Goal

/goal pins a session-scoped objective so long work keeps a clear north star.

Use it when the task is bigger than one prompt and has a clear success condition, but you do not want a separate project-management system.

Commands

Command Description
/goal <objective> Set the current goal
/goal Show the active goal and how it relates to todos and auto-continuation
/goal clear Clear the current goal
/goal from <interview> Set the goal from an existing interview markdown spec

Examples:

/goal Add lightweight goals. Done when UX, docs, and tests are complete.
/goal from kanban-design-tool
/goal clear

How it fits with other features

Interview → Goal → Todos → Auto-continuation → Delegation → Verify
  • Goal is the why and definition of done.
  • Todos are the execution ledger.
  • Auto-continuation keeps executing unfinished todos when enabled.
  • Interview turns a rough idea into a markdown spec that can become a goal.
  • Task/delegation inherits the parent goal as context, while each delegated prompt remains the bounded task.

Important behavior

Goal does not run anything by itself. It only reminds the orchestrator and child sessions what the session is trying to achieve.

Auto-continuation remains todo-driven:

Goal alone never causes continuation.
Only incomplete todos trigger auto-continuation.

This keeps the feature slim: one pinned objective, no dashboard, no second todo system, and no project-global state.
