Ran the bundled scripts/lint_goal.py against a naive baseline task write-up and the skill-produced /goal contract for the same 'mobile login is broken' bug: baseline scored 4/14 clean checks, the skill's contract scored 13/14 clean — concrete, reproducible gap in context-grounding, fresh-verification, and stop-rule coverage.

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

  • Installs cleanly 5/5
  • Triggers reliably 5/5
  • Output vs. baseline 9/10
  • Docs & honesty 5/5

What Make Goal does

Converts issues, PR failures, bug reports, or vague requests into a structured /goal contract (GOAL/CONTEXT/CONSTRAINTS/DONE WHEN/VERIFY/OUTPUT/STOP RULES) for coding agents like Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor. Triggers when the user asks to write, tighten, or review a goal/task contract for an agent, or wants to convert an issue, plan, or backlog item into one measurable task; ships a bundled Python linter that scores contracts against 14 concrete checks.

How to install Make Goal

git clone https://github.com/majiayu000/awesome-goal-prompts.git
cd awesome-goal-prompts

Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ (per-project). Restart Claude Code after installing.

Commands — how to trigger Make Goal

  • /make-goal Turns a vague engineering ask into a runnable /goal contract with constraints, done-when, and stop rules.

It also activates on plain-language prompts like these:

  • Turn this bug report into a clear task contract for an agent
  • The login page is broken on mobile, write a task for this
  • Tighten this vague backlog item into a measurable goal

Can I use Make Goal with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?
The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.
