A developer has created "ballast," a goal-completion framework designed to work with Claude Code, functioning as a plugin with markdown-based skills. This framework aims to improve the reliability and consistency of AI-generated code and tasks by implementing a structured process that includes mobilizing existing resources, decomposing goals, verifying outputs, and rehearsing before execution. Ballast also incorporates a rule-based system to enforce specific constraints, such as requiring cost estimates before execution, and stores decisions and facts in an append-only ledger for persistent knowledge.
