What it does

Hivemind Goals is an agent skill from activeloopai/hivemind. Create, track and update team goals in Hivemind via the hivemind CLI. 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.

Its SKILL.md is about 810 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Product & Project Management, covering Project management. The repository describes itself as: Hivemind turns your traces into reusable skills across agents. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • The user mentions a goal
  • Asks to track progress on something measurable
  • The user says task
  • Any actionable work item — the goal system replaced the legacy hivemind tasks CLI and now covers both objectives and tasks

Example prompts

  • “work item”
  • “remind me to”
  • “/hivemind-goals”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): terminal

Workflow steps

2 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. hivemind goal add "" — capture stdout, that's the goal_id (UUID).
  2. Tell the user the goal_id and that it is now team-visible in Deeplake.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e054fb1. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • terminal

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Hivemind Goals loads about 814 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 104 tokens; SKILL.md has 329 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~104
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~814

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Hivemind Goals — CLI only (Hermes)

⚠️ CRITICAL: On this runtime (Hermes), you MUST use the hivemind shell CLI for goals. 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. For goals, 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>

Workflow when the user expresses a goal

  1. hivemind goal add "<short description>" — capture stdout, that's the goal_id (UUID).
  2. 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":

  1. hivemind goal list --mine — match the user's reference to a goal_id.
  2. hivemind goal get <goal_id> — prints the full package (goal list shows only the first line, so always use goal get). Read it as your working context.
  3. hivemind goal progress <goal_id> in_progress — mark it started.
  4. Begin from Start here: using the Files / Branch / Run lines. Continue as if the context was never lost.

What NOT to do

  • Do NOT call write_file on any path under ~/.deeplake/memory/goal/.
  • Do NOT do mkdir / cat > to create those files manually via terminal.

If the user wants to inspect goals you created, run hivemind goal list --mine (terminal) and present the output.
