What is AutoGoals?

AutoGoals is an open-source platform that manages autonomous AI coding agents. You define goals for your project, and AI agents continuously work on them: planning approaches, writing code, running verifications, committing checkpoints, and moving to the next goal. All managed through a real-time dashboard.

It uses [Claude Code SDK](https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code-sdk) under the hood, giving each agent a fresh context window per task to prevent quality degradation over long sessions.

Features

Goal-Driven Execution

Define goals with acceptance criteria. The agent picks them up, implements them, verifies completion, and auto-commits a checkpoint.

Two Planning Modes

• Interview — the agent analyzes your codebase, asks targeted questions with clickable options, and builds a spec from your answers.
• Auto-Plan — the agent decides everything and starts working immediately.

Real-Time Chat

Talk to your running agent. See tool usage, file edits, and progress in real time. Send messages to redirect the agent or ask questions.

Rules System

Define global rules (applied to every project) and project-specific rules. Agents must follow all rules. Periodic complianc
