About
This skill handles both team goals/KPIs and individual tasks through the `hivemind` CLI, replacing the legacy tasks system. Use it when users mention objectives, milestones, or any actionable work items. It requires CLI execution only—file writes won't sync to shared team storage.

Hivemind Goals — CLI only (Hermes)
⚠️ CRITICAL: On this runtime (Hermes), you MUST use the hivemind shell CLI for goals + KPIs. DO NOT use write_file on ~/.deeplake/memory/goal/... paths — those writes go to the local filesystem and never reach the team-shared hivemind_goals table. Other team members will NOT see them.
The hivemind-memory skill describes a generic memory layout — it does NOT apply to goals/KPIs. For goals/KPIs, use the CLI below.
Commands (invoke via terminal tool)
hivemind goal add "<text>" # create goal, prints goal_id
hivemind goal list [--mine|--all] # list (default --mine)
hivemind goal done <goal_id> # mark closed
hivemind goal progress <goal_id> <opened|in_progress|closed>
hivemind kpi add <goal_id> <kpi_id> <target> <unit> [name] # add KPI to goal
hivemind kpi list <goal_id> # list KPIs for goal
hivemind kpi bump <goal_id> <kpi_id> <delta> # increment current (int)
Workflow when the user expresses a goal
hivemind goal add "<short description>"— capture stdout, that's thegoal_id(UUID).- If the user explicitly asks for KPIs:
hivemind kpi add <goal_id> <slug> <target> <unit>per KPI. - Tell the user the goal_id and that it is now team-visible in Deeplake.
Capture a task for later (with resumable context)
When the user parks a tangential task mid-session — "save this for later", "remind me to …", "don't let me forget …", "let's do X later" — store enough context to resume cold later, not just a one-liner. Tag it --agent capture so parked side-tasks are separable from hand-made goals:
hivemind goal add --agent capture "Add rate-limiting to the webhook handler
Start here: add a per-IP token bucket on the handler entry path
Files: src/webhook/handler.ts:120-160, src/webhook/limits.ts
Branch: feat/webhook-hardening
Run: pnpm test webhook
Why: bursty clients hammer the endpoint; defer until retry-backoff lands"
Line 1 is the label (what goal list shows). Fill Start here / Files / Branch / Run / Why from the conversation; Start here: matters most. Pass the whole package as one double-quoted argument so the newlines are preserved.
Resume a parked task (automatic context transfer)
When the user says "let's work on that task / goal" or "pick up the <X> task":
hivemind goal list --mine— match the user's reference to agoal_id.hivemind goal get <goal_id>— prints the full package (goal listshows only the first line, so always usegoal get). Read it as your working context.hivemind goal progress <goal_id> in_progress— mark it started.- Begin from
Start here:using theFiles/Branch/Runlines. Continue as if the context was never lost.
What NOT to do
- Do NOT call
write_fileon any path under~/.deeplake/memory/goal/or~/.deeplake/memory/kpi/. - Do NOT do
mkdir/cat >to create those files manually via terminal. - Do NOT auto-generate KPIs unless the user explicitly asks.
If the user wants to inspect goals you created, run hivemind goal list --mine (terminal) and present the output.
