What happened
The author walked through /goal, output styles, /keybindings, debugging settings via /status, and commit attribution; the /goal demo stopped with "✔ Goal achieved (36s · 3 turns · 2.8k tokens)" only after all three issues and pytest exit 0.
Why it matters
The condition is checked each turn by a separate small model that judges from what appeared in the conversation, so results must be surfaced in the chat — a practical constraint for anyone handing off multi-step work.

The piece is a hands-on walkthrough rather than an announcement. Each of the five items was tried in a small practice repository, and the author reports what came back on screen. For /goal, the demonstration deliberately limited the run to one fix per turn so the segmentation was visible; the evaluating model returned "Goal not yet met… continuing" after the first fix, then accepted the run after three fixes with 3 passed and exit=0. The author adds that /goal does not change permission mode, so unattended runs should use auto mode.
The settings section is the most operational. When a setting doesn't take effect, /status lists the files that were read under "Setting sources"; if the file is absent it wasn't read, if present but wrong you should suspect an override (local > project > user), and a ⚠ points to a formatting error that claude doctor can identify. In the worked example, a local file with an array matcher sat alongside the team's settings and produced a warning; deleting the model line and changing the matcher to the string "Edit|Write" restored the team model and cleared the warning.
On commits, the default Co-Authored-By line added by Claude Code is separate from the key signature. Emptying the attribution entries removes it, while subject-line conventions go in CLAUDE.md — which the author notes is not guaranteed to be followed, so anything that must always run belongs in hooks.
