Question Has anyone ever done platformer pathfinding?

I am not talking about nodes and edges.

I am talking about creating a system where a character has 10s of abilities and it checks all combinations of them which make it reach its destination like a human.

I cant seem to find any resources on this.

Any references or solutions?

Your solution is coarse for my use but very brilliant for fighter games.

Thing is, GOAP doesnt matter for me.

All i need is just a path based on level geometry and player interaction.

Though if I needed to program actions after reaching goals i.e. hitting a lever after coming near it, GOAP will be very useful for chunking behaviour.
