Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

person-lookup scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Person Lookup

Cost Warning

Nyne /person/search uses PeopleDataLabs under the hood — $0.30 per record returned. For a single person lookup this is fine ($0.30), but avoid large result sets.

Cheaper alternatives for multi-result searches:

  • Apollo mixed_people/search: $0.01 flat per call → $GOOSEWORKS_API_BASE/v1/proxy/apollo/mixed_people/search
  • Fiber /v1/natural-language-search/profiles: $0.02/record$GOOSEWORKS_API_BASE/v1/proxy/fiber/v1/natural-language-search/profiles

Use Nyne only when you need to look up a specific individual by name + company.

Setup

Read your credentials from ~/.gooseworks/credentials.json:

export GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY=$(python3 -c "import json;print(json.load(open('$HOME/.gooseworks/credentials.json'))['api_key'])")
export GOOSEWORKS_API_BASE=$(python3 -c "import json;print(json.load(open('$HOME/.gooseworks/credentials.json')).get('api_base','https://api.gooseworks.ai'))")

If ~/.gooseworks/credentials.json does not exist, tell the user to run: npx gooseworks login

All endpoints use Bearer auth: -H "Authorization: Bearer $GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY"

Find detailed information about a person including work history, education, social profiles, and contact information.

When to Use

  • User asks about a specific person
  • User wants to find someone's background
  • User asks "who is [name]?"
  • Research on a professional
  • Finding contact information

How It Works

Uses the Nyne API to search person databases and aggregate professional information.

Usage

Search for a Person

curl -s -X POST $GOOSEWORKS_API_BASE/v1/proxy/orthogonal/run \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"api":"nyne","path":"/person/search","body":{"query":"Dario Amodei Anthropic"}}'

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
