Set-and-Forget Complex Tasks with the /goal Orchestrator

Define high-level objectives and let the agent manage execution.

Set a high-level coding target using /goal to let the agent orchestrate the entire workflow from start to finish with automated risk assessment.

The Scenario

You need to implement a complete feature or complex bug fix but don't want to micro-manage the individual steps of the logic.

Before & after

The old way

You would manually break down a feature request into 10 sub-tasks and manually verify each one as you code them, taking 1–2 hours.

With AI

Initialize `/goal` with a specific outcome; an independent judge model tracks progress and auto-approves low-risk steps, completing the task in 2–5 minutes.

The Prompt

/goal [DESCRIBE_YOUR_FINAL_DESIRED_OUTCOME_IN_DETAIL]

The /goal command uses an independent judge model to determine completion and can automatically abandon tasks if it detects they are impossible, saving you from dead-end loops.
