Automate Complex Feature Development with Autonomous Goal-Setting commands

Use /goal to let AI agents complete entire technical tasks autonomously.

Deploy the /goal command to initiate autonomous coding sessions where the AI manages sub-tasks and error correction independently.

The Scenario

You need to implement a complex feature like a multi-step checkout form or a data migration script but don't want to babysit the AI through every minor error or file creation.

Before & after

The old way

Manually, you would write a small piece of code, run tests, debug errors, and repeat this cycle for each component of the feature. This typically takes 45–90 minutes for a medium-sized task.

With AI

After using the /goal command, the AI agent autonomously handles sub-tasks, errors, and validation without human input. This reduces the process to 1-2 minutes of oversight while the agent works in the background.

The Prompt

/goal [DESCRIBE_YOUR_CODING_OBJECTIVE_IN_DETAIL]

The /goal feature is designed to keep agents running to completion. It includes an independent judge model to detect impossible goals and ensure the output meets the requirements without constant user prompting.
