Using /goal well means defining strict acceptance criteria at every stage
dotey · x · 2026-08-04
The core advice is that using /goal well depends on defining strict acceptance criteria.
For each stage, you should spell out not only the task objective, but also:
- what counts as success
- how to verify the stage is done
The point is to prevent the agent from drifting off-course by making evaluation explicit at every step.
