Claude Code adds /goal run loop

Claude Code now includes `/goal`, a session-scoped mode that keeps working across turns until a condition is met. Anthropic says the command uses a separate evaluator after each turn, turning the terminal agent into a more persistent task runner.

// ANALYSIS

This is a small command with a big product implication: Claude Code is moving from “help me code” toward “own this outcome.” The interesting part is the evaluator separation, which makes the loop feel more deliberate than a raw auto-run mode.

  • `/goal` starts immediately from a written completion condition, then re-checks after each turn
  • Anthropic says the evaluator is separate from the worker model, which should reduce self-confirmation bias
  • The feature makes Claude Code feel closer to a long-running agent workflow than a chatty coding assistant
  • It also raises the usual autonomy tradeoff: the better the goal spec, the better the run
  • For teams, this is most useful for test-fix loops, refactors, and other tasks with crisp exit criteria
