Hivemind Goals — CLI only (Hermes)

⚠️ CRITICAL: On this runtime (Hermes), you MUST use the hivemind shell CLI for goals. DO NOT use write_file on ~/.deeplake/memory/goal/... paths — those writes go to the local filesystem and never reach the team-shared hivemind_goals table. Other team members will NOT see them.

The hivemind-memory skill describes a generic memory layout — it does NOT apply to goals. For goals, use the CLI below.

Commands (invoke via terminal tool)

hivemind goal add "<text>"                                  # create goal, prints goal_id
hivemind goal list [--mine|--all]                           # list (default --mine)
hivemind goal done <goal_id>                                # mark closed
hivemind goal progress <goal_id> <opened|in_progress|closed>

Workflow when the user expresses a goal

1. hivemind goal add "<short description>" — capture stdout, that's the goal_id (UUID).
2. Tell the user the goal_id and that it is now team-visible in Deeplake.

Capture a task for later (with resumable context)

When the user parks a tangential task mid-session — "save this for later", "remind me to …", "don't let me forget …", "let's do X later" — store enough context to resume cold later, not just a one-liner. Tag it --agent capture so parked side-tasks are separable from hand-made goals:

hivemind goal add --agent capture "Add rate-limiting to the webhook handler

Start here: add a per-IP token bucket on the handler entry path
Files: src/webhook/handler.ts:120-160, src/webhook/limits.ts
Branch: feat/webhook-hardening
Run: pnpm test webhook
Why: bursty clients hammer the endpoint; defer until retry-backoff lands"

Line 1 is the label (what goal list shows). Fill Start here / Files / Branch / Run / Why from the conversation; Start here: matters most. Pass the whole package as one double-quoted argument so the newlines are preserved.

Resume a parked task (automatic context transfer)

When the user says "let's work on that task / goal" or "pick up the <X> task":

1. hivemind goal list --mine — match the user's reference to a goal_id.
2. hivemind goal get <goal_id> — prints the full package (goal list shows only the first line, so always use goal get). Read it as your working context.
3. hivemind goal progress <goal_id> in_progress — mark it started.
4. Begin from Start here: using the Files / Branch / Run lines. Continue as if the context was never lost.

What NOT to do

• Do NOT call write_file on any path under ~/.deeplake/memory/goal/.
• Do NOT do mkdir / cat > to create those files manually via terminal.

If the user wants to inspect goals you created, run hivemind goal list --mine (terminal) and present the output.
