You're using /goal wrong (this way will make more money)

So you've probably heard about how /goal has dropped across Claude Code. It has dropped with Codex, with Hermes, with OpenClaw, you name it, and it's going to change everything in terms of growing your revenues or making more money. So especially good if you're running a business right now, because literally you can build anything that you want whenever you want. And I'm going to show you how you can actually go about upgrading this because people are using kind of the /goal command at a base level. But I want to talk about using it from a business standpoint, from a revenue generating standpoint, so you can actually make more money. Let's get into it. So first and foremost, I want to show you example. This is me working with my Hermes agent inside of Slack, and I'm using Codex as the main agent here, or more so the main LLM. So that's the main frontier model that I'm using here. And within this, you can see that I'm actually having to execute a full list of different things that I've already been working on. Okay, so I just asked, hey, what are the open threads that we have right now? Can we slash goal them? Okay, so I'm lazy, I want to finish these things off, and I've already specced them out pretty well at the beginning of it. And I want it to continue. Okay, so the whole idea with /goal is that you're able to not have to check up as much as before whenever you are building something, and you can even have it work through the night. And I'm going to show you how you can do that in a second because that doesn't come in necessarily built in. But this does make it easier to run multiple parallel agents and get things done faster. Okay, so if you look at this, /goal overnight finish the execution panel. So this is one of the things that we're working on. And build verify the monitor packet generator run dry run verification against OpenThread items. So this is basically kind of the definition of done, right? Because when you're running /goal, you need to make sure that you're defining an outcome. And ideally it's something that's a little clearer, like, hey, I want you to design 50 ads for me in using this initial design over here. And I want you to use this text, or maybe I want you to do 3 landing pages, 3 landing page variations. And I want to, I want you to pull from this Mobbin MCP, which actually has a bunch of designs and screens that you can pull from. So really a bunch of ideas. The more you connect to your, your, your agent, like an OpenClaw agent or Hermes, the more You're going to find that you can run more interesting experiments with it. Okay, so the way /goal works is that you are basically able to define what you want, and you should define specifically what the definition of done is, and it can get that thing done for you. Okay, now /goal doesn't come with all these upgrades that you might need in terms of, hey, maybe you might want it to work overnight, maybe you want it to optimize itself overnight. But I decided that I wanted to upgrade my /goal, and I'm using my Hermes agent to do that. So you can see over here, these are new commands and presets that I've set up for myself. And so the one I want to call out here is /goal So this allows you to run one high priority mission as an overnight operator loop with safe internal execution verification and a morning packet. I want the morning packet to tell me exactly what was done. And I want this to, you know, I want this to be safe. So I don't want this to run any destructive commands. And we want this to verify to make sure that the work was actually done, right? And then you can define kind of what the mission is. What's the standing objective that Hermes keeps working on across turns until it's done, blocked, paused, or out of budget? And that way you can, you don't need to keep coming back to it all the time, right? And so Now, this used to be called a Ralph loop because there was a Ralph Wiggum plugin before. Now this is built into almost all of these Frontier Labs, which is built into these autonomous agents as well. You can also run— for me, I can run /goal status. So I want to know how these goals are going right now. I can pause a goal as well without deleting it. I can restart a paused goal from its saved state, and I can remove the current goal so the session stops chasing it. So the other thing I'll say is typically you can only run one goal at a time, but I've actually added an upgrade as of now. I actually need to— we're testing it right now, but the whole thing is that you can actually run batch goals, right? So literally, I think the command is like /goal batch. And then you can— because I have all these open loops, which I'll show you in a second, there's all these things that you're working on all the time, especially if you're working in like Hermes— sorry, Hermes is where your OpenCLAW is working within Slack or even Telegram. You're going to forget things. And sure, you can use the Kanban board that they have, but Oftentimes it's just like, it's the Kanban board itself that they have is pretty messy too, right? And so I'd rather just say, ask, hey, what are the open threads right now? What do I need to review right now? And what do we need to continue? And so I actually have a command in here that's /goal continue. So once something finishes off and it's asking for more feedback from me, I might just type /goal continue or ask me any clarifying questions, right? And then it just continues there. You can see here, I also have this one over here. So /goal open thread scope. So shortcut for open thread batch mode. Then we can batch a bunch of these together and you can see I have batch threads over here. Okay, so splits open Slack threads into separate work lanes, tracks each lane independently, and produces a consolidated executive summary. Now, the cool thing is, if you're running this, you can also have— maybe you're collaborating with a partner on your team, you can work with them on this, right? Maybe you don't want to have too many people involved, too many cooks in the kitchen. And Night Queue allows you to look across open work, ranks the safest high-leverage tasks. So I like talking about highest leverage because, you know, a little bit of output, maybe $1 of output yields you $10 or $100 back. Runs what it can and turns risky work into approval packets, right? So the whole idea here is that you have /goal to keep work moving, but you want it to work overnight. Maybe you want it to focus on, continue to focus on high-leverage tasks through the evening. And then maybe you have open threads and maybe you need to batch it out, right? So this helps my workflow. What I would suggest for you is that whenever you're working with your agent, in this case I'm working with Hermes over here, I'll say, hey, based on how I work, what upgrade should we add to /goal? And you could even take a screenshot of what I have over here on the screen and just say, hey, like, here are some ideas for you to start with. What else should I add? Okay, so I'm going to give you an example here on how it looks on my screen in terms of the things that I'm asking it to do. And this will hopefully help give you some ideas too. Okay, so in Slack, I'm just like, hey, like, you know, what are the open threads? And, you know, can we /goal to finish them off? Have we enabled the /goal upgrades? Like, continue. Okay, so it continues over here and then it just talks about all the open threads that I have. And these are a lot of things that I'm working on. Could be from a product standpoint, Could be from a customer development standpoint, weekly connector, just the collector in terms of like all the open threads that I have. Ambient single-grain control plane. That's something that we're working on for our single-grain ambient agents. And so a lot of stuff like fleet cleanup, gateway token health, like all these things over here. So again, you're going to forget because you're doing so much work, you're doing this so quickly. You have this infinite intelligence in your hands right now and you want to keep it moving and you feel like, oh, when you wake up in the morning, man, I could have continued to work in those 8 hours where you're sleeping. Well, this is a way for you to continue to work and this is how it's going to continue to help you. drive more revenue ultimately, right? And so the way I look at this is I always have a bunch of ideas. Well, I just want these ideas moving forward. And then maybe I probably want a /goal to just audit what I'm working on too, to make sure that's tying in with my goals, to make sure that I'm working on super high leverage things. So I'm going to then show you a couple of diagrams that I put together for this. And let's take a look at it. By the way, if you want to grow faster, you need to have a single brain unified intelligence sitting inside of your chat. So it could be inside of Slack or Teams, but you can see right here, this bot's working and it's creating ad creatives. It is doing data pulls from Meta, from Google. You can pull your SEO data. So imagine having all these data connectors. You can ask whatever question you want, get the data pulls a lot faster. Your team can see it as well. They can choose to execute, and then you can run your other specialist agents that you have inside. So we have ad creative agents, we have email infrastructure agents. There's all these agents that can do a bunch of things. And the whole idea is they're all playing together. They're playing with your team as well. That way you're going to be able to just move a lot faster and then grow a lot faster. So check it out. Just go to singlebrain.com. singlebrain.com. We'll see you inside. All right. So I put together a few diagrams here for you to look at. So business growth workflows enabled by /goal. So 7 screenshot-ready operating diagrams for showing how vague AI tasks become measurable growth loops with proof gates and executive review. So we have, I think what I'm going to bring your attention to is on the /goal overnight. And so agents work the night shift with proof and approval gates. So Eric sets the mission before bed, tracks split the work. Morning starts with an executive packet, not a prompt box, right? Because I want to know what happened and what next steps are. So I'll set the mission over here. This is before I go to bed. Then I go to sleep. Morning approval tracks. We You have a builder, you have a review, an operator, an escalator, and then you have proof, deliverable monitors, risk filter, and the executive packet. That's basically how it works. And that's how I keep the ball moving because what you don't want to do is like, oh, okay, it keeps checking in with you and maybe it needs more approval through the night. But this— because the thing is, I've learned with Hermes, when I type /goal, it usually gets the job done in about, I don't know, call it 10 minutes, 15 minutes or so. But when I run /goal overnight, it actually truly overnights it. And I want it to be Typically it might be a longer task, right? It might be a longer build and you might not need to use overnight that much, but it's still helpful to have. That's what I would say. Okay. The next one would be Night Queue, which is /goal nightqueue. So execution control plane beyond manual prompt, cut, copy, and paste. So Night Queue reads the business surface, dedupes work, ranks by impact, launches safe jobs, and packages risky work for approval. So I have a Kanban board with my Hermes, the open threads, recent priorities, done, running blocks. So this will run on autopilot basically. It'll just figure out what it can actually do safely. It'll auto-launch it, it'll queue it, and then safe internal launch, risky approval packet, right? So you just got to think through what workflows make sense for you and what you're trying to accomplish. And then we have this AI optimization lab one, which is growth becomes a compounding revenue loop. So the lab turns metrics into hypotheses, approved tests, readbacks, and a learning store that improves the next experiment. So you get metric inputs from the different sources that you have. It diagnoses the different bottlenecks that you have, hypotheses and variants. And eval scoring, and then approval, then test. So you can basically run this AI optimization lab over and over. So the whole idea here is that you want a system that recursively self-improves, because if you have to keep checking in all the time, that makes it tougher, right? And so it's no different than when you hire someone that's really amazing, that's able to kind of figure things out on their own. This AI optimization lab piece is something that you can try, and it's not going to be perfect the first time, but the whole idea is that you're constantly testing this stuff. Okay, so anyway, all that to say is you want to make sure— I mean, the way I look at this is my Hermes agent is a control tower, right? It's not just a pile of prompts. So goal launches runners, and then you have runners create artifacts and evals, approvals, touch the outside world, backtest the memory, improve the next goal. So we want— my whole thing here is just 3 words: move the ball forward. And that's ultimately going to build the most leverage for you, right? So autonomy, safe command service. So autonomy without letting the robot touch the money printer. So a clear command service. Lets agents move fast internally while gate 4 protects money, reputation, production systems. Really important, right? If you're talking about running a business or growing a business faster. So you have internal docs which are safe, dry runs, evals, and Q&A. So it'll dry run, we'll test things. We have evals and Q&A that we should continue again to define what a good setup looks like, right? Or what a good— what the definition of done looks like. Then you have gate 4 approval. So anything that involves sending emails out or adjusting CRM or you know, sending some stuff out to social or adjusting your CMS, you're going to need to make sure that this has approval ultimately. So there needs to be some approval gates, otherwise this thing's going to be yellow. Same thing with kind of ad spend and deploy. So these things all here are safe to run. Gate 4 approval, you need to make sure that you are protecting yourself or, you know, CYA, cover your you know what. Alright, so that is how I use /goal to grow my business faster and how you can do it as well. So you'll generate more revenue, you'll AKA make more money. And so hope you enjoyed this one.
