How it works
goal-setter
When your agent uses it
Draft, review, or activate a compact /goal when the user wants Codex to keep working until a verifiable result is true. Defines the result, evidence, boundaries, stop conditions, and only useful delegation. Not for ordinary implementation, Q&A, one-off edits, loose brainstorming, or subjective work with no completion test.

Token counts are estimates. Scripts run separately; they are not counted as reference context.

# Goal Setter
Turn a rough request into a compact `/goal`: the result to achieve, the evidence that proves it, the boundaries that matter, and when Codex should finish or stop. A Goal is a completion contract, not an implementation plan or a second task system.
Prefer the shortest Goal that preserves the user's real outcome. State each rule once. Leave file discovery, implementation order, agent count, models, and tool details to the running Codex task unless the user fixed them.
## Decide whether a Goal fits
Use a Goal when one objective may take many checks or turns and completion can be judged from tests, artifacts, runtime state, screenshots, measurements, sources, or a clear rubric.
Use a normal prompt for a small edit, explanation, or review. If the request is subjective and has no usable completion test, help define the test first instead of pretending the Goal is verifiable.
