Planning Goal

Quick Start

# Define goal state and current state
Current: {code_written: true, tests_written: false, deployed: false}
Goal: {deployed: true, monitoring: true}

# GOAP generates optimal plan:
1. write_tests -> tests_written: true
2. run_tests -> tests_passed: true
3. build_application -> built: true
4. deploy_application -> deployed: true
5. setup_monitoring -> monitoring: true

When to Use

• Complex multi-step tasks with dependencies requiring optimal ordering
• High-level goals needing systematic breakdown into concrete actions
• Deployment workflows with many prerequisites
• Refactoring projects requiring incremental, safe transformations
• Any task where conditions must be met before actions can execute

Prerequisites

• Clear definition of current state (what is true now)
• Clear definition of goal state (what should be true)
• Available actions with known preconditions and effects
