/goal for Claude Code: persistent tasks with adversarial review

The /goal command for Claude Code lets you set a persistent long task that keeps Claude working across many turns without stopping, and then double-checks the work at the end. By default, a second, independent Claude session reviews the result — so Claude can't just claim it's done.

Use Cases

• Building something from a spec: paste the requirements, walk away, come back when every item is actually implemented.
• "Keep going until the tests pass": Claude can't cheat by deleting failing tests, because the reviewer compares the repo against the original goal.
• Long research or prototype sessions: one goal keeps Claude going for hours instead of stopping after each turn.

Configuration

You can set an optional soft token budget, e.g. --tokens 250K, to tell Claude to wrap up when that budget is spent.

Audit strictness is configurable:

• adversarial (default) — a separate Claude session reviews the work
• self — Claude reviews itself (faster and free)
• off — no review

Switch with: /goal config set audit.mode <value>
