Claude Code Turns /goal Into Autonomous Builds

Claude Code is becoming less like an assistant and more like a software-delivery loop, but autonomy still amplifies bad requirements as efficiently as good ones.

• –/goal changes the interaction from requesting steps to defining a measurable completion condition.
• –Sonnet 5.5 strengthens the workflow with faster execution, lower cost, and a major Terminal-Bench improvement over Sonnet 5.
• –Full-stack demos show impressive breadth, but authentication, billing, security, and deployment still require human review.
• –The safest pattern is to define narrow goals with testable acceptance criteria instead of asking for an unbounded “build my app” outcome.
