What it does

Create, track and update team goals via the Deeplake virtual filesystem at memory/goal/. Use whenever the user mentions a goal, objective, target, milestone, or asks to track progress on something measurable. ALSO use when the user says "task", "todo", "work item", "remind me to", "fix X", or any actionable work item, the goal system replaced the legacy `hivemind tasks` CLI and now covers both objectives and tasks.

Hivemind Goals

Track goals as Markdown files inside the Deeplake virtual filesystem. Each file is one row in a dedicated team-shared table, the path encodes the structural metadata, the file body holds the human-readable description.

When to use this skill

Activate when the user expresses any of:

  • "I want to track X / aim for X / track my progress on Y"
  • "add a goal", "what are my goals?"
  • "mark this as done", "close that goal"
  • "shipping X by Friday", "5 PRs this week", any measurable target
  • "create a task", "add a todo", "remind me to fix X", any work item (the goals system absorbs the old hivemind tasks CLI, there is no separate task store)

For "list my goals" → run ls ~/.deeplake/memory/goal/<userName>/opened/ and ls ~/.deeplake/memory/goal/<userName>/in_progress/. If empty, ask the user if they want to create one.

Path conventions (LEARN THESE)

~/.deeplake/memory/goal/<owner>/<status>/<goal_id>.md
  • <owner>, user identifier (use the userName from hivemind whoami or the credentials)
  • <status>, one of opened, in_progress, closed
  • <goal_id>, UUIDv4 you generate at create time

Path encoding is the source of truth. The owner, status, and goal_id come from the path, NOT from the file body. Do NOT write owner/status/goal_id inside the file content.

File body format

Goal file body, plain markdown, free form:

Notes: route every write through the VFS, no separate CLI.

The first line is the human-readable label (what goal list and the SessionStart banner show). Anything else is free notes.
