Symptom
Run the renderer against the as-shipped v5.0.0 sample template:
bun ~/.claude/PAI/TOOLS/GenerateTelosSummary.ts
In the generated PRINCIPAL_TELOS.md:
G2 (under ## Active in the template) → output as Deferred
- All
## Deferred / Ongoing items (the no-ID bullets like - (sample) Maintain a 3x/week strength routine ...) → silently dropped
- All
## Completed This Year items (also no-ID bullets) → silently dropped
So a fresh user running the bootstrap loses two of the three sections from the summary entirely, and the one that survives mis-classifies the third Active goal.
Root cause
In Releases/v5.0.0/.claude/PAI/TOOLS/GenerateTelosSummary.ts:
-
L53 regex requires an ID:
const match = line.match(/^-\s+\*?\*?(\w+)\*?\*?:\s*(.+)/);
Plain bullets without **ID**: (the form used by the Deferred / Ongoing and Completed This Year sections in the shipped template) don't match — they're dropped before classification.
-
L73-94 classifier uses an ID-number heuristic and ignores section headers:
// Goals with IDs G9+ are 2026 goals based on the file structure
if (num >= 9 || [0, 1].includes(num)) {
active.push(...)
} else {
deferred.push(...)
}
parseItems is line-based with no awareness of ## Active, ## Deferred / Ongoing, or ## Completed This Year headers. So G2 from the template's ## Active block lands in deferred purely because 2 is not in [0, 1] and not >= 9.
Open question
The classifier in Releases/v5.0.0/.claude/PAI/TOOLS/GenerateTelosSummary.ts (lines 73-94):
// Goals with IDs G9+ are 2026 goals based on the file structure (L77)
if (num >= 9 || [0, 1].includes(num)) {
active.push(...)
} else {
deferred.push(...)
}
looks like it encodes a personal goal-numbering convention — G0/G1 for foundational/long-term, G9+ for current-year milestones, the mid-range for deferred. The comment "based on the file structure" suggests this came from a specific author's GOALS.md, not a framework convention. The shipped template at Releases/v5.0.0/.claude/PAI/USER/TELOS/GOALS.md doesn't follow it (uses G0/G1/G2 under ## Active).
Two questions:
- Is this convention intentional and meant for all PAI users? If yes, it should be documented (template comment, README,
/interview prompts) so users know to number active goals starting at G9.
- Or should
parseGoals honor the section headers (## Active / ## Deferred / Ongoing / ## Completed This Year) instead of guessing from IDs? That makes the convention self-documenting in the file itself.
Either direction works — happy to bundle a PR once the call is made.
