Compile a long-running objective into a persistent, host-neutral goal contract: one measurable end state, non-goals, acceptance criteria written as external checks with an expected exit code, a budget, and an iteration ledger. Mirrors the end state into the host''s native goal command so the host''s stop check and the contract agree.

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

## Purpose

Native goal commands differ by host. This skill keeps the end state, acceptance checks,
non-goals and budget in a file that another session or host can read. Mirror the condition
through an available native goal capability; when none exists, report the file and the
next skill without claiming that automatic continuation was configured.

## Procedure

1. **Bind the request.** Resolve every named system, file, or concept to a concrete artifact
   with evidence (grep, git history, the memory layer's recall). When the wording is vague,
   run the refine procedure first. Do not guess a binding silently.
2. **Name the end state.** One sentence, one measurable condition: a test result, a build
   exit code, a file count, an empty queue. If two independent end states are present, write
   two goals.
3. **Name the check for each criterion.** Each acceptance criterion is a row with an id, the
   criterion in prose, the exact command that proves it, the expected result (exit code or
   output pattern), and its kind: `deterministic` when a command decides, `review` when a
   reader must judge. A criterion with no command and no reader is not a criterion.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add cdeust/zetetic-team-subagents/goal@sha256:e872c5a3e684d46a

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260917.db5f697, 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.
