# Write a good goal

Help the user turn a rough intention into one or more `/goal` objectives that
goal mode can pursue across many turns without supervision. A goal is not a task
description; it is a completion contract. It says what must become true, how
that truth is proven, where the work may and may not reach, and when to stop and
report.

Drafting and starting are separate steps. Settle the wording first. Only once
the user has approved the exact objective should you call `create_goal`. When
the user approves more than one objective, call `create_goal` for each approved
goal in the intended order; the first starts and the rest are queued.

## Ask, do not narrate choices
