goalkeeper

Run a linear sequence of goalkeeper goals where the judge gates progression between them. Use when the user invokes /goal-chain "<file>" to start a chain. Also auto-invoked by the judge skill on approval to advance the chain cursor.

The gate. Reviews the active goalkeeper goal against its definition-of-done and either approves (advance / mark done) or rejects (with a structured fix-list). Auto-fired by the goal skill when the validator passes (inline mode), or invoked by the goal-chain orchestrator after executor subagent returns (subagent mode, v0.3+). Can also be invoked on demand via /goal-judge for advisory review.

Set or check status of a durable goalkeeper goal. Use this skill when the user invokes /goal "<objective>" to start a new contract-driven goal, or /goal with no arguments to see status of the currently active goal. Goalkeeper goals run autonomously across many turns with checkpoint validation and judge-gated completion.

The mission-level supervisor. One level above goals. Reads the user's mission charter and the most-recently-completed goal's artifacts, then decides whether to PROCEED (draft + activate the next goal), declare the mission DONE, or ESCALATE to the user. Use this skill when the user invokes /goal-supervisor after a goal completes, or when running a multi-goal arc where each next goal's shape is informed by the prior goal's actual output.

Interactively draft a goalkeeper contract before executing. Use this skill when the user invokes /goal-prep "<rough idea>", or when /goal is called for a slug that has no contract yet. Produces a well-formed contract.md with explicit objective, definition-of-done, validator command, and non-goals.

Stop and archive the currently active goalkeeper goal. Use when the user invokes /goal-clear to abandon or finalize a goal. Files are moved to .claude/goals/_archive/, never deleted.

Pause the currently active goalkeeper goal without losing state. Use when the user invokes /goal-pause. The goal can later be resumed with /goal-resume.

Resume a paused or needs_human goalkeeper goal. Use when the user invokes /goal-resume after they've manually unblocked the goal (e.g. fixed a problem the judge flagged).
