Convert a Node.js CLI tool specification (even a vague one) into a Codex /goal-ready bundle — GOAL.md, VERIFY.md, PROGRESS.md inside goals/<slug>/ — with AI-agent-friendly patterns (--json, stdout/stderr separation, exit codes, structured errors, TTY detection, --dry-run) baked into every goal. Asks clarifying questions in focused batches (each with options + recommendation + reasoning), reaches 95% confidence, optionally scaffolds a missing CLI project (bin/, src/, package.json, AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md behavioral snippet), and emits a tailored /goal command. Handles both new CLIs and adding commands to existing ones. Supports JavaScript (default) and TypeScript, commander.js, Vitest, conditional SQLite and cosmiconfig. For Node.js CLI tools, not web apps, servers, or non-Node projects.
