Claude Code just got 10X Better (Agentic OS) transcript

Claude Code agentic systems just got 10 times better. Claude Code and Hermes just released the goal feature and it is game-changing, but only if you know how to use it correctly. This enables them to solve complex problems and in this video I'll show you exactly how to use the goals feature and a brand new system I found that enables to build goals over multiple weeks that will help you save time and grow your business unlocking brand new capabilities.

And if you're new, my name is Jack. I built an similar last tech startup with existing customers. Now I'm running my own AI startups and I just share here the stuff that works. So if you haven't already, grab that beautiful coffee and let's dive straight in. Now these goals are incredible, but when we turn them into long-term skills, which I call Chief Whigham 2.0 as you're going to see, it works for Hermes, it also works for Claude Code, it connects to our entire agentic memory system and it does unlock new things and I can't wait to share with you because I've been working on this for a while and I think you're going to love it.

So we have to start with what is r/goal and what does it mean? So r/goal, if you're not familiar, essentially is a goal that survives across turns. So instead of saying, "Hey, do this thing," you effectively begin to have a conversation, a rapport if you like, with Hermes, with Open Claude, with Claude Code until the defined goal is actually achieved. Okay? Now typically speaking, this was known as the Ralph loop where you basically specify exactly what you want to be true and then the agent would run in a loop until it hits a criteria.

Okay? So you know Ralph but what I'm going to show you here blends the realities because I've actually used these goals. I can tell you where they fall down and I'm sure you've seen this too, how we can actually improve them and make them actually effective by bringing in time and also you into the equation. I call this Chief Whigham, it's kind of Ralph 2.0. So the way this is going to work, uh if you think about it, auto loop, we have a worker, a judge and a loop.

That's effectively what's happening with the system. Now this works and has been released across different platforms. Claude X released at the end of April, then Claude, and then our beautiful Hermes agent has also come to the table. Now, before we go on to the long-term goals, the real juice, we have to understand the foundations of these skills and mechanical capabilities are unlocked in Claude and Hermes. Now, first I want to do is get a short-term goal skill like so.

I'm going to come over here and grab it. This will be available for you down below in the description. This is really cool. I just want you to go ahead and literally copy this. Now, we can do this in Hermes, we can also do it in Claude code. I'll show you exactly what I mean. Awesome. So, now I'm learning Claude. I'm going to come down here and I'm going to do forward slash G for goal, and goal will appear. Now, if you don't see this yet, I want you to come over to the terminal.

So, first thing I'm going to do is a quick yum. And what you might need to do, if you haven't already, is just basically update your Claude, which if you're not familiar, you come down here, you click on terminal. All you're going to do is space Claude update, and this will make sure that you've downloaded the very latest version of Claude. Also, it needs to trust the environment you're in. So, if you haven't, just run this code right here in your terminal and basically it will make sure that it trusts your desktop, okay?

Now, we've got this here, so I'm going to do forward slash goal to begin the exercise. Now, the thing is like goals, if you don't configure them properly, are actually worthless. Essentially, for a goal to be worth anything at all, they need to do three things. They need to be measurable, they need to be scoped, and they need to be self-served. In the context of short-term goals, think about it from this point of view, okay?

You'd say something that is quantifiably measurable. For example, create for me five slides. That's great. You would say build a sign-up form rather than build a SAS. One day, we'll do that. But, unlike the goals that make it New Year's Eve, these are going to be ones that can actually be accomplished. And by self-served, it means to me like send 10 outreach emails versus close three sponsorships. So, you see what I'm saying?

They need to be measurable, they need to be scoped, so something realistically done within 20 turns until I show you the V2 in this video, which you're going to make sure you're buckled in and ready for, and they're self-served. So, for example, think about it like this. If you put garbage in, you give it a good goal, you'll get good stuff out. If you give it a bad goal, you will get garbage out. So, when we're ready to rock and roll, we can literally come down here and do {slash} goal and begin our beautiful journey.

Now, of course, if you want to, you can also create a short-term goal creator skill. This basically explains everything it should be. You can literally paste this into your agent and it will basically spell out for you the perfect short-form skill generator. Okay, key thing is it's measurable, it's something that's realistically achievable in 20 turns until I show you the V2 in a second, and it's also So, for example, I could say, "Hey there, dude, do me a favor.

I want you to go over on YouTube. I want you to find me the top five videos on Hermes agent in the last 2 weeks, and I want you to tell me based on the comments and the topics, what are the ideas and philosophies that are going viral right now for that audience?" And I'd like to create for me a specific HTML presentation to show me what that looks like. Awesome, it's scoped, it hits all by three criteria, and then we can send that one off.

And in tandem, we can do the exact same thing with Hermes agent. And then on Hermes agent, I'm going to do {slash} goal, and I'm going to say, "Hey there, I would like you to go ahead and find for me the largest untapped niche based on the products on Product Hunt. I'd like it to use Firecrawl to do fantastic research, and the output I'd like back from you is a detailed list of the best, second best, and third best products that you could be creating in 2026 based on market demand.

