xAI shipped a new mode called /goal inside Grok Build, its terminal coding agent. The feature targets long-running, autonomous task execution. You hand the agent a larger implementation task, then step back.
Most coding sessions require back-and-forth execution and verification. You prompt, the agent acts, and you verify each step. /goal changes that loop. The agent keeps working until a task is completed and verified. Verification can mean reviewing code, inspecting webpages, or executing scripts.
The mode packages that autonomy behind one command and a visible progress checklist.
TL;DR
/goal runs long, autonomous tasks inside Grok Build’s terminal agent.
