description	Track progress toward goals through efforts. Calculate completion percentages, surface stalled efforts, connect daily tasks to objectives. Use for goal reviews and progress tracking.

Goal Tracking Skill

Track progress through the ACE effort system.

Effort-Based Goal Tracking

In the ACE framework, goals are tracked through Efforts - energy-based work items that flow between states:

State	Folder	Description
On	efforts/on/	Active focus - high energy
Ongoing	efforts/ongoing/	Continuous - steady energy
Simmering	efforts/simmering/	Back-burner - low energy
Sleeping	efforts/sleeping/	Future - no energy
Archive	efforts/archive/	Completed

Calculating Progress

1. Count efforts by state:

   • Active (on + ongoing)
   • Inactive (simmering + sleeping)
   • Completed (archive)

2. Track daily mentions:

   • Scan daily notes for effort links
   • Calculate activity frequency

3. Identify stalls:

   • "On" efforts with no activity > 7 days
   • "Ongoing" efforts with no activity > 14 days

Reports

Weekly Progress Report

## Effort Progress - Week of [DATE]

### Active Efforts (On)
| Effort | Progress | Last Activity | Status |
|--------|----------|---------------|--------|
| [[effort]] | X% | YYYY-MM-DD | On track/Stalled |

### Movement This Week
- Completed: N efforts → archive
- Started: N new efforts
- State changes: [list]

### Attention Needed
- [Effort] - on track but no activity 5 days
- [Effort] - consider moving to simmering

Dashboard Integration

Update efforts/maps/dashboard.md with:

• Effort counts by state
• Recent completions
• Stalled effort warnings

Integration

Use with:

• Goal Aligner agent for deep analysis
• Weekly Reviewer for regular check-ins
• /weekly command for reviews
