ABI Goal Orchestrator

Use this skill to turn ABI's active board and long-horizon specs into a concrete implementation plan grounded in current repo files.

Boundary: goals owns tasks/goals.md (user intentions / goal-to-slice ledger). This skill plans from tasks/todo.md + docs/spec/wdbx-north-star.mdx. When the user names a durable goal, capture/update it via the goals skill; use this skill for board/spec-driven slice selection.

Workflow

1. Start in /Users/donald/sources/repos/abi unless the user gives another ABI checkout.
2. Inspect git status --short --branch before edits; preserve unrelated dirty work.
3. Read AGENTS.md, tasks/todo.md, and tasks/lessons.md. Optionally skim tasks/goals.md for in-progress user intentions (do not treat it as the working list).
4. Optional: refresh the inventory with abi_inventory.py --repo /Users/donald/sources/repos/abi if available (ships with the codex abi-mega plugin, not this repo); skip when absent.
5. Optional: load references/current-goals.md if present alongside this skill (codex plugin copies carry it; the canonical repo copy does not) — otherwise derive the source map from tasks/todo.md + docs/spec/wdbx-north-star.mdx.
6. Derive a small executable slice. Prefer changes that make one TODO, roadmap gap, doc mismatch, or validation gap measurably more true.
7. Keep claims honest: source/build/tests override prose. Do not fake-complete stubs.
8. Verify with the narrow command that proves the slice, then the broader gate when the blast radius justifies it.

Goal Rules

• Treat tasks/todo.md as the active board and docs/spec/wdbx-north-star.mdx as the Current/Partial/Proposed map. Leave coarse user intentions in tasks/goals.md (via the goals skill).
• Do not convert disclosed stubs into fake completions. Native dispatch, production clustering, production FHE, and learned-compression claims need real source/tests/artifacts.
• Do not add legacy CLI names. Preserve the frozen top-level command set and MCP 12-tool contract.
• When changing public feature APIs, update real and stub modules and run ./tools/check.sh.
• When changing docs, run .agents/skills/docs-validate/validate.sh in addition to code gates.

Useful Commands

abi_inventory.py --repo /Users/donald/sources/repos/abi   # optional; codex abi-mega plugin only
./tools/cargo.sh --version
./tools/check.sh
./tools/check.sh

Use references/current-goals.md (when present — see Workflow step 5) for the current source inventory and validation ladder.
