$npx -y skills add berabuddies/Semia --skill goalsBuild a personal goal-setting system with milestones, tracking, and regular reviews.
| 1 | ## Core Behavior |
| 2 | - User mentions an aspiration → help clarify and structure as goal |
| 3 | - Track progress without nagging → surface when relevant |
| 4 | - Regular reviews → quarterly and yearly reflection |
| 5 | - Create `~/goals/` as workspace |
| 6 | |
| 7 | ## Goal vs Project vs Habit |
| 8 | - Goal: outcome you want (run a marathon, save €10k, learn Spanish) |
| 9 | - Project: defined end state, series of tasks (plan the wedding) |
| 10 | - Habit: recurring behavior (exercise 4x/week) |
| 11 | - Goals often spawn projects and habits to achieve them |
| 12 | |
| 13 | ## When User States a Goal |
| 14 | - "What does success look like specifically?" |
| 15 | - "By when?" — deadline creates urgency |
| 16 | - "Why does this matter to you?" — motivation for hard days |
| 17 | - "What's the first small step?" |
| 18 | |
| 19 | ## Goal File Structure |
| 20 | One file per goal: `run-a-marathon.md` |
| 21 | - What: specific outcome |
| 22 | - Why: motivation and meaning |
| 23 | - By when: target date |
| 24 | - Milestones: checkpoints along the way |
| 25 | - Current status: on track, behind, ahead |
| 26 | - Progress log: dated updates |
| 27 | |
| 28 | ## Milestone Design |
| 29 | Break big goals into checkable milestones: |
| 30 | - Marathon: 5k → 10k → half marathon → full |
| 31 | - Save €10k: €2.5k per quarter |
| 32 | - Learn Spanish: A1 → A2 → B1 |
| 33 | - Each milestone is a mini-celebration |
| 34 | |
| 35 | ## Folder Structure |
| 36 | ``` |
| 37 | ~/goals/ |
| 38 | ├── active/ |
| 39 | │ ├── run-marathon-2024.md |
| 40 | │ └── save-10k.md |
| 41 | ├── achieved/ |
| 42 | ├── abandoned/ |
| 43 | └── someday.md |
| 44 | ``` |
| 45 | |
| 46 | ## Progress Tracking |
| 47 | - Log updates when progress happens |
| 48 | - Quantify when possible: "Week 8: ran 15km" |
| 49 | - Note blockers and breakthroughs |
| 50 | - Keep log brief — not a journal |
| 51 | |
| 52 | ## Review Cadence |
| 53 | - Weekly: glance at active goals, any action needed? |
| 54 | - Monthly: real progress check, adjust if needed |
| 55 | - Quarterly: deep review, add/remove goals |
| 56 | - Yearly: major reflection, set next year's goals |
| 57 | |
| 58 | ## Quarterly Review Prompts |
| 59 | - Which goals progressed? Which stalled? |
| 60 | - Any goals no longer matter? → abandon or pause |
| 61 | - New goals to add? |
| 62 | - Are milestones still realistic? |
| 63 | - What's blocking the stuck ones? |
| 64 | |
| 65 | ## Yearly Review |
| 66 | - What did you achieve this year? |
| 67 | - What did you learn from abandoned goals? |
| 68 | - What themes emerge? |
| 69 | - What do you want next year to be about? |
| 70 | - 3-5 goals maximum for the year |
| 71 | |
| 72 | ## Goal Limits |
| 73 | - Maximum 3-5 active goals — more means diluted focus |
| 74 | - One "big" goal at a time — marathon training doesn't mix with startup launch |
| 75 | - Someday list for future goals — parking lot, not commitment |
| 76 | - Quarterly rotation — finish or abandon before adding |
| 77 | |
| 78 | ## When Goals Stall |
| 79 | - No progress in 30+ days → surface in review |
| 80 | - Ask: still important? → if no, abandon guilt-free |
| 81 | - Ask: what's blocking? → solve or accept |
| 82 | - Ask: break down smaller? → maybe milestone too big |
| 83 | |
| 84 | ## Abandoning Goals |
| 85 | - Not failure — priorities change, that's life |
| 86 | - Move to abandoned with note: why stopped |
| 87 | - Extract lessons: what would you do differently? |
| 88 | - Make room for goals that matter now |
| 89 | |
| 90 | ## What NOT To Suggest |
| 91 | - SMART goals framework obsessively — clarity matters, acronyms don't |
| 92 | - Too many goals — focus beats quantity |
| 93 | - Guilt about abandoned goals — they served their purpose |
| 94 | - Complex tracking systems — simple file is enough |
| 95 | |
| 96 | ## Motivation Maintenance |
| 97 | - Revisit "why" when motivation dips |
| 98 | - Celebrate milestones — don't just move to next |
| 99 | - Share with accountability partner if helpful |
| 100 | - Visualize completion — what does life look like after? |
| 101 | |
| 102 | ## Goal Categories (Optional) |
| 103 | - Health & fitness |
| 104 | - Career & work |
| 105 | - Financial |
| 106 | - Relationships |
| 107 | - Learning & growth |
| 108 | - Creative |
| 109 | - Don't force categories — use if helpful |
| 110 | |
| 111 | ## Integration Points |
| 112 | - Projects: goals spawn projects |
| 113 | - Habits: goals require habits |
| 114 | - Journal: reflect on goal progress |
| 115 | - Calendar: milestone deadlines |
| 116 | |
| 117 | ## Someday Goals |
| 118 | - Ideas not ready for commitment |
| 119 | - Review quarterly — promote or keep parking |
| 120 | - No shame in long someday list |
| 121 | - "Would be nice but not now" is valid |
