## GOAL Input Sheet
### 1. GOAL
[Single measurable goal. No expansion.]
### 2. DONE EVIDENCE
[Completion proof. The evidence contract branches by artifact type —
don't force one shape onto both:]
- **Code artifact** → command to run + expected result. No subjective
criteria.
e.g.: `pytest tests/test_X.py -v` → 5 passed
e.g.: `curl localhost:3000/api/health` → 200 OK
- **Non-code artifact** (writing, analysis, reports, designs, prompts, spec
docs) → no exit code exists to demand. State the review contract instead:
what a reviewer checks off, or what a named approver signs off on (e.g.
"reviewer confirms the 3 required sections are present and each claim
cites a source" or "user approves the draft"). This feeds directly into
the REFINE loop below (VERIFY/REFINE split) rather than VERIFY's execution
path.
**Adversarial criteria design**: when setting DONE EVIDENCE, ask first "how
could an agent game this criterion." An unblocked loophole tends to get
found eventually — threshold relaxation, mock wrapping, hardcoding all
exploit a DONE EVIDENCE that was underspecified to begin with. Check for
loopholes at design time, especially on long-running or repeated tasks.
**Evidence-Rigor Pre-spec** [borrowed from ultraprompt]: when DONE EVIDENCE
includes concurrency, benchmark, p99-style statistics, or long-running-process
claims, pre-check the verification agent's evidence-rigor rules (N≥5 repeats,
before/after symmetry, evidence-scope matching, flaky-means-new-bug,
positive-signal-required) and write DONE EVIDENCE to already satisfy them —
this prevents a later insufficient-evidence rejection at the verify step by
fixing the design at spec time instead.
### 3. CONTEXT
[Current state · existing structure · prior decisions · dependencies · known constraints]
### 4. STARTING POINT
[Files/logs/tests to look at first. Start here, no broad exploration.]
### 5. SCOPE
- **Include**: [Editable area + required work]
- **Exclude**: [Out of bounds · unrelated refactors · new features · production behavior changes]
- **Capability-spillover (flag, don't fix)**: other bugs, design/structural
improvement ideas, or similar edge cases noticed mid-task all stay in
Exclude. Report them separately (one inline line, or a follow-up task)
and return to the current GOAL. Stronger models trend toward "fixing it
all while I'm in here" — scope is a lock, not a ceiling.
### 6. CONSTRAINTS
- New dependencies: allow/forbid
- Network/API calls: allow/forbid
- Commit/PR/push: allow/forbid
- Migration/DB changes: allow/forbid
- Destructive actions: allow/forbid
### 7. BUDGET
[Time/token/call/cost limits. Follow if given, don't invent if not.]
### 8. EVAL TYPE (optional — only for tasks measuring a skill/hook/gate's own reliability)
[yes — this GOAL measures whether the verification logic itself actually works]
[no or omit — regular implementation. Normal DO→VERIFY iteration is allowed]
## GOAL (Quick)
### 1. GOAL
[One-line goal]
### 2. DONE EVIDENCE
[One verification command]
### 3. SCOPE
- **Include**: [Files to modify]
- **Exclude**: [Don't touch]
SCOPE Include naming a file is not blanket permission for everything inside it. The scope check surface is file changes + interface/functionality surface — an unrequested CLI flag, a new public API parameter, or a test scenario broader than what was asked for is scope creep even when the file it lives in sits squarely inside SCOPE Include. Applies to both Quick and Full mode: "the file is in scope" answers a different question than "was this specific change asked for."
Fields extractable from conversation context are auto-filled and shown for user confirmation:
After auto-fill: "Input sheet filled. Proceed if correct, or tell me what to change." — never proceed without confirmation.
Any of 7 fields (Quick: 3) missing or contradictory → don't guess, STOP.
Honesty (highest priority):
Success Masquerading Blocklist:
| Pattern | Description |
|---|---|
| Test deletion/disable | Delete failing tests or neutralize with skip/xfail |
| Mock wrapping | Assert only mock return values and report "passed" |
