What problem does it solve? Delegating work to a persistent worker agent without a well-scoped goal file leads to duplicated work, conflicting lanes, and uncontrolled mutations. This Skill structures the preparation of one bounded worker goal so the worker receives exact scope, approvals, and stop conditions before any dispatch happens. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Goal File Preparation: Produces a goal file with one bounded objective, explicit repo and lane, read-first files, allowed mutations, no-go boundaries, stop conditions, and success criteria. - Worker Status Gate: Checks CONTEXT.md, marker files, and RESULT.md before writing or refreshing a goal, preventing overwrites of active or blocked goals. - Approval Enforcement: Requires citing exact existing approvals for AWS, IAM, networking, or production-like state, and never dispatches the worker itself. - Use Case: A controller needs a worker to update a service configuration. Use this Skill to reconcile the current goal state, draft the goal file with exact paths and approvals, and hand it off for approval before running run-worker-goal. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to prepare a worker goal for a specific lane and goal ID, providing the exact repo, lane path, and applicable approval reference.
