  plugins: [
    GoalsPlugin,
    // Recommended companion plugins
    RolodexPlugin, // For cross-platform messaging
    TaskPlugin, // For confirmation workflows
  ],
  // ... other configuration
});

Advanced Configuration

// Environment variables for fine-tuning
process.env.GOAL_CHECK_INTERVAL = "60000"; // Reminder check frequency
process.env.GOAL_BATCH_SIZE = "10"; // Batch processing size
process.env.GOAL_MAX_CONCURRENT = "5"; // Concurrent reminder limit

💡 Usage Examples

Natural Language Goal Creation

// Daily tasks with streak tracking
"Add a daily task to exercise for 30 minutes";
"Create a daily reminder to take vitamins";

// Priority-based one-off tasks
"Add a high priority task to submit the report by Friday";
"Create an urgent goal to call the client today";

// Aspirational goals
"I want to learn Japanese someday";
"Add a goal to write a novel";

Smart Reminder Interactions

// User receives: "⚠️ OVERDUE [URGENT]: Submit quarterly report (was due 2 days ago)"
// Response options: "✅ Mark Complete", "📅 Reschedule", "😴 Snooze 1 Day", "🔕 Dismiss"

// User receives: "⏰ REMINDER: Team meeting in 15 minutes!"
// Response options: "✅ Mark Complete", "⏰ Snooze 15 min", "⏰ Snooze 1 hour"

// User receives: "📅 Daily Reminder: Exercise - Don't break your 5-day streak!"
// Response options: "✅ Complete", "⏭️ Skip Today", "🔕 Dismiss"

Programmatic API Usage

// Smart reminder recommendations
const smartService = runtime.getService("SMART_REMINDER");
const recommendation = await smartService.getSmartReminderRecommendation(goal);
console.log(
  `Optimal time: ${recommendation.optimalTime}, confidence: ${recommendation.confidence}`,
);

// Cross-platform messaging
const bridge = runtime.getService("GOAL_INTEGRATION_BRIDGE");
const success = await bridge.sendCrossPlatformReminder(
  goal,
  "Custom message",
  "high",
);

// Confirmation workflows
const confirmService = runtime.getService("GOAL_CONFIRMATION");
