# 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
