`goose` assists in solving a wide range of programming and operational tasks. It is a live virtual developer you can interact with, guide, and learn from.
To solve problems, `goose` breaks down instructions into sequences of tasks and carries them out using tools. Its ability to connect its changes with real outcomes (e.g. errors) and course correct is its most powerful and exciting feature. `goose` is free open source software and is built to be extensible and customizable.
`goose` works on top of LLMs (you need to bring your own LLM). By default, `goose` uses `openai` as LLM provider. You need to set OPENAI_API_KEY as an environment variable if you would like to use `openai`.
You can edit this configuration file to use different LLMs and toolkits in `goose`. `goose can also be extended to support any LLM or combination of LLMs
Model for complex, multi-step tasks such as writing code and executing commands. Example: `gpt-4o`. You should choose the model based the provider you configured.
#### accelerator
Small model for fast, lightweight tasks. Example: `gpt-4o-mini`. You should choose the model based the provider you configured.
*`developer`: for general-purpose development capabilities, including plan management, shell execution, and file operations, with default shell strategies like using ripgrep.
but probably does a good job if prompted with `"create a Fastapi app with an endpoint for deposit and withdrawal
and with account balances stored in mysql keyed by id"`
- If `goose` doesn't have enough context to start with, it might go down the wrong direction. Tell it
to read files that you are referring to or search for objects in code. Even better, ask it to summarize
them for you, which will help it set up its own next steps.
- Refer to any objects in files with something that is easy to search for, such as `"the MyExample class"
-`goose`*loves* to know how to run tests to get a feedback loop going, just like you do. If you tell it how you test things locally and quickly, it can make use of that when working on your project
- You can use `goose` for tasks that would require scripting at times, even looking at your screen and correcting designs/helping you fix bugs, try asking it to help you in a way you would ask a person.
-`goose` will make mistakes, and go in the wrong direction from times, feel free to correct it, or start again.
- You can tell `goose` to run things for you continuously (and it will iterate, try, retry) but you can also tell it to check with you before doing things (and then later on tell it to go off on its own and do its best to solve).
-`goose` can run anywhere, doesn't have to be in a repo, just ask it!
G❯ In this golang project, I want you to add open telemetry to help me get started with it. Look in the moneymovements module, run the `just test` command to check things work.
G❯ This project uses an old version of jooq. Upgrade to the latest version, and ensure there are no incompatibilities by running all tests. Dependency versions are in gradle/libs.versions.toml and to run gradle, use the binary located in bin/gradle
```
```
G❯ This is a fresh checkout of a golang project. I do not have my golang environment set up. Set it up and run tests for this project, and ensure they pass. Use the zookeeper jar included in this repository rather than installing zookeeper via brew.
**A:** You can find out the LLM provider and models in the configuration file `~/.config/goose/profiles.yaml` here to check whether your LLM provider account has access to the models. For example, after you have made a successful payment of $5 or more (usage tier 1), you'll be able to access the GPT-4, GPT-4 Turbo, GPT-4o models via the OpenAI API. [How can I access GPT-4, GPT-4 Turbo, GPT-4o, and GPT-4o mini?](https://help.openai.com/en/articles/7102672-how-can-i-access-gpt-4-gpt-4-turbo-gpt-4o-and-gpt-4o-mini).
To run `goose` from source, please see `CONTRIBUTING.md` for instructions on how to set up your environment and you can then run `uv run `goose` session start`.
