Skill Goal Extractor

Skill Goal Extractor

Procedure

1. Resolve the target skill directory path from the request or conversation context. Do not guess — if no path is given and none is discoverable from context, ask for one.
2. Read the complete target skill, including every file and referenced resource that materially defines how the skill works. Exclude generated SKILL-GOALS.md files so a previous extraction cannot anchor the result.
3. Identify 2-6 short, concrete goals: the capability, judgment, workflow, or quality improvement an agent gains by using the skill. Focus on the golden path. Do not summarize the skill's contents, implementation details, or individual instructions — state them only when they directly express a goal.
4. Return only the format below.

The purpose and explicit goals of the skill <skill_name>:

1. <clear outcome or capability>
2. <clear outcome or capability>
3. <clear outcome or capability>

If the user approves these goals, offer to write them to SKILL-GOALS.md in the target skill's own directory, creating or overwriting it.

When Used as a Review Step

When this skill runs to characterize a skill for a review or quality-gate decision, prefer running it from an agent that did not author or edit the skill being read — a fresh read catches drift between stated goals and actual content that the editor's own re-read tends to miss.
