| description | Single-shot meta-prompt envelope for non-trivial tasks (/goal). Expands user intent into context, success criteria, operating rules, and completion proof. Use when the user invokes /goal or asks for a full-prompt goal session. |

/goal — full-prompt single-shot meta-template
Cemini modal pattern for non-trivial Cursor sessions. Canon wiki: @wiki/entities/patterns/full-prompt-goal-template.md (CCC repo).
Parse
Accept /goal <task description> or a message starting with /goal followed by the goal text.
- Empty body: show usage below and ask what "done" looks like.
- Body present: expand into the full envelope, then execute (plan first, then work).
When to use
Use /goal | Skip (lighter prompt) |
|---|
| Multi-file features, ingests, Phase-0 audits, refactors | Single-file edit, status, lint-only |
| Needs explicit done-criteria + proof | Ambiguous intent — ask first instead of AUTONOMOUSLY |
Output envelope (produce before heavy execution)
Fill every section; omit only what truly does not apply.
/goal <one-line done statement>
── CONTEXT ──
- Project:
- Stack:
- Current state:
- Working dir:
- Constraints: (include NO PUSH / laptop-only / Tier-2 if relevant)
- Audience:
── SUCCESS CRITERIA (ALL MUST BE TRUE) ──
1. …
N. Runs without errors; agent can show proof.
── OPERATING RULES — NON-NEGOTIABLE ──
1. PLAN FIRST — numbered task list before code/docs edits.
2. WORK AUTONOMOUSLY — no clarifying Qs unless genuinely blocked.
3. SELF-VERIFY — after each step: tests, lint, inspect output.
4. DEBUG YOURSELF — diagnose and fix; do not hand back broken state.
5. USE EVERY TOOL — MCP, terminal, web — within project allowlists.
6. NO PLACEHOLDERS — real implementations, not TODO stubs.
7. PROGRESS LOG — completed / in-flight / decisions / blockers.
8. STAY ON GOAL — off-spec discoveries noted, then back to SC.
9. IF BLOCKED — log wall; parallelize everything else.
10. CHECK SUCCESS BEFORE STOPPING — re-read every SC; confirm each.
── QUALITY BAR ──
Clean, typed where applicable; document new patterns; cite sources on wiki work.
── FINAL DELIVERABLE ──
Per-SC confirmation · files touched · run/test steps · proof · decisions · known limits
Cemini optional success criteria (add when relevant)
| Tag | When | SC snippet |
|---|
| CLAIM DRIFT (K122) | Research / multi-step synthesis | Mechanism preserved; citations match workspace |
| HARNESS TAG (K124) | Hooks, skills, MCP, rules edits | Six-responsibility + ETCLOVG layer recorded |
| COMPACT RUBRIC (K124) | Expected >50 turns | hot.md Checkpoint + Compact OK before /compact |
| SKILL PROMOTION (K124) | New skill pages | ≥2 independent reuses logged or wiki-only |
| VERIFY HIERARCHY (K162) | Self-improving agents / harness evolution | Name stop signal; prefer formal/execution over judge/intrinsic; evaluator cannot rewrite pass criteria; document loop-closure (in/on/closed) |
| CAPABILITY TREE (K164) | Multi-tool / multi-MCP agents | Mutually exclusive top domains; lazy child manifests only; nested push/pop; Prebind at binding leaves |
| LINEAGE (K155) | Research briefs / proposal or patch eval | Score mechanism inheritance (GenomeDiff), not citation proximity; joint parent+driver+fate consistency |
| CROSS-WIKI | Federation ingest | Bidirectional @wiki-alias/ backlinks |
| LOCAL-ONLY | Laptop wikis | Explicit NO REMOTE / commit only when asked |
Workspace-specific hooks
| Workspace | Session start | Session end |
|---|
| CCC / wikis | Read CLAUDE.md, hot.md if present | Rewrite hot.md + Checkpoint / Compact OK |
| OSINT | CLAUDE.md, inbox, lazy-tool defaults | Same + wiki/log.md on ingest |
| CeminiSuite / apps | Read relevant README / ROADMAP | Tests green before done |
Cursor vs Claude Code
- Cursor: this skill replaces Claude Code's
/goal slash command + Stop-hook gating. You must enforce rule 10 (check SC before ending turn).
- Claude Code: same envelope; Stop hook may block until goal satisfied [NEEDS VERIFICATION on hook timing].
Pair with /loop
/goal = single-shot to completion./loop = recurring or dynamic re-runs of a sub-prompt. Do not nest unless user asks.
Usage
/goal Ingest inbox PDFs: preingest, 7 source pages, lint clean, commit when asked
/goal Phase-0 audit github.com/foo/bar — GO/NO-GO with license API proof
