Own Goal

Save the current session's goal to the goals org file at /Users/alice/v/goals-119.org. Each entry gets an auto-incremented rank, a theme classification, TODO state, and a task checklist.

Usage

When the user says /own-goal or asks to "save own goal", do this:

1. Run scripts/next-rank.sh to get the next rank number
2. Ask the user for a one-line goal summary (or infer from session context)
3. Classify into a theme from the table below
4. Choose a TODO state: STARTED, IN_PROGRESS, SUBSTANTIAL, ABANDONED, or COMPLETED
5. Append the org entry to /Users/alice/v/goals-119.org before the * Cross-References section
