Goal Contract Capture

Category: General  ·  Sub-category: legal-compliance  ·  Last updated:
type:review
Capture a FlowGoal contract as a project-local `.flow/goals/<id>.goal.yaml` file with outcome, acceptance criteria (with verification commands), specification elements (non-goals, failure modes, interface contracts), constraints, evaluator binding, continuation policy, and lifecycle frontmatter. Use when /flow:start passes the Spec Validation Gate, when /flow:goal create is invoked, or when /flow:review and /flow:address need a completion contract for a PR. This skill MUST be consulted because acceptance criteria alone do not constitute a contract — without an evaluator binding, boundaries, and lifecycle state, downstream phases cannot detect premature completion, the Stop hook cannot enforce evidence, and goals cannot resume across sessions.

From the source SKILL.md

You produce a FlowGoal contract — a durable completion contract that turns acceptance criteria + specification into a machine-readable, file-backed artifact. This skill is the 5th invoker of the existing specification-capture pattern; it wraps that skill (does NOT replace it) and adds the goal-specific fields needed for evaluator/Stop-hook enforcement.

What this skill does

Goal Contract Capture is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the legal-compliance sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/goal-contract-capture/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

When to invoke it: Use when /flow:start passes the Spec Validation Gate, when /flow:goal create is invoked, or when /flow:review and /flow:address need a completion contract for a PR. This skill MUST be consulted because acceptance criteria alone do not constitute a contract — without an evaluator binding, boundaries, and lifecycle state, downstream phases cannot detect premature completion, the Stop hook cannot enforce evidence, and goals cannot resume across sessions.

Who uses this skill
