Use when the user asks to advance, continue, or work on the project's long-horizon goal (or to set one up) — the policy for goal-driven increments driven through the goal companion, one increment at a time, delegated via the codex/cursor delegation skills, honestly recorded.
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 Runner The companion (`goal-companion.mjs`) owns state, selection, and dispositions; you own judgment. Follow the `/goal:step` choreography exactly — never reimplement its bookkeeping by editing the goal file ad hoc. Policy: - **One increment at a time.** `next` → `start` → execute → verify → PR → `record` → stop. The companion refuses a second in-progress item; do not work around the refusal. - **Disclose.** Announce each increment (and each delegation) in one line. - **Start before working.** Call `start` before any work on the increment begins — including delegated work — or the ledger's step-started→disposition gap understates reality and the retro must discard it. Ledger evidence, 2026-08-07: one of eight durations read 0min because work preceded `start`. - **Delegate with judgment.** Trivial work stays local. Deep analysis or a second opinion goes to Codex, fast parallel implementation to Cursor, via the `codex-delegation` / `cursor-delegation` skills. Analysis and implementation are separate delegations when both are needed. - **Refine once.** If delegated work fails verification, refine the brief …

How to install
mdr add zebbern/agent-collab/goal-runner@sha256:6096cd618bcc3da1The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260929.43c1cdc, 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.
