FAQPage Schema

How do I convert vague goals into measurable milestones?▼

Goal management parses high-level objectives into structured, measurable milestones with defined weights. Break down broad aims like 'launch MVP' into concrete deliverables, assign progress values to each, and track completion across sessions using Serena persistence to prevent drift.

Can I track progress on goals across multiple sessions and context windows?▼

Yes. Serena MCP persistence stores goal state, milestones, and history across sessions, enabling you to set goals, list and update them, track velocity, and restore prior states without losing context or alignment data.

How do I designate and maintain a North Star goal?▼

Mark a goal as North Star with priority designation to maintain alignment across work waves. The Skill tracks linkage between waves and goals, verifies alignment, and preserves the North Star through context compaction and multi-session projects.

What's the best way to extract milestone weights and calculate progress?▼

Goal management automatically extracts milestones from parsed goals and assigns weights based on scope. Progress is calculated from completed milestones, surfacing velocity insights to show how much of each North Star objective is done.

Can I restore previous goal states or view goal history?▼

Yes. The Skill maintains full history of goal changes and supports restore operations, letting you revert to prior states, audit decisions, and handoff goals with their complete lineage to other users or sessions.

Do I need additional tools to persist goals across projects?▼

Serena MCP is a required dependency for persistent storage. It backs all goal state, milestone data, and history, enabling continuity across waves and context compaction without manual re-entry or state loss.
