Dos Goal Gate
Ground a "keep working until the goal is met" stop condition in a witness the agent did not author, instead of letting the agent self-certify "done". A harness goal/Stop-hook condition is normally checked by the model re-reading its OWN work — consistency, not grounding. This skill turns the operator's goal into checkable EFFECT claims and wires `dos hook stop` so the Stop is refused until git ancestry (a shipped phase) or an effect read-back corroborates the claimed effect. Driven by `dos` verbs and the workspace's own `dos.toml` — no host-specific paths, lanes, or commit conventions. Use when you want a self-stopping agent (or a `/loop` worker) to be unable to declare a goal complete on its own say-so. The single-agent self-stop analogue of `dos-witness-claim`.

From the source SKILL.md
The shape is domain-free: state the goal as effects → wire the Stop gate → on each stop, witness every effect → stop only when all are corroborated. The policy (which plan grammar, which lanes, where state lives) is data read from dos doctor --json, never literals this screenplay hardcodes.
