Long-Horizon Skill

Summary

Designs and manages long-horizon plans that remain coherent across extended workflows and changing conditions.

Definition

Plans over long time horizons by sequencing milestones, preserving strategic intent, and adapting execution while minimizing drift and compounding risk.

Inputs

• strategic goals
• multi-phase constraints
• resource forecasts
• dependency graph

Outputs

• long-horizon plan
• milestone checkpoints
• replanning triggers

Required Capabilities

• multi-stage decomposition
• risk-aware sequencing
• progressive replanning

Failure Modes

• short-term optimization overrides long-term objective
• milestone drift without detection
• resource depletion due to horizon misestimation

Evaluation Questions

• Does the plan preserve strategic intent across milestones?
• Are long-range dependencies and contingencies represented?
• Are replanning triggers explicit and testable?

Evaluation Signals

• milestone completion stability
• reduced long-horizon plan churn
• improved objective attainment over extended runs

Example Tasks

• Plan and steer a multi-quarter automation rollout with periodic replanning gates
