# Goal Check Summarize the current thread for the human. Infer the longer-term goal from the whole thread (or half-dozen of turns or so, if a lot has happened) and the near-term work from the most recent one or two tasks. Return exactly this structure: ```markdown ## Goal Check! Here's my understanding of this <thread or project>: | Type | Summary | | --- | --- | | Long | <one-sentence summary of the longer-term goal> | | Near | <one-sentence summary of the most recent one or two tasks> | | Next | <what the agent needs from the human to progress> | ``` Keep the entire response succinct. Apply these rules: - If the longer-term goal is uncertain, give the best useful guess and append `(unclear)` or a more precise short qualifier. - In `NEXT`, bold each short, distinct response keyword in uppercase. If a choice is required then put each choice option in uppercase so that a single word can kick it in motion. If no human input is needed, mention that. - Keep each table value on one line. Escape/replace literal pipe characters in values so the Markdown table remains valid. - Include no preamble, explanation, bullets, code fence, closing, or other commentary outside the heading and table. - Assume that if this skill is given, the human or agent is not quite sure where things stand and it is your job to make sure their next turn is with clear context in plain language.
