SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill provides a guided, repeatable process to set up a new open-ended autonomy goal, including creating the directory structure, writing the goal definition, and preparing for iteration tracking.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • One-time setup for new autonomy goals: creates a stable workspace and a goal.md to define the open-ended objective.
  • Guided workflow: prompts for a goal statement and metrics, then generates a kebab-case directory name and the initial files.
  • Ready for iteration: preps the workspace so subsequent iterations can begin with /start-iteration.

Quick Start

Use this skill to establish a new open-ended autonomy goal. It will prompt for the goal statement, compute a kebab-case directory name under autonomy/, and create autonomy/[goal-name]/goal.md ready for iteration tracking.

Frequently Asked Questions about creating-a-goal

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I set up a new autonomy goal for an open-ended project?▼

To set up a new autonomy goal, you define the goal statement and metrics, which generates a kebab-case directory under autonomy/ and creates a goal.md file ready for iteration tracking.

What is the one-goal-per-project rule when defining an autonomy goal?▼

The one-goal-per-project rule restricts each project workspace to a single open-ended autonomy goal definition, enforcing focused iteration tracking within the generated autonomy directory structure.

Can I create multiple goal definitions in the same project workspace?▼

No, you cannot create multiple goal definitions in the same project workspace. The skill enforces a one-goal-per-project rule, limiting one open-ended autonomy goal per directory.

How does directory creation work during goal setup?▼

Directory creation computes a kebab-case directory name from your goal statement, placing the new folder under the autonomy/ path and outputting the initial workspace files including goal.md.

What do I need to prepare before initiating a fresh autonomy project?▼

Before initiating a fresh autonomy project, you need an open-ended objective and associated metrics to provide as prompts, which the skill uses to create the goal definition and workspace structure.

How do I start tracking iterations after goal definition?▼

After goal definition completes, the workspace is prepped for iteration tracking by creating the initial goal.md file, allowing subsequent iterations to begin immediately using the start-iteration command.
