 For clarity: SkriptLang's Skript implementation will be referred to as 'original' or 'minecraft' Skript.

 ### Goals
 
-1. Provide a more efficient, compiled alternative to original Skript.
-2. Provide a stricter, stronger interpretation of the language.
-3. Provide a version of Skript with no built-in domain dependencies.
-4. Provide a version of Skript applicable to multiple domains.
+1. Provide a more efficient, compiled alternative to original Skript.\
+   Code will be compiled to JVM bytecode, with efficiency approaching or exceeding bytecode produced by `javac`.
+2. Provide a stricter, stronger interpretation of the Skript language.\
+   Structures and language elements follow stricter rules to prevent inconsistency.
+3. Provide a version of Skript with no built-in domain dependencies.\
+   No third-party libraries should be required to run scripts.
+4. Provide a version of Skript applicable to multiple domains.\
+   An extensible API should be provided to allow creation of syntax libraries.
 
 ### Non-goals
 
-1. Not a replacement of the original Skript.
-2. Provide no built-in domain-specific functionality.
-3. No alteration to language fundamentals.
+1. Not a replacement of the original Skript.\
+   There will be no built-in minecraft functionality.
+2. Provide no built-in domain-specific functionality.\
+   The built-in Skript language library will have no syntax for third-party libraries or domains.\
+   A minecraft server will not be required to run scripts.
+3. No alteration to language fundamentals.\
+   The layout, look, readability and core language components should keep parity with original Skript.\
+   Some small changes will be made to improve readability and compile accuracy.
 
 Skript is designed to be beginner-friendly. Ideally, a user with no experience should be able to read Skript code and understand its function. All instructions are written in basic English, avoiding niche programming terms and symbols wherever possible.
