hivemind-goals

Create, track and update team goals via the Deeplake virtual filesystem at memory/goal/. Use whenever the user mentions a goal, objective, target, milestone, or asks to track progress on something measurable. ALSO use when the user says "task", "todo", "work item", "remind me to", "fix X", or any actionable work item — the goal system replaced the legacy `hivemind tasks` CLI and now covers both objectives and tasks.

Quality

Content

82%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

A strong, highly actionable skill body: every operation has exact executable commands, non-obvious system conventions (path-as-source-of-truth, VFS routing) are taught concisely, and constraints are explicit. The gaps are minor — a repeated rationale, no explicit post-write verification, and capture/resume content that could move to a reference file.

Suggestions

State the 'Write/Edit are denied on memory paths; only Bash is intercepted' rationale once (e.g. in a short 'VFS write rules' note) instead of repeating it in §1, §1a, and §3.

Add a verification step after create/edit (e.g. `cat` the file or `ls` the status folder to confirm the row landed) to close the feedback loop on writes.

Consider moving §1a/§1b (capture and resume with resumable context) into a reference file, keeping the core CRUD operations as the SKILL.md overview.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

Efficient overall: every section delivers commands or conventions Claude wouldn't know (path encoding as source of truth, Bash-only writes, rm-as-soft-close), with no padding about known concepts. Minor trims possible: the Write/Edit-denied rationale is explained three times (§1 step 3, §1a intro, §3 comment) and the 'why' in the capture example runs long — keeps it from the lean 5.

4 / 5

Actionability

Fully executable, copy-paste-ready commands for every operation: heredoc cat for creation, mv between status folders, `hivemind goal list --agent capture` with a realistic filled-in example body, and concrete constraints ('Do NOT use `node -e` — Node is not available'). Placeholders are clearly delimited and the common cases are covered.

5 / 5

Workflow Clarity

Operations are clearly numbered and sequenced (create: whoami → uuidgen → write → confirm; resume: find → transfer context → flip status → act), with decision checkpoints ('If empty, ask the user', 'If ambiguous, show the candidates and ask'). Not 5: there is no post-write verification step (e.g. cat-back or ls to confirm the goal landed in the right status folder), and the rm soft-close path has no confirmation of the resulting status.

4 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

No bundle files exist, so everything lives in SKILL.md — appropriate for this size. Sections are well-organized and scannable (when-to-use, path conventions, six operations, constraints, team visibility) with clear headers. Not 5: at ~150 lines it exceeds the simple-skill range, and the capture/resume subsections (1a/1b) are self-contained workflows that could be split into a reference file to keep the overview leaner.

Description

87%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

A well-structured description with concrete actions, explicit what/when, and excellent natural trigger coverage. Its main weakness is over-broad triggering: absorbing generic "task"/"todo"/"fix X" language creates real conflict risk with other work-tracking or reminder skills.

Suggestions

Narrow the task-absorption triggers (e.g. scope 'task'/'todo'/'fix X' to when the user wants them tracked/persisted in Hivemind, not merely mentioned) to reduce conflict with generic todo and reminder skills.

Add a brief negative boundary (when NOT to use this skill) so routine in-session coding tasks that don't need persistence don't trigger it.

Mention the resume-capture capability ('capture a task for later with resumable context') since it is a headline use case in the body but absent from the description.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

"Create, track and update team goals via the Deeplake virtual filesystem at memory/goal/" names the domain and several concrete actions with a concrete mechanism. Minor gaps: it omits listing, closing, and reassigning goals, which the body shows are core operations — so not the comprehensive 5.

4 / 5

Completeness

Explicitly answers both: what ("Create, track and update team goals via the Deeplake virtual filesystem at memory/goal/") and when ("Use whenever the user mentions a goal, objective, target, milestone..." plus a second explicit trigger clause for tasks), matching the anchor's concrete-trigger-phrase pattern.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Comprehensive natural-term coverage: "goal", "objective", "target", "milestone", "track progress", "task", "todo", "work item", "remind me to" — these are exactly the synonyms and phrasings a user would naturally say.

5 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The goal-tracking niche (team-shared Deeplake VFS, replacing the legacy `hivemind tasks` CLI) is distinct, but the VERY broad triggers — "task", "todo", "work item", "remind me to", "fix X" — would fire on nearly any actionable request, overlapping with general todo-list, reminder, and coding-workflow skills. Not 4: the overlap risk is more than minor.
