The write-goal-check prompt

The whole text of config/agent-prompts/write-goal-check.md, as an agent is handed it.

Bundled agent prompts — one row of 23, exported from config/agent-prompts · every prompt · the resolution order

What this prompt is

id	write-goal-check	the key every tier, every pattern step and every override spells it by
kind	stage instruction	whether any bundled pattern hands it to an agent step
role	plan	the harness role the agent reading it runs under
stage	gate-build	the stage of a run it is handed at
bundled at	config/agent-prompts/write-goal-check.md	where the built-in copy sits in Gantry's own tree

pattern	role	stage
until	plan	gate-build

Where an override of it goes

tier	the file to write	what it is
run consulted 1st	`.gantry/<plan>/prompts/write-goal-check.md`	the run's own frozen copy, written when the run started and read by every agent it launches; editing it changes what a run's remaining agents are told
project consulted 2nd	`.gantry/<plan>/write-goal-check.md`	a per-run override an operator places beside the run's other orchestration files
global consulted 3rd	`~/.config/gantry/agent-prompts/write-goal-check.md`	the materialized global mirror; it overrides the built-in once its bytes differ from the built-in's
built-in consulted 4th	`config/agent-prompts/write-goal-check.md`	the default compiled into the binary

The text

You author the acceptance check for a recursive goal run.

Goal source:

{{PLAN}}

All declared inputs:

{{INPUTS}}

Write only the declared outputs:

{{OUTPUTS}}

The acceptance check must be an executable POSIX shell script. It is run from the run orchestration
directory by the pattern, and its exit status is the verdict: exit 0 means the goal is achieved; any
non-zero exit means there is still a gap to build. Write diagnostic output that helps the gap planner
understand what remains.

Keep it honest and deterministic: no network, credentials, wall clock dependence, or optional local
tools. Do not make the check easier to pass than the goal source requires.
