What problem does it solve? Autonomous AI coding sessions need a consistent, machine-checkable contract that locks the session goal, entry phase, consent, and hard stops before execution begins. This Skill standardizes the emission, validation, and resume detection of that provisional goal block so autopilot runs start from a verified artifact instead of ad-hoc prompts. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Goal Block Emission: Builds the provisional goal block with exactly 9 required fields (SESSION GOAL through START), enforces the 4000-character limit, writes it to disk, and prints it to chat. - Resume Detection: Recognizes a pasted goal block at session start, skips the clarification round, and resumes the run from the recorded ENTRY PHASE and REMAINING PHASES. - D1 Validation Script: Runs validate-autopilot-goal-block.mjs to check all 9 fields, the standing-granted consent literal, the character cap, and optional LANE values, exiting non-zero on failure. - Use Case: After a clarification round for an autonomous refactor, the orchestrator emits the goal block, validates it with the script, and later emits a V7 (UPDATE) variant once real test gate commands are known. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to run autopilot on your task and emit the provisional goal block, then validate the written artifact with the included Node.js validator script.
