Goal Kit Documentation

Welcome to the Goal Kit documentation. Goal Kit implements Goal-Driven Development, a methodology that focuses on outcomes and learning rather than detailed upfront specifications.

Quick Start

1. Set Vision: Establish your project vision and principles
2. Define Goals: Create measurable goals with success criteria
3. Explore Strategies: Consider multiple approaches for each goal
4. Plan Milestones: Break goals into measurable progress steps
5. Execute & Learn: Implement with continuous adaptation

Key Concepts

Goal-Driven Development

Goal-Driven Development (GDD) focuses on outcomes over specifications. While traditional development creates detailed specifications that generate specific implementations, GDD starts with high-level goals and explores multiple strategies to achieve them.

Key Principles

• Outcome-driven: Focus on what success looks like, not how to achieve it
• Flexible strategy exploration: Multiple approaches exist for any goal
• Measurable progress: All work contributes to measurable success metrics
• Adaptive execution: Plans as hypotheses, not contracts
• Learning integration: Implementation as hypothesis testing
