Create New Goal

Guided creation of a cross-session goal that persists across sessions.

IMPORTANT: This is an executable skill

When invoked, execute the steps below. Don't just explain - DO it.

Step 1: Gather Info

Ask the user for:

1. Title (short, descriptive): e.g., "Add source annotation tracking"
2. Objective (1-3 sentences): What does success look like?

If the user provided these with the command (e.g., /context-daddy:goal-new "Add auth" "Implement OAuth2 login flow"), skip the questions.

Step 2: Create the Goal

Use the goal_create MCP tool:

goal_create(title="TITLE", objective="OBJECTIVE")

Note the goal ID and slug from the response.

Step 3: Add Plan Steps

Ask the user for their plan steps. If they have a rough plan, help refine it into discrete, checkable steps.

For each step, use the goal_add_step MCP tool:

goal_add_step(id="<goal-id>", description="Step description")

The first step created replaces the default "Define plan steps" placeholder.

You can specify a custom step ID with step_id or insert at a position with after:

goal_add_step(id="<goal-id>", description="Step description", step_id="custom-id", after="previous-step-id")

Step 4: Link Related Projects (Optional)

If the goal spans multiple projects, ask which other projects are involved:

goal_link_project(id="<goal-id>", path="/path/to/other-project", role="dependency")

Step 5: Confirm

Show the final goal using goal_show(id="<goal-id>").

Tell the user:

• The goal is now active and will appear in future sessions
• Use /context-daddy:goal-focus to set which step to work on
• Use /context-daddy:goal-done to mark steps complete
• Use /context-daddy:goal to manage goals
