Orchestrate issue-backed goals from ambiguous request to shipped release with ledgers, adaptive PR graphs, preflight gates, review loops, deploy evidence, closeout audits, and retrospectives. Use for multi-issue/product/platform/maintenance goals, GitHub issue/PR planning, stacked or parallel branches, release babysitting, or goal handoff. Skip isolated fixes unless they need release planning.

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 to Release

Turn broad goals into issue-backed, reviewable, verified releases. Own
sequencing, evidence, review hygiene, and closeout. Route concrete domain work
to narrower skills instead of duplicating their mechanics.

## Operating Model

Use live evidence first: repo instructions, worktree, branch, open issues, PRs,
review threads, CI, deploy state, docs, scripts, and recent reviewer feedback.
Treat memory and prompt history as leads to verify when facts can drift.

Keep a working goal ledger. Use working notes for short, single-PR work. Use a
durable ledger by default when the goal spans multiple issues/PRs, stacked or
parallel branches, repo-wide modernization, dependency upgrades, release
orchestration, cross-session execution, or any user-requested handoff. Then use
`scripts/new_goal_ledger.py` to create an isolated untracked goal directory.
Read [goal-ledger-lifecycle.md](references/goal-ledger-lifecycle.md) before
creating, auditing, distilling, or handing off durable ledgers.

If live inspection is forbidden, produce a provisional ledger and mark
unverified live facts as `TBD` or `UNVERIFIED`.

Modes:
- `plan-only`: issue/PR/release plan only.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add bjornmelin/dev-skills/goal-to-release@sha256:b29e5f0dcf69e974

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260728.3aaa44b, 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.
