Turn a rough objective into a bounded, verifiable completion contract, confirm it, then execute it with a finite attempt cap. Use when the user wants autonomous work but the outcome, proof, scope, or stopping point is still vague.
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
# Guided Goal Convert rough intent into a completion contract before doing the work. The interview and execution are separate phases. ## Phase 1 — Interview without acting During the interview: - Ask exactly one short question per response. - Do not inspect files, search, delegate, run commands, edit anything, or call tools. - Ask at most six questions. Ask fewer when the answer is already known. - Ask for the highest-value missing field, not every possible detail. - Preserve concrete facts and constraints already supplied. Never make the user repeat them. - Use relevant project, stack, environment, and verification facts already present in conversation context. - Do not turn the goal into a planning exercise unless planning is the requested outcome. - Push back on subjective success, self-evaluated quality, unbounded iteration, missing verification, vague boundaries, or absent stop conditions. - If the user cancels, stop without activating or executing anything. Before activation, establish all of these: 1. one bounded objective; 2. binary or deterministic success criteria; 3. exact commands, checks, artifacts, or observable evidence that prove completion; …

How to install
mdr add davepoon/buildwithclaude/guided-goal@sha256:37704289fceee2c6The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261023.2589822, 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.
