Creating a Goal

Overview

Set up a new open-ended goal by creating the directory structure, writing the goal definition, and preparing for iteration tracking.

Core principle: One-time setup. Run this once per goal, then use starting-an-iteration for all subsequent work.

When to Use

Use this skill when:

• User runs /create-goal command
• Starting a brand new open-ended goal
• No existing autonomy goal directory exists

DO NOT use for:

• Continuing existing goal (use starting-an-iteration instead)
• Closed goals with definition of done (use ed3d-plugins plan-and-execute workflow)
