oh-my-goal

Codex-style /goal autonomy for OpenCode.

Set one objective. Let the agent keep going until the work is done, blocked, paused, or out of budget.

If this makes your OpenCode workflow better, please consider giving the repo a star.

Why

OpenCode already has powerful automation plugins. Many of them are built for advanced orchestration: multiple agents, metrics, scopes, model maps, verification plans.

oh-my-goal is intentionally smaller.

/goal fix the flaky login test

That is the interface. The plugin stores the goal, injects a continuation prompt whenever the session goes idle, and keeps the agent moving until there is a concrete stop condition.

Features

• One-line autonomy: start with /goal <objective>.
• Project-local state: stores goal state in .opencode/goal.json.
• Continuation loop: uses session.idle to push the agent into the next concrete action.
• Completion detection: watches for GOAL_ACHIEVED: and GOAL_BLOCKED: markers.
• Budget guardrails: tracks token usage and warns near the configured budget.
• Compaction-safe context: preserves goal state through OpenCode session compaction.
• No model orchestration: plays nicely beside other OpenCode tools because it only manages goal continuation.

Install

npm i -g oh-my-goal

Add it to opencode.json:

{
  "plugin": ["oh-my-goal"]
}

For local use before publishing, build the repo and run OpenCode from this project. The repository includes:

• .opencode/plugins/oh-my-goal.js to load the built plugin locally
• .opencode/commands/goal.md so the TUI registers /goal

Usage

Start a goal:

/goal fix the login redirect bug

Check or control the active goal:

/goal status
/goal pause
/goal resume
/goal clear

Override the default token budget:

/goal raise payment module test coverage to 80% --token-budget 100000

Commands

| Command | Behavior | | ------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------- | | /goal <objective> | Create a new goal and start the loop | | /goal status | Show current objective, status, budget, and iteration | | /goal pause | Pause the loop without deleting goal state | | /goal resume | Resume a paused goal | | /goal clear | Delete .opencode/goal.json and stop the loop |

How It Works

The plugin is deliberately simple:

/goal <objective>
  -> write .opencode/goal.json
  -> on session.idle, inject continuation prompt
  -> on message.updated, scan for stop markers and token usage
  -> preserve goal context during compaction

When a goal is pursuing, each idle event injects an active-goal check into the session. The agent must concretely decide whether the original objective is complete. If not, it continues immediately.

The loop stops when:

• The assistant emits GOAL_ACHIEVED: <summary>
• The assistant emits GOAL_BLOCKED: <reason>
• /goal pause or /goal clear is used
• The token budget or iteration limit is reached
