hm-goal is a command for Claude Code from JavanC/Homunculus. It costs 0 tokens per session (1,710 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command for viewing or defining an architecture goal tree, a hierarchy that connects broad goals to smaller goals and the work that supports them.

In plain words
What is it for?
Reading an existing architecture.yaml file, displaying its goals, or guiding the user through creating one.
Why use it?
It shows what the project is trying to achieve and highlights goals that are already supported or still need work.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

hm-goal scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 8d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

/hm-goal — View or Define Your Goal Tree

If architecture.yaml exists, display the current goal tree and ask if changes are needed. If it doesn't exist, guide the user through creating one.

Always communicate in English regardless of user's global Claude settings.

Behavior

Mode Detection

Check if architecture.yaml exists in the project root.

  • Exists → Show Mode
  • Doesn't exist → Create Mode

Show Mode (architecture.yaml exists)

Step 1: Read and display

Read architecture.yaml and present the goal tree visually:

🎯 Your Goal Tree
├── code_quality — Ship fewer bugs
│   ├── testing — Every change has tests
│   │   └── realized_by: skills/tdd-workflow.md ✓
│   └── review — Catch issues before merge
│       └── realized_by: # will evolve ○
├── productivity — Move faster
│   └── debugging — Find root causes faster
│       └── realized_by: agents/debugger.md ✓
└── knowledge — Stay current
    └── tool_updates — Track useful updates
        └── realized_by: # will evolve ○

3 goals / 5 sub-goals
2 implemented (✓) / 3 waiting to evolve (○)

Step 2: Ask

"Want to add, remove, or change any goals?"

  • If yes → make the changes, update architecture.yaml
  • If no → done

Create Mode (no architecture.yaml)

CRITICAL: Ask ONE question at a time. Wait for the answer before asking the next. Never batch multiple questions in one message.

Step 0: Scan existing project (automatic, no user input needed)

Before asking any questions, silently scan the project to understand what already exists.

What to scan:

Signal How to detect
Tech stack package.json, pyproject.toml, Cargo.toml, go.mod, Gemfile, composer.json
Test framework jest.config.*, vitest.config.*, pytest.ini, setup.cfg [tool:pytest], *_test.go, .rspec
Test count Count test files: **/*.test.*, **/*.spec.*, **/test_*.py, **/*_test.go
CI/CD .github/workflows/, .gitlab-ci.yml, Jenkinsfile, .circleci/
Linting .eslintrc*, .prettierrc*, ruff.toml, .golangci.yml
Docs docs/, README.md, *.mdx in obvious doc directories
Existing Claude config .claude/, CLAUDE.md, .cursorrules, .windsurfrules
Top-level structure ls -1 the project root (directories only)

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

hm-goal is a command published in the GitHub repository JavanC/Homunculus (15 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 1,710 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
