{{brand}} — goal acceptance skill

This plugin ships 13 MCP/agent tools that drive acceptance-criteria-based goal completion: you lock criteria before implementing, track task progress, validate each criterion with real evidence, and block completion until an independent reviewer confirms the work.

When to use

• the user gives a multi-step task (implement / fix / refactor) with a verifiable outcome — start with the goal-planning companion skill
• the task requires criteria to be set, updated, validated, or confirmed
• a goal needs a task plan, task status tracking, or a completion check

Workflow

1. Plan — spawn a planning subagent (see goal-planning skill) and lock criteria via set_acceptance_criteria BEFORE writing code.
2. Decompose — set the task plan with set_task_plan; update status with update_task_status as work proceeds.
3. Validate — after each task, run the real verification and record it with validate_criterion (evidence from actual execution, never memory).
4. Confirm — have an independent reviewer agent re-verify self-claimed passes with confirm_criterion (fresh evidence, high-confidence type).
5. Complete — only when can_complete_goal returns allowed: true.

Companion skills

Eight per-tool companion skills ship with the plugin and activate on demand:

• goal-planning — decompose a task into coverage-complete criteria first
• set-acceptance-criteria — lock criteria (criterion quality rules)
• amend-acceptance-criteria — append criteria when requirements expand
• get-acceptance-criteria — read current criteria and progress
• update-task-status — track task status linked to criteria
• validate-criterion — record status + evidence from real execution
• confirm-criterion — independent reviewer confirmation (fresh evidence)
• can-complete-goal — completion gate; self-claimed passes block

Config

• pluginData (env PLUGIN_DATA) — data directory; goals live in <pluginData>/goals/. Empty means in-memory mode.
• autoSteerUncompleted (dsh only, default true) — steer the agent back to uncompleted goals at turn end.
• maxSteeringTurns (dsh only, default 5) — steering budget per session.

Set values with npx {{name}} config set <key> <value> (project) or with the --global flag. Env vars override file values.
