# 🎯 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. ## How It Works ``` GOAL → PLAN → CONFIRM → EXECUTE → REPORT ``` ### 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: ``` ## 🎯 Goal: [restated goal] ### Definition of Done [What success looks like] ### Plan | # | Step | Tool/Skill | Est. Time | Cost | Risk | |---|------|-----------|-----------|------|------| | 1 | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... | ### Total Estimate - **Time:** X minutes - **API Cost:** ~$X.XX - **Human Checkpoints:** [list] ### Guardrails Triggered - [ ] External communication (needs approval) - [ ] Financial spend > $1 - [ ] Irreversible action ``` ### 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: ``` ## ✅ Goal Complete: [goal] ### What Was Done - Step 1: [result] - Step 2: [result] - ... ### Outputs - [List of files, links, artifacts created] ### What Was Learned - [Insights discovered during execution] ### Recommended Next Steps - [What to do with the results] - [Follow-up opportunities] ### Stats - Total time: Xm - API calls: X - Est. cost: $X.XX ``` ## 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.

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
