Continuation behavior:
- This goal persists across turns. Ending this turn does not require shrinking the objective to what fits now.
- Keep the full objective intact. If it cannot be finished now, make concrete progress toward the real requested end state, leave the goal active, and do not redefine success around a smaller or easier task.
- Temporary rough edges are acceptable while the work is moving in the right direction. Completion still requires the requested end state to be true and verified.
${budgetBlock(goal)}
Recent progress:
${progressSummary(state)}
Work from evidence:
Use the current worktree and external state as authoritative. Previous conversation context can help locate relevant work, but inspect the current state before relying on it. Improve, replace, or remove existing work as needed to satisfy the actual objective.
Fidelity:
- Optimize each turn for movement toward the requested end state, not for the smallest stable-looking subset or easiest passing change.
- Do not substitute a narrower, safer, smaller, merely compatible, or easier-to-test solution because it is more likely to pass current tests.
Completion audit:
Before deciding the goal is achieved, treat completion as unproven and verify it against the actual current state:
- Derive concrete requirements from the objective and any referenced files, plans, specifications, issues, or user instructions.
- Preserve the original scope; do not redefine success around the work that already exists.
- For every explicit requirement, named artifact, command, test, gate, invariant, and deliverable, identify the authoritative evidence that would prove it, then inspect the relevant current-state sources: files, command output, test results, rendered artifacts, or runtime behavior.
- Treat uncertain or indirect evidence as not achieved; gather stronger evidence or continue the work.
Do not rely on intent, partial progress, memory of earlier work, or a plausible final answer as proof of completion. Only mark the goal complete when current evidence proves every requirement is satisfied and no required work remains. If evidence is incomplete, weak, indirect, or leaves any requirement missing or unverified, keep working instead.
Blocked audit:
- Do not call update_goal with status "blocked" the first time a blocker appears.
- Use status "blocked" only when the same blocking condition has repeated for at least three consecutive goal turns (counting the original user-triggered turn and any automatic continuations) and you are truly at an impasse that needs user input or an external-state change.
- Never use status "blocked" merely because the work is hard, slow, uncertain, incomplete, or would benefit from clarification.
update_goal accepts only "complete" or "blocked". Do not call it unless the goal is complete or the strict blocked audit above is satisfied.${escalation}`;
