goose-agentfs-setup

goose-agentfs-setup is a skill for Claude Code from rhtevan/agentfs. It costs 20 tokens per session (2,541 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A Goose configuration for loading project instruction files used by other coding agents. These include CLAUDE.md, .cursorrules, .windsurfrules, and GitHub Copilot instructions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to make Goose find and load shared coding rules from global and project folders.
Why use it?
Goose normally loads its own context files but may ignore instructions already written for other tools.

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

goose-agentfs-setup scanned grade A with 0 findings 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 22d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/setup.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Goose AgentFS Setup

Configure Goose to discover and load cross-agent context files, making it fully compatible with projects that use Claude Code (CLAUDE.md), Cursor (.cursorrules), Windsurf (.windsurfrules), or GitHub Copilot conventions.

Problem

Goose loads AGENTS.md and .goosehints by default. Many GitHub repos include CLAUDE.md (the de facto standard from Claude Code) with valuable project context that Goose silently ignores unless configured.

Context File Agent Goose Default?
AGENTS.md AgentFS / Goose ✅
.goosehints Goose ✅
CLAUDE.md Claude Code ❌
.cursorrules Cursor ❌
.windsurfrules Windsurf ❌
.github/copilot-instructions.md GitHub Copilot ❌

Goose supports loading any context file via the CONTEXT_FILE_NAMES configuration parameter — it just needs to be told which files to look for.

What This Skill Does

Adds cross-agent context filenames to Goose's CONTEXT_FILE_NAMES configuration in ~/.config/goose/config.yaml, so Goose automatically discovers and loads them from both global (~/.config/goose/) and project-local directories (CWD + subdirectories).

How Context File Loading Works in Goose

Goose's context file loading (load_hints.rs) does the following:

  1. Global hints: Reads each configured filename from ~/.config/goose/<filename>. When AGENTS.md is in the list, also reads ~/.agents/AGENTS.md.
  2. Project hints: Reads each configured filename from CWD up to the git root (or just CWD if not in a git repo).
  3. Subdirectory hints: As the agent touches files in subdirectories, it discovers and loads configured filenames from those directories too.
  4. Import support: All context files support @file imports for including referenced files inline.

All discovered content is concatenated into the system prompt.

Prerequisites

  • Goose installed with config.yaml support (v1.30+)
  • Config file at ~/.config/goose/config.yaml

Files

What ships with it

3 files 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.

goose-agentfs-setup is a skill published in the GitHub repository rhtevan/agentfs (2 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 20 tokens to every session and 2,541 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
