Skill instructions
<!-- Inspired by Codex's /goal command. -- Skill: Follow Goal Run a long, durable objective across many turns toward a verifiable stop condition — instead of stopping after one normal exchange. Requires session storage + artifact. 1. Persist — Save goal.md to session storage. This is the durable source of truth, readable across turns. 2. Mark as artifact — After saving, call setArtifacts to mark the file as a plan artifact so the user can see live goal state in the UI. Do not write goal.md into the workspace. Do not rely on the artifact alone — artifacts are UI-only and cannot be read back by tools. A goal has four parts. Capture all four before starting work: 1. Objective — what to achieve, in one sentence. 2. Stop condition — an observable, verifiable signal that "done" has been reached (a command exits 0, a file matches a spec, tests pass, parity check passes, etc.). 3. Validation — the concrete commands or artifacts that prove progress (test command, build command, lint, diff againExplore related resources
