Goal Lifecycle

Agent skill
1 skill
READMEOverview ↓

Enforce the FlowGoal state machine — every status transition (draft → active → {waitingforuser, waitingforci, blocked, achieved, failed, cancelled}) writes both the new lifecycle block to .flow/goals/ .goal.yaml AND a goal-evaluation artifact to the linked decision journal, in a single atomic operation via bin/flow-goal-record.sh. Use when any code path mutates lifecycle.status, when /flow:goal pause/resume/clear is invoked, when the Stop hook detects a stuck pass-set, or when the evaluator returns a verdict. This skill MUST be consulted because state machines without recorded transitions become liars — a goal in failed status with no goal-evaluation artifact explaining why is worse than no state machine at all.

Original description

Enforce the FlowGoal state machine — every status transition (draft → active → {waiting_for_user, waiting_for_ci, blocked, achieved, failed, cancelled}) writes both the new lifecycle block to `.flow/goals/<id>.goal.yaml` AND a `goal-evaluation` artifact to the linked decision journal, in a single atomic operation via `bin/flow-goal-record.sh`. Use when any code path mutates `lifecycle.status`, when /flow:goal pause/resume/clear is invoked, when the Stop hook detects a stuck pass-set, or when the evaluator returns a verdict. This skill MUST be consulted because state machines without recorded transitions become liars — a goal in `failed` status with no `goal-evaluation` artifact explaining why is worse than no state machine at all.
