Use a PR milestone to reflect on archived goals
A fresh commit marks progress. Notis can bring archived Beeminder goals into a brief reflection that helps you decide what to carry forward.
Trigger
New Commit Added to Pull Request
Triggers when a new commit is pushed to a specific pull request. Monitors all commits on the specified pull request and emits an event for each newly added commit. This covers force-pushes and additional commits pushed to the PR's head branch.
Action
Get Archived Goals

Why this helps
Past goals and lessons can disappear from view just when current work could benefit from them.

- Notice past commitments while planning current work
- Keep reflection brief and connected to a real code event
