[Adam''s Skills] DEPRECATED — superseded by /build-it. Do not use for new work. Ran a settled goal as a bounded autonomous build loop: locked the goal, front-loaded decisions, wrote a completion-invariant contract before any code, then looped with explicit Agent-tool fan-out and fresh-eyes verification at every milestone until the invariants held. It gated on ultracode effort, mandated subagent fan-out, and verified repeatedly — three patterns that current Claude models make redundant or…

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 Workflow — DEPRECATED

> **This skill is deprecated. Use [`/build-it`](../build-it/SKILL.md) instead.**
>
> If someone has invoked this, do not run the workflow below. Tell them in two lines that it is
> retired and why, then offer `/build-it` — pointed at a ticket number if they have one, or at
> the plan file this session produced if they do not. Run it only if they explicitly say they
> want this one anyway, having been told.
>
> **Why it was retired.** Three of its load-bearing design decisions are now counter-guidance
> for the models it runs on:
>
> - It **hard-gated on ultracode effort.** Current guidance is to start at the default and step
>   up only where a measurement shows a gain; low and medium hold quality on most work at a
>   fraction of the cost. Forcing maximum effort made every run expensive by construction.
> - It **mandated explicit Agent-tool fan-out.** Models now delegate readily on their own, and
>   the standing advice is to damp that down rather than require it. The mandate produced
>   subagents on work that one context could have finished faster.
> - It **verified at every milestone, again in a bounded fix loop, and again at closeout.**

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add adamlinscott/claude-skills/goal-workflow@sha256:c6798e31b6191902

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260911.623fe4a, 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.
