Bounded Goal Cascade is a skill package for Codex, the coding agent platform, not an app you run on its own. It defines a workflow for handling a large task by breaking it into smaller, clearly bounded pieces that get handed off to separate workers one at a time. The core idea is that a single controller owns a big outcome from start to finish. Instead of trying to do everything in one long pass, the controller splits the work into native goal units, each one small enough to verify on its own. It then dispatches a fresh worker for each unit, checks the resulting artifacts directly rather than trusting a summary, integrates each finished piece in sequence, and closes the whole effort with a ledger or a handoff document. The README says this approach fits situations with many files, many pull requests, or many changing states, where a short summary from a worker is not enough proof that the job was done correctly. The skill is meant to stand on its own, but it is designed to pair with two related skills by the same author: one for writing precise goal instructions, and one for running bounded review, fix, and verify loops between a reviewer and an implementer. If those companion skills are not installed, the repository still includes a basic worker handoff structure to fall back on. The repository itself is small. It holds a SKILL.md file that spells out the workflow, plus a small metadata file that lets Codex display the skill correctly. To use it, you clone or copy the repository into your local Codex skills folder, then restart Codex or reload its skills so it picks up the new one. The project describes itself as a public skill package, and the README states plainly that no license is specified in the repository, so anyone wanting to reuse or redistribute it should check with the author first.
