codex-goals

Patterns and anti-patterns for using OpenAI Codex Goals — the persistent objectives feature introduced in Codex 0.128.0. Use this skill whenever writing, reviewing, or debugging a `/goal` invocation, deciding whether a task should be a Goal at all, drafting a research Goal that needs an evidence ledger, or diagnosing a Goal that completed against the wrong surface. Triggers on `/goal`, "Codex Goal", "Codex goals", "persistent objective", "evidence-based completion", "iteration policy", "blocked stop condition", or any user message describing a multi-turn Codex task with a defined finish line. Trigger even if the user doesn't explicitly mention Goals — if they're typing "/goal" or asking Codex to "keep going until X", this skill applies.
