The outcome
Receive a verified result without exposing unrelated local data or allowing silent external side effects.
Step by step
A workflow you can repeat.
- 01
Choose one task and create a dedicated workspace containing only authorized inputs, with a clean branch or recoverable copy for editable files.
- 02
Select an approved model provider and review its data terms, credential location, model cost, and whether a local model meets the need.
- 03
Enable only the built-in tools and reviewed extensions required, then state the outcome, constraints, evidence, stop conditions, and forbidden actions.
- 04
Ask goose to inspect and plan first; monitor prompt-injection warnings, permissions, tool calls, shell commands, network requests, and intermediate outputs.
- 05
Verify sources, calculations, diffs, and tests independently, remove temporary credentials, and approve external changes only through the normal workflow.
Working standard
What good use looks like.
- Use a dedicated workspace.
- Enable the minimum extensions.
- Review all external side effects.
