What it does

Track progress toward 3-year, yearly, monthly, and weekly goals. Calculate completion percentages, surface stalled goals, connect daily tasks to objectives. Use for goal reviews and progress tracking.

Installed, it changes the agent in these ways.

What this skill changes about the agent is not written down here yet. The listing was collected from its source, and the description is in its own SKILL.md.

Workflow

Runs a procedure end to end.

The skill itself

This is the whole product. A skill is instructions the model reads, so there is nothing behind the listing you cannot see first — the front matter loads with every session, and the body below it loads when the skill triggers.

31```markdown
32## Life Areas
33- Career: [Vision statement]
34- Health: [Vision statement]
35- Relationships: [Vision statement]
36- Financial: [Vision statement]
37- Learning: [Vision statement]
38- Personal: [Vision statement]

41### Yearly Goals
42```markdown
43## 2024 Goals
44- [ ] Goal 1 (XX% complete)
45- [ ] Goal 2 (XX% complete)
46- [x] Goal 3 (100% complete)

51## This Month's Focus
521. **Primary:** [Main focus]
532. **Secondary:** [Supporting goal]
543. **Stretch:** [If time permits]
55
56### Key Results
57- [ ] Measurable outcome 1
58- [ ] Measurable outcome 2

61## Progress Calculation
62
63### Checklist-Based Goals
64```
65Progress = (Completed checkboxes / Total checkboxes) * 100
66```
67
68### Metric-Based Goals
69```
70Progress = (Current value / Target value) * 100
71```
72
73### Time-Based Goals
74```
75Progress = (Days elapsed / Total days) * 100
76```
77
78## Common Operations
79
80### View Goal Progress
811. Read all goal files
822. Parse checkbox completion rates
833. Calculate overall and per-goal progress
844. Identify stalled or at-risk goals
85
86### Update Goal Status
871. Find goal in appropriate file
882. Update checkbox or percentage
893. Add date stamp for significant milestones
904. Update related weekly review
91
92### Connect Task to Goal
93When adding tasks to daily notes:
941. Identify which goal the task supports
952. Add goal reference: Supports: [[1. Yearly Goals#Goal Name]]
963. Use appropriate priority tag
97
98### Surface Stalled Goals
991. Check last activity date for each goal
1002. Flag goals with no progress in 14+ days
1013. Suggest actions to restart momentum
102
103## Project-Aware Progress
104
105### Project Integration
106When calculating goal progress, include project data:
1071. Scan Projects/*/CLAUDE.md for all active projects
1082. Match projects to goals via their "Goal Link" / "Supports" field
1093. Include project completion % in goal progress calculations
1104. Surface which projects support each goal
111
112### Orphan Goal Detection
113Flag goals that have no active project supporting them:
114- A goal with 0 linked projects may need a project created (/project new)
115- A goal with only completed/archived projects may need a new initiative
116
117## Progress Report Format
118
119```markdown
120## Goal Progress Report
121
122### Overall: XX%
123
124### By Goal
125| Goal | Progress | Projects | Last Activity | Status |
126|------|----------|----------|---------------|--------|
127| Goal 1 | 75% | [[ProjectA]] (80%), [[ProjectB]] (60%) | 2 days ago | On Track |
128| Goal 2 | 30% | (none) | 14 days ago | Stalled |
129
130### Project Status
131| Project | Goal | Progress | Phase |
132|---------|------|----------|-------|
133| [[ProjectA]] | Goal 1 | 80% | Active |
134| [[ProjectB]] | Goal 1 | 60% | Active |
135
136### Orphan Goals (no active project)
137- Goal 2 — Consider /project new to create a supporting project
138
139### This Week's Contributions
140- [Task] -> [[Goal 1]] via [[ProjectA]]
141- [Task] -> [[Goal 2]]
142
143### Recommended Focus
1441. [Stalled goal needs attention]
1452. [Nearly complete goal - finish it]
1463. [Orphan goal needs a project]
147```
148
149## Task-Based Progress Tracking
150
151The goal tracking skill uses session tasks when generating comprehensive progress reports.
152
153### Progress Report Tasks
154
155Create tasks at skill start:
156
157```
158TaskCreate:
159 subject: "Read three-year goals"
160 description: "Load vision statements from Goals/0. Three Year Goals.md"
161 activeForm: "Reading three-year goals..."
162
163TaskCreate:
164 subject: "Read yearly goals"
165 description: "Load annual objectives from Goals/1. Yearly Goals.md"
166 activeForm: "Reading yearly goals..."
167
168TaskCreate:
169 subject: "Read monthly goals"
170 description: "Load current month focus from Goals/2. Monthly Goals.md"
171 activeForm: "Reading monthly goals..."
172
173TaskCreate:
174 subject: "Scan recent daily notes"
175 description: "Find task completions and goal contributions from past week"
176 activeForm: "Scanning recent daily notes..."
177
178TaskCreate:
179 subject: "Calculate completion percentages"
180 description: "Compute progress for each goal based on checkboxes and metrics"
181 activeForm: "Calculating completion percentages..."
182
183TaskCreate:
184 subject: "Identify stalled goals"
185 description: "Flag goals with no progress in 14+ days"
186 activeForm: "Identifying stalled goals..."
187```
188
189### Dependencies
190
191Goal file reads can run in parallel, but analysis depends on having all data:
192```
193TaskUpdate: "Scan recent daily notes", addBlockedBy: [read-monthly-goals-id]
194TaskUpdate: "Calculate completion percentages", addBlockedBy: [scan-recent-daily-notes-id]
195TaskUpdate: "Identify stalled goals", addBlockedBy: [calculate-completion-percentages-id]
196```
197
198Mark each task in_progress when starting, completed when done using TaskUpdate.
199
200Task tools are session-scoped and don't persist—your actual goal progress is tracked through markdown checkboxes and percentages in your goal files.
201
202## Integration Points
203
204- /weekly review: Full progress assessment with project rollup
205- /daily planning: Surface relevant goals and project next-actions
206- /monthly review: Adjust goals as needed, check quarterly milestones
207- /project status: Project completion feeds goal calculations
208- Quarterly review: Cascade from 3-year vision

