# Structure Goals Into Action Plans

Ambitious objectives often fail because success, scope, and next steps are unclear. This skill converts an objective into a measurable goal with milestones, subgoals, dependencies, and LeanOS canvas links.

## Capabilities

- Extracts objective, motivation, deadline, constraints, and success signals from user input.
- Classifies goals as business, brand, product, learning, or custom based on context.
- Defines measurable success criteria, subgoals, milestones, dependencies, and autonomy level.
- Uses LeanOS canvas sections to align goals with assumptions, metrics, constraints, and strategy.
- Creates a structured Markdown goal file for strategy/goals/active when the user confirms the plan.
- Flags vague objectives, missing deadlines, ambiguous success criteria, and overlapping active goals.

## Use Cases

- Founder Revenue Goal Planning: Turn a revenue target into measurable criteria, acquisition subgoals, economics checks, and milestone dates.
- Product Launch Structuring: Convert a launch intent into scoped product outcomes, dependencies, beta milestones, and completion criteria.
- Personal Learning Roadmap: Define a skill-building goal with proof of competence, practice milestones, and progress tracking.

## Prompt Templates

### Create A Basic Goal

```
I want to achieve [objective] by [date]. Help me turn it into a structured goal with success criteria and milestones.
```

### Refine A Vague Objective

```
My goal is [rough objective], but it is still vague. Ask only the questions needed to make it measurable and actionable.
```

### Build A Strategy-Aligned Goal

```
Use the relevant LeanOS canvas sections to create a goal for [objective]. Link assumptions, constraints, metrics, and affected canvas sections.
```

### Audit And Merge Goal Overlap

```
Review my active goals for overlap with [new objective]. Recommend whether to merge, replace, split, or keep the new goal separate.
```

## Limitations

- Requires a deadline or milestone target before a complete goal can be created.
- Works best in repositories that already use the LeanOS strategy/canvas and strategy/goals structure.
- Does not execute the plan or complete subgoals by itself.
- Needs user confirmation before creating high-impact or potentially duplicate goals.

## Best Practices

- Provide a deadline, target metric, current baseline, and important constraints in the first request.
- Review the proposed success criteria before allowing the skill to create a goal file.
- Keep canvas assumptions current so new goals link to accurate strategy context.

## Anti Patterns

- Do not use it for open-ended wishes without a deadline or measurable outcome.
- Do not skip duplicate-goal checks when several active goals already exist.
- Do not set high-impact goals to full autonomy without reviewing the plan first.

## Security Audit

- - Safe to publish: true
- - Audited at: 2026-06-28T14:51:49.948\+00:00
- - Summary: AI review found the static high-risk detections to be false positives caused by Markdown code fences, inline file names, planning terms, and business acronyms. No evidence found of executable commands, credential access, prompt injection, malware intent, or data exfiltration. The only residual risk is intended workspace file access for reading LeanOS strategy files and creating goal documents.
