goose

Goose is a leading agent runtime in the 2026 AI agent engineering landscape (50.6k★).

When to use this skill

• Local, extensible AI agent as desktop app, CLI, and API
• MCP-native extension system — any MCP server becomes a goose extension
• Recipes: shareable, parameterized agent task definitions
• Headless automation via goose run for CI and scripts
• Provider-agnostic model configuration incl. local models
• Sessions with resume; .goosehints for project context
• Ecosystem overlap: Complements mcp-server-design (goose consumes MCP servers); no runtime overlap in catalog