Do me a HTML presentation with some of your findings, please." Send that one off, and now this will just start to iterate and do everything it needs to in the background. I'm going to say, "If you don't have the Firecrawl integration, just let me know what you need." And then we're going to send this one off and then just let it come back with all of its key information there. And what's really cool here, you can see that it's solving its own problems, right?

So, for example, it tried to use a data API key that had expired. And now just on that, it's actually going ahead and found something else, a different alternative route, and it's not coming back and asking me a million things. It's just cracking on in its own way until it solves the problem, which is super handy. And guys, one of the reasons why we're using Firecrawl is cuz it is profoundly effective at actually getting the right information, and it's significantly cheaper.

It has the ability to read web pages cuz basically web pages have load of HTML. When we use something like Firecrawl, effectively it's able to navigate and only extract the relevant stuff that it physically needs. So, it's fantastic for that sort of stuff and what I use to build these kind of things. If you don't have it, you can literally just grab your API key and put it in your credentials. And just like that, Hermes agent has gone back and got the presentation for us, launch clusters and the latest 50 posts and it's given all that detail and it's pretty much done this for us in one go, which is fantastic.

And just like that, it's basically analyzed the videos, found the top trending, had a look at the comments, and produced this incredible resource for us to look at. And this is very cool, but the goals function has one huge limitation and drawback. The scope is so small and it has one big problem that we can actually solve with a Claude code agentic operating system. And essentially what we're going to be able to do, guys, is build out longer-term goals using our agentic operating system, which we can trigger with Claude or we can trigger with Hermes and you're going to see exactly what I mean because this is freaking epic.

So, let me explain what I mean, okay. So, think about this. Every goal demo is essentially one sprint, right? For example, you have one thing that an AI agent is doing. It has to achieve that task text narrowly, but the problem is that in reality any goal that you want to achieve that is of any significance is going to require you to do things, right? Any big goal, what I would call mid-term goals. So, the way that I built this mid-term goal, we'll call it Achieve Wickham, effectively is that you're going to give it a larger task to do.

For example, go ahead and launch a 5-day email course and get me 500 sign-ups in 4 weeks. This is the kind of goal that you can build an agentic operating system, right? And what it'll do is come back and ask you questions. It's based on the system that I built. It'll say, "Great. What's the course topic and the exact outcome promised, right? What assets already exist? What's your current audience? Which platforms are you signed up to?

Can Hermes access or write to any of these tools directly? What channels are you willing to do on it?" And only when you have that level of context can you realistically build an actual strategy. And this system that I built will work in Claude, it will work in Hermes or any of the systems that you're building. It won't guess, it will map to the real world, and it will write this back. And crucially, it has one huge unlock that I want you to take aboard with this goals thing.

Because real goals require two things right now. They need technical sprints that are going to be managed and dominated by AI, and they need what I call real-world handshakes. It's stuff that only you can do, like record a 3-minute Loom video. Right, you know, things like that you actually need to be involved in the process of creating. So, great, Jack. What is an excellent long-term goal? Well, typically speaking, we want something shippable in around 3 to 4 weeks.

I want a binary deliverable. So, for example, it needs to be something that we can be specific has happened. And what we're going to do here, as you can see, is break down the delivery into roles. So, AI will do one thing, you'll do another, and essentially, we break every mini goal down in between what you're doing and what AI is doing at the same time. And so, to do this, I'm going to be using the Agentyc operating system.

And by the way, if you haven't already seen it, I've got a full Claude Code masterclass starting from foundation setups, building websites, power features. All this is stuff that I have not included on YouTube. It goes very, very deep, design systems, compliance, turning into dollars, and everything that you can just go ahead and grab by clicking the link down below. And also, I have to call this out, which is really important, is that you can literally grab all this stuff by coming down Claude Code or Hermes Agentyc operating system.

And you can download it. I've got a full explainer guide of how you get everything. So, literally, you can build all this stuff, or you can literally come over and just grab this entire dashboard, and then connect it to everything. Because in the home section of this, it will track your spend ditch, your usage. It will drain and analyze all of the files on your laptop and give you specific recommendations of how exactly you can approve.

And the coolest thing that I've just added is this mission control. And I'll show you exactly how it works. And if you want to build your own, I'll put a link as well so you can create this prompt, which is down here in the long goal skill. And all you're going to do is pretty much grab this here, and this explains the whole flow in the prompt. So, you can just give it and start working around to build it, which is pretty cool.

So, how does this actually physically work? Well, let's go ahead, okay, and let's go to the Hermes agent and try this whole long-term goal skill up. So, what we're going to do is going to come down here. It's true, every hero does need a goal. We're going to come down here, and we're going to copy this prompt. Then, I'm going to head over to your Hermes agent. Or, if you want to do Claude, again, just go to the Claude section and copy that one.

Okay, beautiful. So, now I'm on my Hermes agent. Let me go ahead and drop in that prompt like so. And this will cover everything. I'll explain what goes into this, but essentially, we've been really specific on exactly what it needs to do in terms of creating this long-term goal. Now, the way this will work is we're using the r/goal feature, but we're breaking it down into manageable chunks. And when you're required to make an action, it will actually tag you in and let you know what needs to be.

