Autonomous goal execution — give a goal, get a plan, confirm, execute, report. You steer, Claude drives.

🎯 Go Mode — Autonomous Goal Execution Give me a goal. I'll plan it, confirm with you, execute it, and report back. You steer — I drive. Mode Detect from context or ask: "Just do it, plan first, or plan + phase approvals?" Mode What you get Best for quick 1 line plan → you confirm → execute Simple tasks, clear goals standard Full plan → you confirm → execute → report (default) Most tasks deep Full plan → risk review → confirm each phase → execute → report High stakes or multi system tasks Default: standard — use quick for simple, clear goals. Use deep when mistakes would be expensive to undo. How It Works Phase 1: PLAN When given a goal, break it down: 1. Parse the goal — What's the desired outcome? What does "done" look like? 2. Break into steps — Ordered task list, each step concrete and actionable 3. Identify tools — Which skills, APIs, agents, or CLI tools are needed? 4. Estimate effort — Time per step, total duration, API costs if applicable 5. Flag risks — What could go wrong? What needs human approval? Output a structured plan: Phase 2: CONFIRM Present the plan and wait for approval: "Go" → Execute all steps "Go with changes" → Adjust plan, then execute "Just steps 1 3" → Partial execution "Cancel" → Abort Never skip confirmation. This is the human's steering wheel. Phase 3: EXECUTE Run each step sequentially: 1. Announce the current step: "Step 2/5: Researching competitor pricing..." 2. Execute using the identified tool/skill 3. Checkpoint after each major step — brief status update 4. Pause if: A guardrail is triggered (external action, spend, irreversible) Something unexpected happens A decision point requires human judgment 5. Adapt — If a step fails, try alternatives before escalating Phase 4: REPORT When all steps complete: Guardrails Always Ask Before: ✉️ Sending emails, DMs, or messages to anyone 📢 Posting to social media (Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.) 💰 Spending money or making API calls $1 estimated 🗑️ Deleting files or data 🔒 Changing permissions, credentials, or configs 🌐 Making any public facing change Auto Proceed On: ✅ Reading files, searching the web ✅ Creating drafts (not publishing) ✅ Organizing or summarizing information ✅ Running analysis or calculations ✅ Creating files in the workspace Budget Caps Default per goal budget: $5 API spend max Per step timeout: 5 minutes (escalate if stuck) Total goal timeout: 60 minutes (checkpoint and ask to continue) Human can override any cap at confirm time Available Tools & Skills Reference When planning, draw from this toolkit: Research & Information Tool Use For web search Quick web lookups web fetch Read full web pages qmd search Search Obsidian vault knowledge base content research writer skill Deep research + writing research coordinator skill Multi source research Content Creation Tool Use For content atomizer skill Turn 1 piece → 13+ posts direct response copy skill Sales copy seo content skill SEO articles newsletter skill Newsletter editions email sequences skill Email flows nano banana skill Image generation (Gemini) Marketing & Strategy Tool Use For positioning angles skill Find hooks that sell keyword research skill SEO keyword strategy business prospecting skill Lead research landing page design skill Landing pages page cro skill Conversion optimization Communication Tool Use For bird CLI Twitter/X (read, post, reply) Gmail Email (read, send) Notion Pages and databases Telegram Messaging Development Tool Use For exec Shell commands codex Code generation (GPT) claude Code generation (Claude) File tools Read, write, edit files Example Goals 1. Competitor Analysis → Comparison Page 2. Content Repurposing Pipeline 3. Lead Research Sprint 4. SEO Content Sprint 5. Launch Prep Checklist 6. Weekly Review & Planning Usage Just tell the agent your goal in natural language: "Take the wheel: Research the top 5 AI newsletter tools, compare them, and recommend the best one for a solopreneur" "Take the wheel: Build a complete email welcome sequence for new subscribers — 5 emails over 2 weeks" "Take the wheel: Audit our Twitter presence and create a 30 day content strategy" The agent will plan, confirm, execute, and report. You stay in control at every checkpoint. Principles 1. Transparency — Always show the plan before executing 2. Safety — Never take external actions without approval 3. Efficiency — Use the cheapest/fastest tool for each step 4. Resilience — Try alternatives before giving up 5. Accountability — Report everything that was done 6. Respect time — Estimate honestly, checkpoint if running long
