SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Running /goal sessions carries two hidden risks: silent token exhaustion from unbounded execution, and unvetted output quality since Haiku only checks task completion not correctness. goal-quench closes these gaps with built-in budget controls and quality verification.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Tiered Safety Modes: Core mode adds pre-run token budget estimates, mid-run budget threshold alerts, and post-run quality verification via pipeline-conductor. Pro mode adds token reduction and goal decomposition into sequential sub-goals for large tasks. Max mode adds external tool discovery and capability gap filling for complex, research-heavy work.
  • Autonomy Ladder: Supports graduated unattended operation for recurring loops, with strict irreversible-action guardrails and mandatory human review for high-risk work.
  • Use Case: Run high-stakes /goal sessions for cross-system refactors, full-project migrations, or complex feature builds without risking unexpected token overages or unvetted AI-generated outputs.

Quick Start

Use the goal-quench skill to run your planned /goal task with a token budget pre-check and automatic post-run quality verification.

Frequently Asked Questions about goal-quench

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I prevent silent token exhaustion during Claude Code goal sessions?

Prevent silent token exhaustion during Claude Code goal sessions by applying pre-run budget estimation and mid-run threshold alerts to strictly bound execution costs before they overage.

What is AI quality gating for code generation and how does it work?

AI quality gating for code generation is a post-run verification process that checks output correctness, ensuring AI-generated work meets specific quality standards rather than just confirming task completion.

How do I decompose large cross-system refactoring tasks into manageable sub-goals?

Decompose large cross-system refactoring tasks by using goal orchestration to sequentially break down complex work into manageable sub-goals, reducing token usage and improving execution control.

Can I run unattended AI goal execution loops for recurring tasks?

Yes, you can run unattended AI goal execution loops for recurring tasks using a graduated autonomy ladder, provided strict irreversible-action guardrails and mandatory human review are active for high-risk work.

What are the limitations of running complex feature builds without a token budget pre-check?

Running complex feature builds without a token budget pre-check risks unbounded execution that silently exhausts token limits and outputs unvetted AI-generated code lacking correctness verification.
