Goal is an Agentic Workflow for GitHub issues.

It does something similar to /goal in Codex and Claude Code, packaged as a variant of the Autoloop agentic workflow pattern.

Use an agent to create a good goal issue, and sometimes a small setup PR, before the workflow starts. Goal then works on that issue across runs using one long-running branch and PR. Each run comments on the issue. When the goal is complete, it adds goal-completed and removes goal.

Paste this into your favorite coding agent to install Goal in your repo:

Install the Goal Agentic Workflow using https://github.com/githubnext/goal/blob/main/install.md

Paste this into your favorite coding agent to create a good goal:

Create a new goal using https://github.com/githubnext/goal/blob/main/new-goal.md

The agent should help turn the work into a concrete, verifiable issue before the goal label is added.
