⚡ Overview & The Problem

Complex engineering tasks require multi-step autonomy: decomposing high-level objectives into milestones, executing successive iterations without manual user re-prompting, and maintaining clear visibility into task progress.

@goodandready/dsh-goal brings autonomous goal execution to DeepSeek Harness via the /goal command:

• 🎯 Sticky Top Goal Banner: Pinned status header with live timer (• 2s, • 1m 45s), active goal title, and interactive control buttons.
• ⏸️ Play / Pause / Cancel: Instantly pause the autonomous loop or resume execution on demand.
• 📋 Milestone Breakdown Drawer: Interactive checklist showing sub-tasks, percentage completion, and iteration logs.
• 🤖 Autonomous Agent Tools: Provides goal_set_milestones, goal_update_progress, and goal_finish tools directly to the agent.
• 🛡️ Safety Guardrails: Configurable maxIterations limit to prevent runaway loops.

💬 Usage & Quick Start

Start a goal directly in chat:

/goal Refactor the authentication middleware and add integration tests

Or trigger via REST API:

curl -X POST http://localhost:3080/dsh-goal/action \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"action":"start","title":"Optimize database queries"}'
