Command reference · Claude Code

/goal

Sets a goal: Claude keeps working across multiple turns until the condition is met.

/goal [condition|clear] sets a completion condition that Claude pursues across multiple turns without each step needing to be triggered again. After each turn, a small, fast model (Haiku by default) checks against the conversation whether the condition is met; if not, another turn begins automatically. Once the condition is met, the goal is automatically cleared. Without an argument, the command shows the current or most recently reached goal along with turn count and token consumption. clear, stop, off, reset, none, and cancel remove an active goal early. A goal doesn't change permissions - in default mode, Claude still asks before tool calls that aren't already allowed; for unattended turns, /goal can be combined with auto mode. Only one goal is active per session at a time; a newly set one replaces an existing one. The check is based purely on what Claude has made visible in the conversation so far - the evaluator doesn't call any tools itself and doesn't re-read files.
