formulate-top-goal
Purpose
Formalize a research goal as an outcome, desired effect, and explicit constraints.
Input contract
required: [research_intent]
optional: [actor_profile, constraints, evidence_context]
constraints: [goal wording must identify an observable outcome and relevant boundary conditions]
Procedure
1. State the outcome that should change and the desired direction of change. 2. Identify scope, actors, resources, time, and non-negotiable constraints. 3. Separate goal content from proposed methods and assumptions. 4. Emit a testable top-goal statement with unresolved choices.
If the top goal has explicit success conditions but remains too broad to execute, consider `decompose-and-or-goal` as the next tactic.
Output contract
produces: [top_goal, desired_effect, constraint_set, goal_assumptions, open_goal_questions]
delta_fields: [findings, hypothesis_updates, assumption_updates, decisions, uncertainties, open_questions]
Quality gates
- Outcome and desired direction are observable.
- Constraints are not hidden in method wording.
Failure and counterexamples
Do not accept "understand the topic" as a top goal without an outcome or decision target.
Provenance map
- `resolved: formulate-top-goal`
