+# Telos goal module (`lib_telos_goals.metta`) — optional
+
+OmegaClaw is goal-autonomous but the public core ships no dedicated, inspectable model of
+*what the goals are* (no `goal` token in `run.metta` / `lib_omegaclaw.metta`). This optional
+module adds one in OmegaClaw's own idiom: AtomSpace atoms + parameterized derivation rules.
+
+It is **opt-in** and **side-effect-free on load** (nothing runs at import).
+
+## Schema
+
+```
+(goal <id> <scope> <owner> <status>)   ; scope: individual | collective
+                                       ; status: active | proposed | achieved | abandoned
+(rel  <type> <src> <dst>)              ; type: supports | conflicts | subsumes | depends-on
+```
+
+## Use
+
+Load it, then have the agent assert goal/rel atoms it inferred from what it is reading and
+call the rules via the `metta` skill:
+
+```metta
+!(import! &self (library OmegaClaw-Core lib_telos_goals))
+
+(goal alice-train      individual alice active)
+(goal dao-fair-access  collective dao   active)
+(rel  conflicts alice-train dao-fair-access)
+
+!(telos-conflicts)        ; -> (conflict-between alice-train dao-fair-access)
+!(telos-collective-goals) ; -> (collective-goal dao-fair-access dao)
+!(telos-reading)          ; all lenses at once
+```
+
+Rules available: `telos-conflicts`, `telos-collective-goals`, `telos-goals-of`,
+`telos-achieved`, `telos-blocked`, `telos-aligned`, `telos-reading`.
+
+## Verified
+
+Loads on the standalone Hyperon interpreter and in a **live OmegaClaw (PeTTa) runtime** — the
+conflict rule derives `(conflict-between alice-train dao-fair-access)` inside the running
+agent's AtomSpace.
+
+## Why / measuring it
+
+Goal *misunderstanding* (pursuing the literal request and missing the real goal, serving one
+person while externalising cost onto the group, chasing an abandoned goal) is where an
+autonomous agent is most dangerous and is rarely measured. This module is paired with a
+14-scenario / 7-category goal-understanding **benchmark** that can score OmegaClaw or any
+agent: https://github.com/arielagor/telos (MIT, same licence as OmegaClaw). Contributed from
+the BGI Sprint I project "Telos".

+; ============================================================================
+; lib_telos_goals — an optional goal-representation module for OmegaClaw
+; ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+; OmegaClaw is goal-autonomous (it creates goals, pursues them, tracks progress),
+; but the public core ships no dedicated, inspectable model of *what the goals are*:
+; a grep of this repo finds no `goal` token in run.metta / lib_omegaclaw.metta. This
+; module adds one, in OmegaClaw's own idiom — AtomSpace atoms + derivation rules — so
+; an agent can represent individual vs collective goals, surface conflicts, and reason
+; about alignment.
+;
+; It is OPT-IN and SIDE-EFFECT-FREE on load (no queries run at import): it only defines
+; the schema contract + parameterized rules. The agent (its LLM layer) materialises goal
+; atoms from what it is reading, then calls these rules via the `metta` skill.
+;
+; Verified: loads on the standalone Hyperon interpreter AND in a live OmegaClaw runtime
+; (PeTTa) — the conflict rule derives (conflict-between alice-train dao-fair-access) in the
+; running agent's AtomSpace. Contributed from the BGI Sprint I project "Telos"
+; (https://github.com/arielagor/telos), which also ships a 14-scenario goal-understanding
+; benchmark you can run against OmegaClaw.
+;
+; Schema (atoms the agent asserts into &self while reading):
+;   (goal <id> <scope> <owner> <status>)   scope: individual | collective
+;                                          status: active | proposed | achieved | abandoned
+;   (rel  <type> <src> <dst>)              type: supports | conflicts | subsumes | depends-on
+;
+; Load with:  !(import! &self (library OmegaClaw-Core lib_telos_goals))
+; ============================================================================
+
+; All conflict pairs the agent must surface (across ALL goals).
+(= (telos-conflicts)
+   (match &self (rel conflicts $a $b) (conflict-between $a $b)))
+
+; Every collective goal (what the commons wants).
+(= (telos-collective-goals)
+   (match &self (goal $g collective $owner $status) (collective-goal $g $owner)))
+
+; Goals owned by ANY given stakeholder (individual goal understanding).
+(= (telos-goals-of $owner)
+   (match &self (goal $g individual $owner $status) (goal-of $owner $g)))
+
+; A goal is ACHIEVED when its status atom says so.
+(= (telos-achieved $g)
+   (match &self (goal $g $scope $owner achieved) True))
+
+; BLOCKED: a goal that depends-on another goal that is not yet achieved.
+(= (telos-blocked)
+   (match &self (rel depends-on $g $dep)
+      (match &self (goal $dep $s2 $o2 $st2)
+         (if (== $st2 achieved) (empty) (blocked $g on $dep)))))
+
+; Cross-level ALIGNMENT: an individual goal that SUPPORTS a collective goal.
+(= (telos-aligned)
+   (match &self (rel supports $i $c)
+      (match &self (goal $i individual $o1 $s1)
+         (match &self (goal $c collective $o2 $s2)
+            (aligns $i with $c)))))
+
+; A full goal reading: run every lens. Call after asserting the goal/rel atoms.
+(= (telos-reading)
+   (superpose ((telos-conflicts)
+               (telos-collective-goals)
+               (telos-blocked)
