Goal
The repo's durable objective — the north-star for this project — stored per project at
.omp/goal.md. It is distinct from a daily log's per-day goal: this is the long-lived "what
we want to achieve in this repo", set rarely and updated only when the objective changes.
It is read and written through the omp CLI (run these as shell commands):
omp goal set "<objective>" — set/replace the repo objective (one concise line).omp goal read — print the current repo objective.
The command writes under the current project's .omp/, so every repo keeps its own goal
automatically.
When to use
/goal <text> — the user states the objective; run omp goal set "<one concise line>"./goal (no text) — run omp goal read and show the current objective. If none is set,
offer to set one.- The SessionStart hook surfaces the goal as a
[REPO GOAL] … line, so it is already in
context at the start of each session — only run omp goal read when the user asks explicitly.
Notes
- Keep it to a single north-star sentence; it is not a task list. Use the daily log
(
/daily-log) for day-to-day progress toward this goal.
- Update it when the objective genuinely shifts — not every session.
- Do not put secrets in it;
.omp/goal.md is a plain file readable by anyone with repo access.
