What it does

Autogoal is an agent skill from udecode/plate. Create, verify, repair, and close durable Codex goals with measurable outcomes, evidence gates, plan templates, blocker handling, completion audits, and goal-backed workflow repair.

Its SKILL.md is about 12k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 18 other files, including scripts and assets (for example `README.md`, `assets/templates/docs.md` and `assets/templates/goal-repair.md`).

The repository describes itself as: Rich-text editor with AI and shadcn/ui.

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

One-Shot Execution
Agent-Led Plan Hardening
Collaborative Planning

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6f3815d. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Ships 4 files in scripts/ (JavaScript), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
- node
- rg
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Autogoal loads about 12k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 48 tokens; SKILL.md has 6,151 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~48
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~12k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 6,151 words (~11,772 tokens).

“Use this when the user asks for a durable objective, long-running autonomous work, goal setup, or when a governing repo skill requires goal setup before work starts.”

How do I install Autogoal in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add udecode/plate --skill autogoal -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (.agents/skills/autogoal in udecode/plate) into .claude/skills/autogoal in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install Autogoal in Codex?

Can I use Autogoal in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add udecode/plate --skill autogoal -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/autogoal, .gemini/skills/autogoal, .github/skills/autogoal and .opencode/skills/autogoal in your project.

What does Autogoal need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Autogoal needs JavaScript for the scripts in its folder and the command-line tools its instructions call (node and rg). Our summary lists: Node.js.

Does Autogoal access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Autogoal safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. The check reads SKILL.md only: the scripts in the folder are not scanned, so read them before running anything.

What licence does Autogoal use?

Autogoal has a licence file (the repository's licence) that doesn't match a standard licence. Read it on GitHub before reusing the skill.

How many tokens does Autogoal use?

About 12k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 47k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.

What are the alternatives to Autogoal?

Skills that share tags, products or a category with Autogoal: Goals (codewhale-hq/Codewhale, 41k stars), Openclaw Repair Sweep (openclaw/openclaw, 392k stars), Close (davepoon/buildwithclaude, 3.6k stars) and Agent Goal Planner (ruvnet/ruflo, 74k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.

Who maintains Autogoal?

udecode (a GitHub organization) maintains it in udecode/plate, which has 16,642 GitHub stars. The repository holds 78 skills in this directory. The repository was last updated on October 8, 2026.
