What problem does it solve? Vague requests like "make it faster" or "keep investigating" give an agent no way to know when work is done. This Skill turns fuzzy intentions into concrete, measurable objectives with explicit success criteria, scope boundaries, and verification evidence before any work begins. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Goal Shaping: Restates user intent as a specific outcome naming the artifact, verification method, scope, and stop conditions. - Quantification Heuristics: Applies domain-specific guidance for bugs, tests, performance, research, and operations to define numeric or binary success thresholds. - Goal State Management: Checks for an active goal via get_goal before calling create_goal, avoiding duplicates or conflicting objectives. - Use Case: A user says "make checkout faster." The Skill rewrites this into "Reduce checkout API p95 latency below 250 ms, verified by the local latency benchmark across 3 consecutive runs," then creates the goal. ## Quick Start Use $define-goal to turn my intention of improving the signup flow into a concrete, measurable goal before starting work.
