description: Persistent Codex-style goal tracking for pi. Use when the user explicitly asks to set, continue, audit, pause, resume, complete, or inspect a long-running goal.

# pi-goal
Use goal tools only when the user explicitly wants persistent goal tracking or when an active goal already exists.
## Tools
Create a goal:
```ts
create_goal({
objective: "Ship the pi-goal extension",
token_budget: 50000,
});
```
Inspect a goal:
```ts
get_goal({});
```
Update a goal:
```ts
update_goal({
status: "complete",
});
```
`update_goal` only accepts `complete`. User-facing `/goal` commands control pause, resume, budget-limited, and clear transitions.
## Completion Rule
Before marking a goal complete, audit the actual current state:
1. Restate the goal as concrete deliverables.
2. Map every explicit requirement to real evidence.
3. Inspect files, command output, test results, or repository state for each item.
4. Treat uncertainty as incomplete.
5. Call `update_goal({ status: "complete" })` only when no required work remains.
Use budget-limited status when the reason to stop is budget exhaustion rather than completion.
