Goal-Oriented Action Planning/ GOAP

Lightweight STRIPS-style planner that chains actions by precondition and effect.

Definition

GOAP represents the world as facts, actions as preconditions and effects, and goals as desired fact sets, then searches for an action sequence achieving the goal. GOAP is a popular middle ground between FSMs and full HTN planners for tactical autonomy because it tolerates dynamic worlds and supports re-planning under change.
