Goose Skills is a library of workflows and data APIs that lets coding agents handle growth and go-to-market work such as advertising, social media, content, SEO, lead generation, and customer research. It is intended for teams using Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and similar agents. The catalogue entries are its reusable skills.
Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

SkillSpector: 7 findings, up to high
These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00019 | $0.01136 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00010 | $0.00568 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00004 | $0.00227 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00114 |
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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

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" \

curl -X POST "https://api.orth.sh/v1/run" \
-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.
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.

person-lookup is a skill published in the GitHub repository gooseworks-ai/goose-skills (1,202 stars, last pushed 11d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 19 tokens to every session and 1,136 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
