goal-manager

Track durable task goals across sessions, compactions, and PR-bound work using the project ledger.

Workflow

1. Decide whether goal tracking is useful.
2. Track when work spans multiple sessions, compactions, or PR rounds.
3. Skip for one-off questions or trivial tasks.
4. Shape the objective: outcome-focused, verifiable, scoped.
5. Persist the goal in ledger/current.md under "Current Goal" with Goal, Owner, Started, Status, and a Plan checklist.
6. Append progress notes during work — bash scripts/checkpoint.sh or direct edits.
7. Re-read the ledger when resuming. State briefly what was last done and what comes next.
8. Complete only when the real outcome is done, verification has run, and a summary is recorded.
