Goal notification manual: `.notification/goal.json` source-of-truth, fields, instructions, idle reminders, protected goal behavior, and cancellation or completion semantics.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Goal Manual
A goal is represented by `.notification/goal.json`. This file is the protected
source of truth for the agent's current active goal. The short reminder event only
points the agent back to this file; it does not contain the goal details.
## Guided setup via `/goal`
`/goal` is the TUI entry point for human-guided goal creation. It does **not**
write `.notification/goal.json` directly. Instead, the TUI appends a system event
to `.notification/system.json` so the running agent can guide the human before
creating or changing the goal file:
```json
{
"source": "goal.request",
"ref_id": "goal.request:<timestamp>",
"body": "Human wants to set or revise an active goal..."
}
```
When you receive a `source="goal.request"` event:
1. **Read this manual first.** The event is a request to guide goal creation, not
permission to invent goal details.
2. **Explain the mechanism briefly to the human.** Tell them that an active goal
lives in `.notification/goal.json`, idle reminders are short
`goal.reminder` system events, and a reminder being delivered never changes
the goal.
3. **Ask for the missing goal fields.** At minimum, clarify:
…Read the whole file at its exact version.
How to install
mdr add lingtai-ai/lingtai-kernel/goal-manual@sha256:b6553a5301e17f9fThe line at the top of this page pins the label v0.3.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
