Developer Robert Courson has released "supergoal," a plugin that turns task descriptions into autonomous, self-healing software builds. It works with Claude Code and Codex CLI, and is designed to carry a project from planning through implementation and audit after a single approval.

An AI coding agent that plans, executes, verifies and repairs itself — while you sleep
Supergoal, an MIT-licensed plugin for Claude Code and Codex CLI, turns a plain task description into a full autonomous run: recon, adaptive phases, self-healing on failure, and a final audit — approved once, then finished by morning.

Self-healing rule before any human hand-off

Adaptive phases for a full-stack greenfield build

Approval needed — then it runs to completion

Phases scale with the task
No fixed upper limit — the harder the job, the more phases it plans.

The 3-strike self-healing loop
How Supergoal responds when a phase fails.
STRIKE 1
Inject a probe to diagnose the cause, then retry automatically.
→
STRIKE 2
Create a fix-spec and run the fix inline.
→
STRIKE 3
Hand off to a human for review.
One /supergoal command, per phase
Codebase recon & preload of prior learnings from memory
Breaks task into adaptive phases, weighs risks & best practices
Self-critique plus a pre-flight smoke check before launch
Records starting HEAD sha as a Baseline ref for the final audit
"Cleanliness pass" greps for debug prints, TODOs and dead imports
Writes non-obvious learnings back to memory after each phase
WELL RECEIVED
Unattended runs praised — submit a task before bed, find it finished by morning. Self-correction of vague criteria and pre-flight checks avoid wasted loops.
CAVEATS
Depends on Claude Code / Codex /goal engine; subjective UI/UX checks still prompt the user. Large-scale benchmarks and failure cases remain limited at launch.
