# goal/ — persisted same-session goals

English | [中文](README.zh.md)

Durable objective state for an agent session, owned independently of the model-facing tools and continuation policy that consume it. Goal state is part of the owning session log; consumers depend on `dsh-goal`, never on the concrete agent loop.