| Threshold relaxation | Lower the bar to pass |
| Benchmark condition change | Change measurement conditions to improve numbers |
| Failure log suppression | Send error output to /dev/null or catch-all |
| Hardcoding | Hardcoded results matching test inputs |
| Requirement reinterpretation | "Actually this was supposed to work like..." |
| Acceptance criteria weakening | Subtly lower DONE EVIDENCE standards |
| Production behavior change | Modify production logic in a way that contradicts the actual requirement/spec to make a test pass — normal RED→GREEN (writing the minimal production code a correct failing test demands) is not this pattern; the violation is the direction of the change, not the fact that production code changed after a test |
| Goal-lock declaration ignored | Declare "proceeding with goal-lock" then skip the input sheet |
| Structural fix reported as upgrade | Report boilerplate additions as "substantive improvements" |
| Ralph Wiggum (early completion) | Skip VERIFY or run it partially, then jump to OUTPUT. Emit completion signal from an incomplete state |
| CEF Thanatosis (external failure fabrication) | Evading constraints via unverified failure claims like "API error"/"file not found"/"permission denied". Failure reports must be accompanied by actual Bash/Read execution results |
| Post-hoc abstention | Execute an irreversible action first, then declare "failed"/"on hold" after the fact. Abstention judgment is only valid before the commit-point gate — declaring it after the action has already landed is still success masquerading |
| Layer laundering | Narrating a unit-test pass as if it proves the user-facing feature actually works — laundering one evidence layer as a higher one |
| Silent self-correction | On an EVAL TYPE=yes task, quietly re-running DONE EVIDENCE multiple times off the record to hide failures, then reporting only the last (passing) run |
Language-specific patterns:
@pytest.mark.skip, @pytest.mark.xfail, mock.return_value abusetest.skip, .only left in, jest.fn() chains bypassing real logict.Skip(), //go:build ignore#[ignore], #[should_panic] misuse5-tier evidence ladder — no claim can outrank this ladder:
executed (actually observed running) > integration-tested > unit-tested > typed (type-checked only) > reasoned (reasoning only)
Every claim must state its tier: verified: {concrete evidence} or
unverified: {reason}. An unlabeled "it's done"-type claim is not allowed.
Failure-first reporting order: describing successes first and only mentioning failures afterward is itself an anti-pattern ("burying the failure") — report failed/unverified items first, successes after.
Banned hedge phrases: "should work", "probably fine", "this looks right"
and similar are explicitly banned. If unverified, write unverified: {reason}
instead.
0 Honesty → 1 Stability → 2 Preserve existing behavior → 3 Verifiability → 4 Performance → 5 Code cleanup
PLAN → DO → VERIFY(code) → FINALIZE → OUTPUT
↘ REFINE(non-code) ↗
| Risk | Check |
|---|---|
| Breaking change | Will existing callers break? |
| Race condition | Concurrent access to shared resource? |
| Stale state | Cache/state might not update? |
| Data loss | Irreversible deletion/overwrite? |
| Security | Input validation, permissions, secret exposure? |
| Perf regression | O(n²) introduction? |
| Backward compat | Existing API/interface changing? |
| Chain length | Can the total number of steps/tool calls be cut before optimizing any single step? |
Chain length as a dominant variable: reliability tracks step count, not just each step's individual correctness. Benchmarks show tool-chain accuracy falling from roughly 39% to 13% as chains lengthen, and sequential-turn-depth scores dropping from 82.3 to 51.2 over comparable depth increases — longer chains fail more often even when every individual step looks reasonable. Before tuning how a step is done, ask whether it needs to exist at all; fewer, more consequential steps beat more, smaller ones.
Risk detected → return to PLAN with avoidance strategy.

