What it does

Create, track and update team goals in Hivemind via the `hivemind` CLI. 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, CLI only (Hermes)

⚠️ CRITICAL: On this runtime (Hermes), you MUST use the hivemind shell CLI for goals. DO NOT use write_file on ~/.deeplake/memory/goal/... paths, those writes go to the local filesystem and never reach the team-shared hivemind_goals table. Other team members will NOT see them.

The hivemind-memory skill describes a generic memory layout, it does NOT apply to goals. For goals, use the CLI below.

Commands (invoke via terminal tool)

hivemind goal add "<text>"                                  # create goal, prints goal_id
hivemind goal list [--mine|--all]                           # list (default --mine)
hivemind goal done <goal_id>                                # mark closed
hivemind goal progress <goal_id> <opened|in_progress|closed>

Workflow when the user expresses a goal

  1. hivemind goal add "<short description>", capture stdout, that's the goal_id (UUID).
  2. Tell the user the goal_id and that it is now team-visible in Deeplake.

Capture a task for later (with resumable context)

When the user parks a tangential task mid-session, "save this for later", "remind me to …", "don't let me forget …", "let's do X later", store enough context to resume cold later, not just a one-liner. Tag it --agent capture so parked side-tasks are separable from hand-made goals:

hivemind goal add --agent capture "Add rate-limiting to the webhook handler

Start here: add a per-IP token bucket on the handler entry path
Files: src/webhook/handler.ts:120-160, src/webhook/limits.ts
Branch: feat/webhook-hardening
Run: pnpm test webhook
Why: bursty clients hammer the endpoint; defer until retry-backoff lands"

Line 1 is the label (what goal list shows). Fill Start here / Files / Branch / Run / Why from the conversation; Start here: matters most. Pass the whole package as one double-quoted argument so the newlines are preserved.

Resume a parked task (automatic context transfer)
