hivemind-goals

hivemind-goals is a skill for Claude Code from activeloopai/hivemind. It costs 103 tokens per session (2,012 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A shared system for recording team goals, measurable targets, key performance indicators, and work items as Markdown files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create or update goals, KPIs, milestones, tasks, and reminders, and to list work that is open or currently in progress.
Why use it?
It gives tasks and measurable objectives a consistent place to track their owner, status, progress, and supporting metrics. It treats reminders and work items as part of the same goals system.

About the project

Hivemind is a shared memory system for coding agents that records their sessions and turns recurring solutions into reusable skills. Teams use it to let agents search past traces, share learned procedures across tools and machines, and keep the resulting knowledge in their own cloud or on-premises storage. The catalogue entries are Hivemind's own skills, hooks, plugins, and commands for connecting agents to that shared memory.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

  • high Tool Misuse · line 145
    Tool parameters are crafted to achieve unintended or unsafe behavior. Parameter abuse can bypass intended safety checks (e.g. shell=True, --force, dangerous glob patterns).
    Fix: Validate all tool parameters against an allowlist. Reject dangerous parameter values (shell=True, --force, -rf /) and use safe defaults.

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

hivemind-goals 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 1mo 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 154 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Hivemind Goals

Track goals as Markdown files inside the Deeplake virtual filesystem. Each file is one row in a dedicated team-shared table — the path encodes the structural metadata, the file body holds the human-readable description.

When to use this skill

Activate when the user expresses any of:

  • "I want to track X / aim for X / track my progress on Y"
  • "add a goal", "what are my goals?"
  • "mark this as done", "close that goal"
  • "shipping X by Friday", "5 PRs this week", any measurable target
  • "create a task", "add a todo", "remind me to fix X", any work item (the goals system absorbs the old hivemind tasks CLI — there is no separate task store)

For "list my goals" → run ls ~/.deeplake/memory/goal/<userName>/opened/ and ls ~/.deeplake/memory/goal/<userName>/in_progress/. If empty, ask the user if they want to create one.

Path conventions (LEARN THESE)

~/.deeplake/memory/goal/<owner>/<status>/<goal_id>.md
  • <owner> — user identifier (use the userName from hivemind whoami or the credentials)
  • <status> — one of opened, in_progress, closed
  • <goal_id> — UUIDv4 you generate at create time

Path encoding is the source of truth. The owner, status, and goal_id come from the path — NOT from the file body. Do NOT write owner/status/goal_id inside the file content.

File body format

Goal file body — plain markdown, free form:

ship the goals-graph feature

Notes: route every write through the VFS, no separate CLI.
Due: 2026-05-30.

The first line is the human-readable label (what goal list and the SessionStart banner show). Anything else is free notes.

Operations

1. Create a new goal

When the user expresses a new goal:

  1. Get the current owner with hivemind whoami (use the userName, e.g. emanuele.fenocchi).
  2. Generate a UUIDv4: uuidgen (do NOT use node -e — Node is not available under the VFS path).
  3. Write the goal file via Bash (Write / Edit are denied on memory paths; only Bash is intercepted and routed to SQL):
    cat > ~/.deeplake/memory/goal/<owner>/opened/<uuid>.md <<'EOF'
    <goal description here, multiple lines OK>
    EOF
    
    For a single-line goal, echo '<text>' > ~/.deeplake/memory/goal/<owner>/opened/<uuid>.md is equivalent.
  4. Respond to the user that the goal is created.

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.
