goal_skill

Overview

This skill manages health goals and habits using SMART goal setting, progress tracking, and visualization reports. It helps you define specific, measurable targets, log daily habit completions, and view progress summaries and predictions. The system also supports milestone tracking and achievement unlocking to keep motivation high.

How this skill works

The skill parses user input to identify actions (set goal, update progress, record habit, review, or generate report). It validates required fields, applies a SMART checklist, and constructs structured goal or habit objects. Progress updates recalculate percentages, streaks, and predictive completion dates, and visualization reports summarize status and trends.

When to use it

• When you want to set a clear health goal with measurable targets and a deadline
• When you need to log progress toward weight, fitness, sleep, or nutrition goals
• When you want to record daily habit completions and track streaks
• When you need a progress report or predicted completion date
• When you want achievement notifications for milestones and streaks

Best practices

• Define goals with specific metrics and a target date to pass SMART validation
• Provide baseline and current values when setting or updating progress
• Add simple, actionable steps in the action plan to improve achievability
• Record habits consistently (daily/weekly) to maintain accurate streaks
• Review visual reports regularly and adjust targets if predictions show off-track

Example use cases

• Set a 6-month weight-loss goal with target value, start date, and action plan
• Record daily morning stretch completions to build a streak and unlock achievements
• Update weekly exercise progress and view percent complete with milestone checks
• Generate a visualization report showing progress, predicted completion date, and suggestions
• Adjust a goal if SMART validation flags unrealistic targets or missing deadlines
