Quick Start
AI Coding Agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, etc)
Paste this into your coding agent (Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex) and it'll set everything up:
Install the Gooseworks skills:
In the terminal, run `npx gooseworks install --all`.
Then run `npx gooseworks login` and it'll open a browser to sign in and set up the tools, then confirm it worked.
The skills can be used with /gooseworks <prompt>
Claude Cowork
Run this command in a terminal first:
npx gooseworks install --all
Then authenticate:
npx gooseworks login
Then make sure you're working inside a local folder on your machine, and then you can use the skills in Cowork like this:
Use /gooseworks skill to generate some ad creatives
Install manually
Prefer to run it yourself? Use the command directly:
npx gooseworks install --all # All detected agents
This gives your coding agent access to the full catalog of 200+ skills. After installing, just ask your agent to use any skill by name.
If you want a cloud-based AI coworker that already knows all these skills and more, sign up to Gooseworks
Commands
npx gooseworks search "reddit scraping" # Search the skill catalog
npx gooseworks credits # Check your credit balance
npx gooseworks update # Update to latest skill version

Security & Trust
These skills run inside your coding agent, so it's worth knowing exactly what they do:
- Open source & inspectable. Every skill — its
SKILL.md instructions and all scripts — lives in this repo under the MIT license. The gooseworks CLI fetches skills at runtime so recipes stay current, but the source you'd run is right here to read, diff, or pin before you run it.
- Scripts run locally. Skill scripts execute on your machine and write to
/tmp/gooseworks-scripts/, never into your project directory. Only API requests go through GooseWorks servers; review any script before letting your agent run it.
- Your agent stays in control. The skills are a tool your agent reaches for when it fits the task (data at scale, sources behind auth, a specific provider) — not a replacement for its built-in web search or fetch on quick lookups. You can read or edit any installed
SKILL.md to tune that behavior.
- Credentials stay local. Auth is a Bearer token stored at
~/.gooseworks/credentials.json (file mode 0600). Third-party provider keys (Apify, Apollo, etc.) are held server-side — your token never touches them. All network calls are HTTPS.
- The MCP server is opt-in. Registering the GooseWorks MCP server is off by default; it only happens if you explicitly run
gooseworks install --mcp.
Found something that looks off? Open an issue — we'd rather fix it in public.
