Ultragoal for Codex. Use when the user asks for ultragoal in Codex, a hook-backed or runner-backed Codex goal loop, a rubric-backed Codex /goal, durable goal execution, evidence-led completion, panel verification, or to turn a brain dump into a Codex-native goal. Do not use for trivial one-turn tasks unless explicitly invoked.
Turn a messy brain dump (raw voice transcript welcome) into a verifiable goal with a checkable rubric, then work autonomously until it is verified and lessons are saved. Use for substantial end-to-end work — build, fix, migrate, investigate — AND for follow-up rounds on a finished or paused goal ("next round", "improve on this"); re-invoke it rather than arming from memory of a previous round. NOT for small contained tasks (a quick fix, a question, a tweak) — those are ordinary conversation, and a goal having run earlier in the session never makes later small asks goal work.
Initialize or reconfigure ultragoal in this project — scaffold .ultragoal/, choose preference knobs, wire the CLAUDE.md block. Runs automatically on first /ultragoal:goal.
Distill lessons from the current session or a finished goal into the project memory (.ultragoal/memory/). Used directly, as the final step of a goal loop, and immediately whenever the user corrects you.
Show the current ultragoal state — active goal, rubric progress, budget, memory health.
Independent audit of a goal — the active one or a named archived goal. A fresh-context verifier re-runs every rubric check and tries to refute the work. Use after completion for extra assurance, or anytime you doubt the claims.

The user wants to stop the active goal loop. Reason given (may be empty):
$ARGUMENTS
.ultragoal/goals/active/<slug>/goal.md whose session: matches the current session (or the legacy .ultragoal/goals/active.md). If more than one active goal exists across sessions, confirm which one to stop — default to this session's. If none, say so and stop.status: paused, leave the directory in place. The SessionStart banner surfaces it next time the bound session starts.status: abandoned, append the reason and the date to the Decision journal, move goal.md to .ultragoal/goals/archive/<slug>.md, remove the now-empty active/<slug>/ directory, and append a row to .ultragoal/stats.tsv (tab-separated; header date slug kind outcome turns verifier_fails budget if the file is new): date, slug, kind, abandoned, turns used (the goal dir's .turns), FAIL-verdict count in the goal file, budget.failures.md exists so the next attempt doesn't repeat them). If the user agrees, follow the ultragoal:remember protocol.
