name	goal
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
