Let Claude work for 8 hours while you sleep. One command. Zero babysitting.

The exact condition-builder prompt I use, 5 ready-to-paste long-running goal templates, the drift checkpoint pattern that stops 90% of long-run failures, and the Codex parity context most coverage skips.

  • The /goal-condition-builder prompt (Anthropic's 3-part framework: measurable end state + verifiable check + drift constraints), works identically for Claude /goal and Codex /goal
  • 5 ready-to-paste goal templates (test migration, issue backlog drain, file splitting, doc backfill, dependency upgrade)
  • How Claude /goal compares to Codex's /goal, where each pulls ahead, where they're at parity, why the condition is the entire game
  • Real receipts from the 8-hour run in the video: git log, test output, PR view
