type:review

Create, tighten, or review runnable /goal contracts for coding agents such as Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, and similar agent tools. Use when the user asks to write, make, generate, improve, productize, or critique a goal prompt, rescue contract, GOAL.md-style task, done-when contract, verification prompt, stop-rule prompt, or when they want to convert a vague engineering request, issue, PR, CI failure, bug report, plan, or backlog item into one measurable coding-agent task. Prefer source-backed goal patterns when available, use seed patterns only as raw reusable shapes, and output the goal contract or review rather than implementing the underlying code task.

From the source SKILL.md

Use this skill to turn engineering intent into a runnable task contract for an agent. The output is a /goal contract, a review of an existing goal, or a catalog-entry draft when explicitly requested. Do not implement the underlying software task unless the user separately asks for execution.
