Telos Goal Definition

Telos (from the Greek word for 'end' or 'purpose') is an epistemic protocol for Claude Code designed to resolve goal indeterminacy before execution begins. Rather than simply extracting requirements, Telos uses a 'Construction over Extraction' approach where Claude proposes concrete end states, success metrics, boundaries, and priorities for the user to shape. This collaborative process builds a robust GoalContract, ensuring that both the AI and the user are perfectly aligned on what success looks like, which significantly reduces rework and misaligned implementations in complex software tasks.
