## Example

```bash
cat << 'EOF' | realign-goals --project development-hub
I want to build tools that make development easier. I believe in simple,
composable tools that do one thing well. Done means it works reliably and
has good docs. I'm currently working on the dashboard and goal tracking.
I won't build a web version - this is a desktop app only.