Why you can read it

Nothing in a skill executes. The client loads the text and the model follows it, so a skill can be audited the way a runbook is — by reading it.

What it costs in context

Skills are not billed by the call. They are paid for in context: every token the instructions occupy is a token your code, your diff and your conversation cannot use. Here is what this one takes and when it takes it.

≈80
always loaded
The name and description, so the model knows the skill exists and when to reach for it.
1,420
on trigger
The instruction body, read only when the skill fires.
0.75%
of a 200k window
Ten skills this size would take about 8% of the window before you open a file.
050k100k150k200k context window

1.5k tokens, estimated from the bundle at four bytes to the token, held for the rest of the session once it triggers. Middling. Fine to keep on in a project where you use it weekly, worth unloading in one where you never do.

Servers bill, skills cost

A server charges by the month. A skill charges once per session, in context, and then keeps charging it for as long as the session lives.

Before and after

The same question, put to the same model twice: once as it comes, and once with these instructions loaded.

No worked example has been published for this skill yet.

The procedure it runs

The procedure has not been published here. It is in the skill’s own SKILL.md, which its author has not sent to the marketplace yet.

Prose, not code

These steps are written for a model to follow, not executed by a runtime. It can still be told to skip one, and it will say so when it does.

Servers it uses

None. This skill calls no MCP servers at all.

Everything it needs is in the instructions, so it works in a project with nothing connected — the model reads the file and changes how it works with what it can already reach.

It asks the agent to write files, using whatever file access your client already has. It never touches the network.

What it asks for
Writes filesyes
Network accessno

Read from the allowed-tools line of this skill’s own SKILL.md. A skill grants no permissions of its own — it can only ask for tools your client already has.

What it will not do

Every skill is narrow, and the useful ones say where they stop. These are the jobs this one is the wrong tool for.

What this skill is not for has not been published here. Nothing is implied by that: it is a section the author has not filled in.

What is in the bundle

1 file, 6.0 kB on disk. A bundle is text throughout: the instructions the model reads, plus the templates it fills in.

  • SKILL.md6.0 kB
What is not in it

No dependencies and nothing executable: a skill is text the agent reads, so the bundle is 1 file you can review in full before installing. The MIT licence covers the templates and examples as well as the instructions.

Install

Installing copies the bundle into your project. Nothing runs at install time — the files sit on disk until the model reads them.

Keeps workingfor good — the files are yours once they are on disk
Updatesevery update its author ships, delivered through this account

You can read the whole bundle before paying — the SKILL.md above is the product, not a preview of it. What the money buys is the delivery: the folder packaged and handed to your machine by key, every update its author ships, and our support if it does not do what this listing says. The terms of use are MIT, set by the author and unchanged by buying it here.

Payment runs through Stripe, on a page like this one rather than a redirect. Once there is an account it joins the same mcprush invoice as everything else you run, so there is never a second card to enter.

Which clients pick it up on their own

A skill is a folder of text. A client with a skills folder reads it without being told; everywhere else the same text works, it is just handed to the model rather than found.

Versions

Its author publishes no version number, so there is nothing here to pin to: what you install is the folder as it stands today. Instructions change more often than APIs do — a skill can be rewritten entirely without anything it depends on moving.

Pinning

Nothing to pin to: this skill carries no version number of its own. What you install is what the folder holds on the day you install it.

Reviews

no reviews yet · no installs yet

Nobody has reviewed this skill yet. The rating is the mean of the reviews written here, so there is none until somebody writes the first.

Who can post

Only accounts that have had the skill installed for fourteen days, so a review is written after living with it rather than after reading it. Publishers may reply once.
