hermes - 💡(How to fix) Fix [Feature]: Support for queueing goals (goal queue)

Problem or Use Case

Currently, Hermes Agent does not support queueing multiple goals. I am trying to work through a series of tasks (goals), but there's no way to queue up the next goal while the first is active. If I want Hermes to start a new objective after completing the current one, I have to manually set the next goal each time, which interrupts my workflow and makes longer chained tasks cumbersome.

Proposed Solution

Add support for queueing goals in Hermes Agent. For example, add a /queue-goal <text> command that allows users to stack additional goals while a goal is in progress. When the current goal completes or is cleared, Hermes should automatically promote and activate the next goal from the queue. The queue should persist across session restarts, and show pending items in /goal status.

Example workflow:

• /goal Fix failing tests
• /queue-goal Run the full test suite
• /queue-goal Generate test coverage report

As each goal completes, the next automatically activates.

Alternatives Considered

Alternatives:

• Manually set each goal after the prior goal completes (current approach, not scalable for longer task chains).

Why queueing is better: it reduces friction and automates chained objectives, making Hermes more powerful for power users and multi-goal projects.
