08 — TASKS & APPROVAL

Goals

A goal is work you hand over. Instead of asking a question you describe an outcome, and NORD works towards it in steps — with your approval for anything that leaves the building.

Use this for work that takes several steps and does not need you sitting beside it.

Starting a goal

  1. Go to Doelen in the left rail. The page is called Autonome doelen.
  2. In the Doelomschrijving field, describe the outcome, not the steps.
  3. Set a Budget (€). This is the most this goal may spend.
  4. Set Max. stappen. This is how many times NORD may push on before it stops and hands back.
  5. Press Doel starten.

You can also type /goal followed by the instruction in the chat or in the command palette; you land on this page with the text already filled in.

Describe an outcome, not a procedure

"Find the ten nearest installers and put them in a list with contact details" works better than a series of instructions. NORD asks questions first when something is missing, then works on independently, and asks for your approval before external actions.

What you see along the way

  • A status line with the phase the goal is in, and Stap with the current step number.
  • Spend against budget, as an amount and as a bar.
  • Chips for the tools used: grey while running, green on success, red on an error.
  • A block headed Sub-agent when NORD delegated a subtask. That block deliberately sits apart and looks different, so you never mistake a helper's output for NORD's own words.
  • Stop for as long as the goal runs. That aborts it; you pay what was used until then.

Steering without starting over

While a goal runs you can send refinements in the reply field. It says Jouw antwoorden / verfijning van het doel… — so you do not have to abort and restart because you forgot something.

What the budget covers

The Budget (€) applies to this one goal and is the only hard spending ceiling you set here. When the budget is gone the goal stops; it does not quietly continue against your general balance.

Note

A goal runs for as long as the budget and the steps reach. It stays afterwards with everything it did, so you can read it back later without running it again.