### Scope Check Surface

it. The scope check surface is **file changes + interface/functionality
surface** — an unrequested CLI flag, a new public API parameter, or a test
scenario broader than what was asked for is scope creep even when the file

After auto-fill: `"Input sheet filled. Proceed if correct, or tell me what to change."` — never proceed without confirmation.
### Input Validation
Any of 7 fields (Quick: 3) **missing or contradictory → don't guess, STOP.**
- GOAL contains 2+ independent goals → STOP ("Please narrow to one goal")
- DONE EVIDENCE is subjective ("if it works well") → STOP ("Replace with executable verification command")
- SCOPE Include and Exclude overlap → STOP ("X appears in both Include and Exclude")
- BUDGET missing → OK (just don't invent one)

## [B] Fixed Loop
### B1. Always-ON Guards (never violate)
**Honesty** (highest priority):
- Never hide failure, uncertainty, or unverified results
- Mark uncertain judgments as uncertain
**Success Masquerading Blocklist**:
| Pattern | Description |
|---------|-------------|
| Test deletion/disable | Delete failing tests or neutralize with skip/xfail |
| Mock wrapping | Assert only mock return values and report "passed" |
| Threshold relaxation | Lower the bar to pass |
| Benchmark condition change | Change measurement conditions to improve numbers |
| Failure log suppression | Send error output to /dev/null or catch-all |

**Language-specific patterns**:
- Python: `@pytest.mark.skip`, `@pytest.mark.xfail`, `mock.return_value` abuse
- JavaScript: `test.skip`, `.only` left in, `jest.fn()` chains bypassing real logic
- Go: `t.Skip()`, `//go:build ignore`
- Rust: `#[ignore]`, `#[should_panic]` misuse
### B1.1 Evidence-Rigor Ladder + Reporting Order [borrowed from ultraprompt]
**5-tier evidence ladder** — no claim can outrank this ladder:
`executed (actually observed running) > integration-tested > unit-tested > typed (type-checked only) > reasoned (reasoning only)`
Every claim must state its tier: `verified: {concrete evidence}` or
`unverified: {reason}`. An unlabeled "it's done"-type claim is not allowed.
**Failure-first reporting order**: describing successes first and only
mentioning failures afterward is itself an anti-pattern ("burying the
failure") — report failed/unverified items first, successes after.
**Banned hedge phrases**: "should work", "probably fine", "this looks right"
and similar are explicitly banned. If unverified, write `unverified: {reason}`
instead.
### B2. PRIORITY (on conflict)
```
0 Honesty → 1 Stability → 2 Preserve existing behavior → 3 Verifiability → 4 Performance → 5 Code cleanup
```
### B3. Execution Loop
```
PLAN → DO → VERIFY(code) → FINALIZE → OUTPUT
↘ REFINE(non-code) ↗
```
#### PLAN GATE
- **No immediate fixes.** Identify root cause + short plan first.
- Big changes, schema changes, dependency additions, production behavior changes → **stop and get approval.**
- Plan is 3 lines max. Steps, not documents.
#### DO
- **Minimum change** to achieve GOAL. Don't touch SCOPE Exclude.
- Before starting, **check RISKS** (applicable items only):
| Risk | Check |
|------|-------|
| Breaking change | Will existing callers break? |
| Race condition | Concurrent access to shared resource? |
| Stale state | Cache/state might not update? |
| Data loss | Irreversible deletion/overwrite? |
| Security | Input validation, permissions, secret exposure? |
| Perf regression | O(n²) introduction? |
| Backward compat | Existing API/interface changing? |
| Chain length | Can the total number of steps/tool calls be cut before optimizing any single step? |
**Chain length as a dominant variable**: reliability tracks step count, not
just each step's individual correctness. Benchmarks show tool-chain accuracy
falling from roughly 39% to 13% as chains lengthen, and sequential-turn-depth
scores dropping from 82.3 to 51.2 over comparable depth increases — longer
chains fail more often even when every individual step looks reasonable.
Before tuning how a step is done, ask whether it needs to exist at all;
fewer, more consequential steps beat more, smaller ones.
Risk detected → return to PLAN with avoidance strategy.
