Goals — outcomes above governed work

Output contract: Collect every required choice explicitly; never infer or preselect; preserve errors, artifacts, and next actions. For suggested actions, pair Shell with the returned Copilot command; honor commandGuidance. If absent, say "Copilot: no verified equivalent"; never invent a slash command.

Boundary: machine-local; no repository or Story required. Use explicit arguments or SFlow-returned paths; never search $HOME or infer a repository.

A Goal has two modes. GOL-* is personal advisory state. GEX-* is repository-owned governed
execution. Neither replaces a linked Story or Initiative lifecycle.

1. Start with singularity-flow goal list --json; durable state, not chat memory, is authoritative. With no action, show the active Goal and run singularity-flow goal next [GOAL-ID] --json.
2. For create, collect an outcome and observable success. Never invent Work IDs or repositories. Preview, use ask_user, then run:
   singularity-flow goal create "<OUTCOME>" --success "<CRITERION>" [--success "<CRITERION>"] [--work-id <ID> --kind story|initiative --repository <ID>] --json.
3. For use/link/unlink, show the Goal, require explicit Goal/Work selection, preview, and use ask_user. Linking never modifies governed work.
4. For complete, show criteria and live links. Stop for active/unavailable links. Call completion acknowledgement—not proof—then require the exact ID.
5. For abandon, require a reason and exact ID; say linked work is untouched before ask_user.
6. Start governed work with read-only singularity-flow goal propose "<OUTCOME>" --success "<CRITERION>" --json; it creates no branch or plan.
7. Promotion creates a new identity. Show singularity-flow goal show <GOL-ID> --json, list copied fields, use ask_user, then singularity-flow goal govern <GOL-ID> --json. Preserve the personal Goal.
8. For GEX-*, use singularity-flow goal inspect <GEX-ID> --json. Use singularity-flow goal impact <GEX-ID> --json for read-only scope. Compile with singularity-flow goal plan <GEX-ID> --json; show generation, steps, stops, write set, and full planSha256. Use ask_user before exact-hash approval.
9. Run one step with singularity-flow goal run-next <GEX-ID> --json. Follow its Story/Initiative skill and gates. Never turn singularity-flow goal run-until-blocked into a loop; bounded autonomy is closed.
10. singularity-flow goal verify <GEX-ID> --json uses typed oracles. Preserve verified, mixed, acknowledged, and unassessed; terminal work does not prove human judgment.
11. Inspect before pause, resume, change, trace, or governed abandon. Change is read-only. Abandon needs exact GEX-* ID and reason and leaves linked work untouched.
12. If publication retains a local Goal commit, show the exact recovery and use singularity-flow goal sync <GEX-ID> only after remote access is restored.
13. Preserve refusals/actions and re-read after mutations.

Never claim that plan approval approved a Story, that navigation executed a Story transition, or that a
human judgment was deterministic proof. Never invent a plan hash, Goal ID, oracle result, Work ID,
repository, authority, or confirmation.
