Find and install skills from the Orthogonal skill library. Use when you need capabilities you don't have, want to discover available skills, or need to add new tools to your agent.
npx gooseworks install --all # then, in Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex: /gooseworks use the find-skill skill
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.

Build a vox-pop street interview video ad. An interviewer with a handheld mic asks passers-by one question about the brand's product, they give blunt wrong guesses, one gives the real answer, and the cut lands on a branded end card. Generates the takes through the GooseWorks fal proxy (Seedance 2.0 with native voice), then grades, re-cuts, captions and gates them locally. Use for the street-interview format.
Write the words of a short-form video ad (voiceover, dialogue, chat bubbles, on-screen lines) the way performance creative teams do instead of from a blank page. Builds the script from the buyers' own words, the beat sheet of an ad that already works and three deliberately different angles, filters them with a rule check and a second non-Claude model, and takes the strongest into the review with the other two as one-line swaps. Use it in every video ad run before any paid step, and whenever the user asks to write, rewrite or improve a video ad script or says a script sounds generic or AI-written.
An iMessage video ad shows a text conversation on an iPhone screen. Here is how a single skill teaches Claude to build one, with sound and an end card.
