The goal-driven flow for long-running work: the central idea, the list of steps, the progress pointer, the change log and the acceptance guides are kept as files, so the work goes on after a change of session; after every step it waits for the user to say "passed"; requirements can be added or changed on the way. Use only when the user clearly types /generic-goal-driven; do not use it for everyday tasks. Keywords: long task, goal-driven, pick up again, change of session, not forgetting, TODO…
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-Driven: a long task that does not forget Remember one big job with files. First settle the central idea, then break it into small steps, and do them one by one: do, check yourself, hand over to the user for acceptance. After a change of session or a few days, reading the files is enough to pick up. ## When to use it - The user finds the job big, expects it to span many days or several sessions, and has clearly typed `/generic-goal-driven`. - The user says "continue": go on with an existing goal. - The user adds or changes a requirement on the way. ## When not to use it - A job one session can finish. For everyday work just open a task (the skill `harness-my-task`). - The user has not clearly asked. When a job looks long to you, you may only suggest it to the user; you cannot start it yourself. - Not every task has goal files. When there is no goal, do not make them up. ## Files They live in `.workspace/goals/<id>/` (ignored by git). `<id>` is a short English name, for example `ledger-migration`. You read and write these files directly. The templates are in [templates/](templates/). | File | What it holds | How often it changes | | --- | --- | --- | …

How to install
mdr add smars-bin-hu/copilot-agentic-harness/generic-goal-driven@sha256:94f3c1bb100cd48eThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261102.d95f023, 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.
