About This Skill

Restaurant Booking

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"

Key Selectors (OpenTable)

Field	Selector
First name	`input#firstName`
Last name	`input#lastName`

Submit	`button:has-text('Complete reservation')`
Time slots	`button:has-text('7:00 PM')`

Finding Restaurant IDs

Search OpenTable and extract from URL:

restref=1906 → Foreign Cinema
Restaurant slug in URL path

Example URL format:

https://www.opentable.com/r/{restaurant-slug}?restref={id}&datetime={YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM}&covers={n}

Tips

OpenTable holds table for 5 minutes - move fast
Use fill action with value param (not type with text)
Click terms via label text, not checkbox directly
No credit card needed - reservations are free
Confirmation email sent automatically

Resy Alternative

If restaurant uses Resy:

https://resy.com/cities/{city}/venues/{restaurant}?date={YYYY-MM-DD}&seats={n}

Similar flow but different selectors. Scrape page first to identify form fields.

After Booking

Create calendar event with gog calendar create
Add attendees and location

Video Production Harness

Full video production sequence with script review, actual ingredient choices, controlled generation, editing, evidence-based quality review, polish, captions and delivery. A host binding supplies project storage, authentic approvals, provider access and billing.

Render Street Interview

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 Video Ad Script

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.
