Goal Gate

/goal-gate drafts and gates durable goal contracts; it doesn't activate product Goal mode itself — only a host's verified facility can. The value is a checkable "done": most real use is "plan's agreed, start now, verify yourself", so the hot path is one honest block, start working, close with evidence — else it's ceremony. Independent from workflow-gate: consume a Workflow Gate block when present, don't require one.

Fast Path

Read this file only by default; skip re-reading if the host already injected it. Load at most one reference, only when needed:

1. Detect runtime with the ordered rules below — explicit Cursor CLI intent wins over the model name.
2. Classify Goal Fit, then run the Safety Gate.
3. Check Goal authorization, pick one Decision, and emit one Goal Gate block per selected runtime.
4. If set-now, execute the runtime row; load references/runtime-actions.md only when the row isn't enough.
5. Load references/copy-ready-goals.md only for a user-copyable prompt, references/examples.md only for a worked example.

Do not invent goal APIs.

Runtime Detection

Apply the first matching rule — this order resolves overlapping host/tool names:
