Claude Code adds /goal feature

Claude Code has introduced /goal, a goal-based automatic iteration execution feature.

Claude automatically performs tasks over multiple turns until the goal set by the user is completed. At the end of each turn, a fast model evaluates whether the goal has been achieved; if not complete, it automatically starts the next turn, and if complete, it automatically removes the goal.

The key features are as follows:

• Evaluation method: Instead of directly checking files or commands, it determines whether the goal has been achieved based on the conversation history.
• Session management: Only one goal can be active per session, and the active goal can be restored via the --resume or --continue command.
• Technical implementation: Claude's documentation describes this as a session-scoped Stop hook wrapper.

This update shows the trend of AI tools evolving beyond simple chat-based assistants into goal-based Autonomous Agents.
