 ```text
-Do you want to set up a visual board for this?
+Do you want the local GoalBuddy board for this goal?
 ```
 
 Recommended options:
 
 1. Local live board (Recommended) - starts immediately, requires no credentials, and lets the user watch tasks populate inside Codex or Claude Code.
-2. GitHub Projects - best when stakeholders need a shared external board and the user can approve GitHub credentials/project details.
-3. No visual board - best for quick or private goals where the file board is enough.
+2. No visual board - best for quick or private goals where the file board is enough.
 
 If the user chooses the local live board, create the goal directory, `notes/`, and an initial minimal `state.yaml` as soon as the slug is known, then run `npx goalbuddy board docs/goals/<slug>` and open the printed local URL in the AI coding agent's in-app browser (the Codex in-app Browser, the Claude Code preview, or the user's regular browser). The default local hub is `http://goalbuddy.localhost:41737/`, and board URLs normally look like `http://goalbuddy.localhost:41737/<slug>/`. In short: start the local board before filling the task list so the board pops up right away and cards populate live as `state.yaml` changes. Include the printed board URL in the final prep response as an actual clickable Markdown link, for example `[Open GoalBuddy board](http://goalbuddy.localhost:41737/<slug>/)`. Do not put the board URL only in a code block, quote, HTML comment, or prose that the UI cannot click.
 
-If the user chooses GitHub Projects, ask for approval and the required project target before any live write. Create or sync the GitHub Project at the same early point as the local board: after the goal root and skeleton `state.yaml` exist, before the detailed task list is finished, then sync again as tasks populate. Run a dry-run sync first when possible. Missing GitHub credentials or project details should not block local board creation or goal prep; record the missing requirement in `visual_board.github_projects` and seed a PM setup task.
+If the user wants an external board, GitHub sync, Slack digest, Linear handoff, or any other custom integration, do not install a GoalBuddy catalog item. Treat it as normal implementation work: create a concrete task that designs and verifies that integration inside the target repo or asks the operator for the required credentials and scope.
 
 Ask before board creation when the request is vague, strategic, improvement-oriented, or open-ended and the user has not explicitly said to use defaults. Ask one guided question at a time with 2-3 options and a recommended default, then wait. Continue the diagnostic intake until the user's answers are sufficient to choose the board shape.

+## Goal Oracle
+
+The oracle for this goal is:
+
+`<specific observable signal>`
+
+The PM must keep comparing task receipts to this oracle. Planning, discovery, a passing tiny slice, or a clean-looking board is not enough. The goal finishes only when a final Judge/PM audit maps receipts and verification back to this oracle and records `full_outcome_complete: true`.
+
