Ultragoal

Purpose

Use this skill to break down complex, multi-stage projects into sequential micro-goals that persist across sessions. It prevents state loss and ensures only the current active goal can be executed, verified, or updated.

Trigger

• User requests a long-running, multi-step, or complex change spanning many files.
• The project needs repo-native tracking of progress that survives session restarts.
• Transitioning between major milestones where clear checkpoints and evidence audits are required.

Workflow

• Brief & Decompose:
• Parse the high-level objective/brief.
• Decompose into an ordered array of 3-7 discrete micro-goals.
• Ensure each goal has explicit verification criteria and a defined owner/lane.

• Durable Persistence:
• Create or update .omg/ultragoal/brief.md containing the overall mission and constraints.
• Initialize .omg/ultragoal/goals.json mapping goals to statuses (todo, in-progress, completed, blocked, failed).
• Initialize .omg/ultragoal/ledger.jsonl to log transition records, timestamps, and verification evidence.

• Fail-Closed Execution:
• Identify the first or next todo goal and set its status to in-progress.
• Prevent executing or planning subsequent goals until the in-progress goal is marked completed with clear validation evidence.
• If a goal fails or is blocked, halt the workflow and prompt for troubleshooting or manual recovery.

• Handoff generation:
• Generate a precise /oma:goal or /oma:team command using the --intent pin pattern for the current active goal.