So, the first thing that Hermes or Claude, based on where you enter this, is going to come back and ask you is, "What's the great goal you want me to help you ship? Give me a sentence or short paragraph, and I will turn it into a structured mission." So, it comes out and asks these wonderful eight questions. "What is the course topic? What is a yes-no check deadline? What already exists right now? Do you have a warm pool already?

What accounts and platforms and assets do you have on hand that I need to connect to? What parts require you personally outside of chat?" So, you can see, without this context, we wouldn't possibly be able to create a mid-term goal. So, I came back, I answered his questions, and again, he's asking further clarification questions. "Your YouTube will pull my results here. Roughly, how many subscribers or viewers do you have now?" This is all built into the Agentyc operating system dashboard, and all you do is you stack these mid-term goals up, and you keep crushing them, and then these Hermes and Claude just run away and crush it.

So, we just answered these follow-up questions here. So, we're going to come down, answer these. So, I have roughly, call it 1.5 million views a month. Since there's no site listed, I'm happy for you to, yeah, create an opt-in system. That sounds fantastic. I'm happy to record four videos. That is no problem at all. I'll do short-form, long-form. Obviously, you just tell me what's going to be best. And it seems to Hermes Agent best course.

Whatever you think, do the research and let me know how you think that'd be decent to do that. And there are no hard constraints. Uh probably no paid ads. I'd like to do this organically. Let me know what you think. So again, you just give it your own and yap your own thoughts and we send that one off. And let Hermes do the magic in the background. And just like that, it's actually going to head and set the mission with six mini goals.

So what we're going to do now is come back over to the dashboard. And you can check these in Hermes Agent. Alternatively, you can check it in Claude. But if I scroll down now, you're going to see we have everything here. So look, launch Hermes course to 500 sign-ups. 500 opted into free email course. Also, what you can do and I built into this for you as well, if you come over to your home section, you can see when you scroll down, you now have this one here as well.

And the idea with this in my mind is that effectively, you can either chat with Hermes on the go when you're about. So you can do that. Or you can do it in Claude. So these are one-to-one match, connected to the same system. And it what this will basically do is explain what your jobs are and what its job is. So for example, what this needs you to do is record the promo videos. Awesome. But then, what it's going to do is shape the course promise, build the opt-in engine and it's basically broken these down into individual um chunks.

So if you want to learn more about this, what do we do? Well, we click into this like so. And what it's done is automatically built this into a beautiful optimized prompt. So in this case, all we do is copy this one like so. We would then head over to our wonderful Hermes Agent. And then we literally come down here and all we're going to do is come down, copy and paste like so and send that one off. And you can see the goal here, okay?

So look, launch Hermes course to 500 sign-ups, mini goal one. Binary outcome. 500 opted into free Hermes email course. Research shape the strongest free 5-day Hermes Agent email course promise for a creator. So what's really cool here is that it's really broken down and this probably took a lot of time when I was building this out to really get the specific. But breaking it down into, okay, like if this is the midterm goal, like specifically what mini goals would we need to achieve?

So, what we're doing here is leveraging the power of the R/ goal, but we're also recognizing that there's a human aspect into it. So, when we want to hit those midterm goals, like actual meaningful things, not just like running around circles, not really accomplishing much, we can really leverage both things together, the human and the agent. And it's that harmony, I think, that will actually drive all the value and I found to be super effective.

And look, now it's running around, it's doing all the research, and we'll just work for us in the background. And the cool thing, guys, is once this is actually completed its mission, all you literally do is you come down and you mark that off. And then we go to the next section, and again, any point you can come down and see. So, for example, here on action four, it's told me you need to go ahead, Jack, and actually record the videos, then I can work on the other campaigns.

So, if I click on this, for example, I can see I've got the headline action that I need to do. And I can go through this and say, "Okay, this is really cool. This is what I need to do. And look at this, use the scripts and hooks in this location, timebox 90 minutes, and include a quick note on which take is best." That's it. So, now we're actually leveraging your physical work with the agents. And then obviously, after this, it's got one final thing here for pushing the final sign-ups, and this can go ahead and look, it's even referencing all the assets that we let So, look, it's told that, "Hey Jack, record the stuff, put it in this folder." And then it's told itself action five, "Look, Jack's got this cool stuff there.

Go ahead and push that live for us." How freaking cool is that? And then obviously, whenever you have an active mission control, we've got to show that, guys. We're going to have a little bit of a green a green buzzing button to show that it's actually working. But this is really cool, and then when you're done with it, you can literally hit drop and then replenish a new one. And of course, you can go down and grab this prompt to go ahead and it builds you up those individual sections and build it into any dashboard you want to.

Or if you want to go grab this one, you click the link down below and I'll be ready to rock and roll. Now, building super goals is one thing, but if you don't have an agentic operating system that's connecting everything you're doing on your computer, you don't have the visibility over cost and where you can improve. So, the next thing I'm going to do is slot this into your system by watching this video right here.
