jackin-goal-prompt
Distill a roadmap item (and any plan files the operator hands you) into a single self-contained /goal prompt — one an executor agent with zero prior context can run to completion. The prompt is the product; its tightness decides whether the goal succeeds.
Capped at 4000 characters, hard. Structure borrowed from /improve's plans: self-contained, verification-gated, hard-boundaried. The skeleton that carries execution — objective, scope, verify gates, done criteria, STOP conditions — stays; everything the executor can read from files (code excerpts) or inherits from jackin❯'s auto-loaded rules (AGENTS.md, COMMITS.md, ENGINEERING.md) is pointed at, never restated.
Distinct from jackin-research: that authors a dossier brief (a multi-page prompt.mdx file run via /goal Follow). This produces a compact inline prompt run via /goal Implement or /goal Run.
When to use
- Operator asks for a goal prompt / wants to kick off
/goalon a roadmap item. - Operator has a roadmap item plus
/improveplan files and wants them fused into one runnable prompt.
