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

  1. Read the current file before discussing goals; quote, don't paraphrase, when reporting status.
  2. Setting: one goal per line with a measurable target and a date. Confirm the wording with the user before writing.
  3. Review: compare stated goals against what the user reports; update status lines, never rewrite history — append dated entries.
  4. 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.
