Aegis Goal Framing
Use this skill to create a thin goal frame before execution. It is opt-in and
boundary-setting only.
Do not use it for tiny edits, one-command checks, or ordinary fast-path Q&A
unless the user explicitly asks for /aegis-goal or Aegis goal:.
Authority Boundary

Input Forms
Treat these as equivalent:
/aegis-goal <task description>
Aegis goal: <task description>
"Define the goal / stop condition before we start"
Slash commands are optional host shortcuts. The natural-language form is the
portable fallback.
Example:
Aegis goal: Fix the auth refresh bug without rewriting the auth system.
