How It Works

Objectives are the top-level unit of strategic planning — they represent weeks-to-months of work. The CEO decomposes objectives into tasks on the kanban board, then dispatches them to employees. Objectives can have a pg_cron schedule for automated advancement. Statuses: active → paused | completed | abandoned

​
List Objectives

naive objectives list
Returns all objectives with their status, progress, and linked task counts.

​
Create an Objective

naive objectives create "Launch email marketing campaign"
naive objectives create "Build company website" --criteria "3 pages live, mobile responsive"
naive objectives create "Hire engineering team" --drive "Scale product development" --priority high

​
Options

FlagDescription
--criteria <text>Success criteria — how to know this is done
--drive <text>Driving motivation or business rationale
--schedule <text>Target timeline (e.g., “2 weeks”, “2025-02-01”)
--priority <level>low, medium (default), high, critical

​

​
Pause an Objective

naive objectives pause obj-abc-123
Pausing an objective:
  • Sets status to paused
  • Existing in-progress tasks continue
  • No new tasks are created or dispatched for this objective
  • Resume with naive objectives update <id> --status active

​
Abandon an Objective

Permanently abandons the objective. Cancels all pending/in-progress tasks linked to it. Completed tasks are preserved. This cannot be undone.

# 1. Define a goal
naive objectives create "Launch product X" --criteria "Landing page live, 10 signups"

# 2. Let the CEO execute
naive ceo run "Decompose and execute objectives"

# 3. Monitor progress
naive objectives show obj-abc-123
naive tasks list --objective obj-abc-123

# 4. Track progress
naive objectives update obj-abc-123 --progress 50

# 5. Complete when done
naive objectives update obj-abc-123 --status completed
