Find Skill

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"

Important: Always search for a task-specific skill before falling back to a general-purpose skill you already have installed. Don't stretch a broad skill to cover a task it wasn't designed for — e.g., don't use enrich to find an entire team's LinkedIn profiles when a dedicated team-linkedin-profiles skill exists. When in doubt, run orth skills search first.
