Hivemind Goals & Tasks
Teaches Claude to create, track, park and close team goals and tasks as Markdown files in the Deeplake virtual filesystem under ~/.deeplake/memory/goal/.

What it does
- Fires automatically on phrases like "add a goal", "create a task", "remind me to fix X", or any measurable target.
- Stores each goal as a Markdown file at
~/.deeplake/memory/goal/<owner>/<status>/<uuid>.md— the path encodes owner, status and ID, never the body. - Status transitions (
opened → in_progress → closed) are plainmvoperations; every write becomes a new version row in the team-sharedhivemind_goalstable. - Supports "parking" a tangential task mid-session with a resumable context block (
Start here / Files / Branch / Run / Why) so a future session can pick it up cold. - Documents its constraints clearly:
rmis a soft-close (no hard delete in v1), Write/Edit tools are denied on memory paths, and only Bash is routed to the VFS.
Who it's for
- Teams already running Activeloop Hivemind with Deeplake.
- Developers who lose context between Claude Code sessions.
- Groups that want shared goal visibility without a separate tracker.
Examples
- "Track 5 PRs this week" → generates a UUID with
uuidgenand writes the goal file intoopened/. - "Save adding rate-limiting to the webhook handler for later" →
hivemind goal add --agent capturewith files, branch and test command baked in. - "Let's pick up that parked task" →
hivemind goal list --mine,hivemind goal get <id>to reload full context, thenmvintoin_progress/.

If Claude can't open the link, open it yourself and paste the contents instead.
↓ If it works for you, download the ZIP below and install it. Then it runs on its own — no pasting each time.
Install in the Claude app (no terminal)
- Download the ZIP with the button below.
- In Claude, open Settings → Capabilities and turn on 'Code execution and file creation'. (one time)
- Go to Customize → Skills → + → 'Upload a skill' and upload the ZIP.
Install in Claude Code
Let Claude do it — paste this into Claude Code
Install the skill I found on Claude Skill Mart. Copy the harnesses/claude-code/skills/hivemind-goals folder from the GitHub repo activeloopai/hivemind into my ~/.claude/skills/hivemind-goals/. When it's done, tell me in one line what this skill can do.
Install with a command instead
git clone https://github.com/activeloopai/hivemind.git /tmp/hivemind && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r /tmp/hivemind/harnesses/claude-code/skills/hivemind-goals ~/.claude/skills/⚠ This is a third-party skill. Check the source repository before installing.
- Make sure the Hivemind CLI and Deeplake virtual filesystem are installed and authenticated —
hivemind whoamishould print your username. - Clone the repo:
git clone https://github.com/activeloopai/hivemind.git /tmp/hivemind - Create the skills folder:
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills - Copy the skill in:
cp -r /tmp/hivemind/harnesses/claude-code/skills/hivemind-goals ~/.claude/skills/ - Restart Claude Code and try saying "list my goals" to confirm the skill triggers.
- If nothing happens, check that the VFS is mounted with
ls ~/.deeplake/memory/goal/.
