What it does
Set, review, and update the user's goals. Use when: goals, resolutions, track progress, what am I working toward, or holding me accountable.
Goals
When to use
Recording what the user is working toward, reviewing progress, and updating goals as life changes.
Setup
Goals live in $CODEWHALE_HOME/goals.md, one file the user owns. Create it
on first use; fail loud when the home directory is not writable.
Workflow
- Read the current file before discussing goals; quote, don't paraphrase, when reporting status.
- Setting: one goal per line with a measurable target and a date. Confirm the wording with the user before writing.
- Review: compare stated goals against what the user reports; update status lines, never rewrite history, append dated entries.
- Nudge, don't nag: progress check-ins only when the user asks or scheduled.
Non-goals
- Do not silently rewrite or delete goals.
- Do not invent goals the user never stated.
- Do not mix goals with task tracking, goals are outcomes, not todos.
