SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Vague or rough task requests cause AI agents to invent assumptions, skip verification, and produce unverified or unsafe work. This Skill converts an ambiguous request into a structured GOAL template with explicit facts, constraints, verification steps, and stop rules before any execution begins. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Pre-GOAL Fact Pass: Gathers cheap, fetchable facts from code, logs, issues, and docs before asking the user anything, separating confirmed facts, blocked facts, default decisions, and genuine uncertainties. - Decision Funnel: Runs a question-driven decision ledger (confirmed, likely, autonomous, open, out-of-scope) for product, design, or spec-shaping work before writing the GOAL. - Risk-Calibrated Templates: Classifies tasks by type and risk level, producing compact templates for small tasks and full templates with STOP RULES and HITL approval loops for high-risk work like security, production, or external posting. - Use Case: You have a vague request like "investigate whether WAF is blocking staging traffic and fix it." The Skill inspects available evidence, asks only the decisions that matter, and outputs a copy-paste-ready GOAL prompt another agent can execute without re-litigating settled decisions. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to turn your rough task description into a GOAL template for handoff to another agent.

FAQPage Schema
How do I turn a vague task request into an agent-executable prompt?

Provide the rough request and the Skill runs a fact-gathering pass, classifies the task type and risk level, then outputs a GOAL template with confirmed facts, constraints, plan, verification steps, and stop rules. The result can be pasted directly into another agent.

What is a GOAL template for AI agents?

A GOAL template is a structured Markdown instruction sheet containing sections like GOAL, CONTEXT, CONSTRAINTS, PLAN, DONE WHEN, VERIFY, and STOP RULES. It freezes the objective and boundaries so an executing agent avoids invented assumptions and unverified fixes.

When should I use a GOAL template instead of a direct prompt?

Use it for multi-step tasks, vague success criteria, security-sensitive work, external side effects like deployment or posting, or handoffs to another agent. Small obvious tasks only need the compact template with goal, constraints, and verification.

Does the GOAL template generator execute the task itself?

No, it produces the template as the deliverable and does not start the underlying work unless you explicitly ask it to proceed. The expected flow is to review the template, then paste it into another agent or approve execution.

How does it handle unclear requirements before writing the prompt?

It first fetches cheap facts from files, logs, issues, and docs, then asks only about unresolved user decisions that materially change the outcome. Fetchable facts are never listed as uncertainties; blocked facts are recorded with the attempted method.
