<aside> 🎯

Document purpose: Make ISAC forward-thinking so conversations can end while goals continue.

Document status: Architecture/design specification. Current implementation status is controlled by the roadmap and stage evidence.

Persistent Goals

Goals should include owner, priority, status, deadline if relevant, dependencies, progress, linked memories and allowed initiative level.

Goal Types

Autonomy Levels

Level Meaning
Observe Watch only.
Suggest Surface useful next actions.
Prepare Gather information or prepare non-destructive work.
Act Perform previously authorised actions under GCF governance.

Forward Thinking

Use current goals, World Model, relevant memories, prediction and cognitive economy to decide whether something is worth surfacing.

Interruption Policy

Low-value observations stay silent. Useful non-urgent items wait for a good moment. Important issues are raised before the user proceeds. Critical issues can interrupt appropriately.

Informed Opinions

ISAC may prefer one approach over another when evidence, predicted success, cost, history and user goals justify it. Opinions must remain explainable and must not override governance.
