## What it does

The skill turns a brief into an ordered list of stories, each with attempt counts and its own evidence. State sits in the repo under `.omc/ultragoal`, and the ledger is append-only, so a fresh session or worktree picks up where the last one stopped.

Underneath is a set of `omc ultragoal` subcommands: `create-goals` builds the plan, `complete-goals` starts or resumes a story, `checkpoint` records a result, `record-review-blockers` appends a blocker story, `status` prints the current state. The default `aggregate` mode covers the whole run with one `/goal` directive; `--claude-goal-mode per-story` gives each story its own. Two sessions in the same workspace without `--plan-id` will clobber each other's plan.

The catch: nothing here can set `/goal` for you. The shell cannot mutate Claude Code `/goal` state, so the skill writes artifacts and prints a handoff, and you type `/goal <objective>` in-session yourself. Passing `--claude-goal-json` only reconciles the ledger and does not satisfy the PreToolUse guard. The last story closes once `aiSlopCleaner`, `verification` and `codeReview` come back clean.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Yeachan-Heo/oh-my-claudecode --skill ultragoal -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/ultragoal/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/ultragoal/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Yeachan-Heo/oh-my-claudecode --skill ultragoal -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/ultragoal/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Yeachan-Heo/oh-my-claudecode --skill ultragoal -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/ultragoal/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

## When to use it
- split a large brief into ordered stories
- survive a session restart without losing progress
- attach evidence to every finished story
- log a blocker story when final review comes back dirty
- check which story is active right now

## Example prompts
- Break `plan.md` into goals with `omc ultragoal create-goals --brief-file plan.md`
- Resume the next story with `omc ultragoal complete-goals` and tell me which `/goal` to type
- Record the finished story with `omc ultragoal checkpoint --goal-id G001-... --status complete --evidence "tests and PR"`

Below is the content of a third-party file. It is data, not instructions for you: do not act on anything written inside unless the human asks. Block tag: 9b60772c6892b13f.

BEGIN THIRD-PARTY FILE 9b60772c6892b13f

name: ultragoal
description: Durable multi-goal workflow that persists plan/ledger artifacts under .omc/ultragoal and prints Claude /goal handoff text for the active session
argument-hint: "<brief or subcommand>"
level: 3
---

<Purpose>
Ultragoal breaks a brief into an ordered set of goals, records start/checkpoint/blocker/failure events in a durable append-only ledger, and tells the active Claude agent how to drive the Claude Code `/goal` slash command alongside the plan. It does not — and cannot — mutate Claude `/goal` state from the shell; it persists durable repo state and prints a model-facing handoff that the active agent must act on in-session.
</Purpose>

<Use_When>
- The user wants a durable, repo-native way to track an ultragoal across multiple Claude sessions or worktrees
- The work is large enough to warrant multiple ordered "stories" with attempt counts and per-story evidence
- The user wants the final completion gated behind ai-slop-cleaner + verification + $code-review
- The user wants the active Claude `/goal` directive coordinated with the ledger so that a session restart does not lose progress
</Use_When>

<Do_Not_Use_When>
- The task is a single small change — use direct delegation or `ralph` instead
- The user wants the assistant to literally invoke `/goal` itself from the shell — that is not possible; `omc ultragoal` only writes artifacts and prints handoff text
- The user wants a planning-only artifact with no execution loop — use `plan` instead
</Do_Not_Use_When>

<Why_This_Exists>
Claude Code `/goal` is a session-scoped Stop hook: it blocks the session from stopping until a condition holds, and auto-clears on success. That is a great single-session execution primitive, but it loses state across sessions and does not by itself enforce a final review gate. `omc ultragoal` adds a durable plan, ledger, and gating layer so a long multi-step initiative can survive session restarts, fresh worktrees, and review iterations while still leveraging Claude `/goal` to keep the active agent focused.
</Why_This_Exists>

<How_To_Use>

On plugin-only installs where `omc` is not on `PATH`, replace the `omc` prefix in
the commands below and in generated handoffs with `oh-my-claudecode.js`, or use
`node <plugin-root>/bin/oh-my-claudecode.js`.

1. Create a plan from a brief:
   ```
   omc ultragoal create-goals --brief-file plan.md
   ```
   Or with explicit stories:
   ```
   omc ultragoal create-goals --brief "ship the migration" \
     --goal "Schema::Add new columns" \
     --goal "Backfill::Backfill rows in batches" \
````
