DisclaimerUnofficial, and not affiliated with Anthropic. Nearly all of this is read straight out of what ships: npm bundles, captured prompts, published docs. Anthropic's own notes go in verbatim, marked as theirs. The rest is my reading, and every entry carries the strings behind it. If one looks wrong, vote it down and say why.

Completion goals can skip the approval prompt

Useful4 Signal4
Goals Notable not in their notes

Completion goals can be set without an approval dialog by passing ask_user false; clear with /goal clear.

/goal clearask_user
What

The tool that sets a completion goal (a condition Claude works toward) now takes an ask_user boolean, default true. Set it false and no approval dialog appears; a visible notice is posted in the transcript instead, and you can undo the goal with /goal clear.

Details
  • The goal condition text is length-capped by the tool's schema.
  • The tool reports back both condition and askUser.
Usage
/goal clear
Evidence

the user can clear it with /goal clear

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
