Guides architects on when and how to use goal-seeking agents as a design pattern. This skill helps evaluate whether autonomous agents are appropriate for a given problem, how to structure their objectives, integrate with goal_agent_generator, and reference real amplihack examples like AKS SRE automation, CI diagnostics, pre-commit workflows, and fix-agent pattern matching.
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-Seeking Agent Pattern Skill ## 1. What Are Goal-Seeking Agents? Goal-seeking agents are autonomous AI agents that execute multi-phase objectives by: 1. **Understanding High-Level Goals**: Accept natural language objectives without explicit step-by-step instructions 2. **Planning Execution**: Break goals into phases with dependencies and success criteria 3. **Autonomous Execution**: Make decisions and adapt behavior based on intermediate results 4. **Self-Assessment**: Evaluate progress against success criteria and adjust approach 5. **Resilient Operation**: Handle failures gracefully and explore alternative solutions ### Core Characteristics **Autonomy**: Agents decide HOW to achieve goals, not just follow prescriptive steps **Adaptability**: Adjust strategy based on runtime conditions and intermediate results **Goal-Oriented**: Focus on outcomes (what to achieve) rather than procedures (how to achieve) **Multi-Phase**: Complex objectives decomposed into manageable phases with dependencies **Self-Monitoring**: Track progress, detect failures, and course-correct autonomously ### Distinction from Traditional Agents …

How to install
mdr add rysweet/amplihack-rs/goal-seeking-agent-pattern@sha256:815df031c78e5decThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
