- ### CLI-free environments (cowork / headless)
64
+ ### Choose the available runtime — MCP first, then CLI
65
65
 
66
- If the \`gooseworks\` CLI binary isn't available (e.g. Anthropic cowork) but the
67
- \`mcp__gooseworks__*\` tools are connected, use the MCP equivalents instead of shelling out:
66
+ Skills may describe a managed provider request as an environment-neutral operation with
67
+ \`provider\`, \`method\`, \`path\`, and optional \`query\` or \`body\`. Execute the operation through
68
+ the first available runtime:
69
+
70
+ 1. If the matching GooseWorks MCP tool is registered, use it. For ScrapeCreators, pass the
71
+ operation directly to \`call_data_provider\`. This is the preferred path in ChatGPT, Cowork,
72
+ and other terminal-free clients. Do not shell out and do not ask for a separate provider key.
73
+ 2. Otherwise, if a local terminal and the \`gooseworks\` CLI are available, translate the same
74
+ operation into \`gooseworks call <provider> <path>\` with its method, query, and body options.
75
+ 3. Otherwise, follow the provider dependency's direct-key path only when the user has supplied
76
+ their own key. If no runtime is available, explain what connection is missing; never pretend
77
+ the provider call ran.
78
+
79
+ The same selection applies to catalog and account operations. When the CLI is unavailable but the
80
+ \`mcp__gooseworks__*\` tools are connected, use these equivalents:
68
81
  - \`gooseworks search <q>\` → the **\`search_skills\`** MCP tool.
69
82
  - \`gooseworks fetch <slug>\` → the **\`fetch_skill\`** MCP tool (same content/scripts/files/deps).
70
83
  - \`gooseworks credits\` → the **\`get_ad_credits\`** MCP tool.
71
84
 
72
- Discovery and fetching a skill's instructions work fully CLI-free this way. Note: the paid data
73
- proxy (\`gooseworks call <provider> <path>\`) still requires the CLI for now — if a task needs it
74
- and no CLI is present, tell the user that step must run where the \`gooseworks\` CLI is installed.
85
+ Discovery, skill fetching, and ScrapeCreators-backed Brand Growth workflows work fully CLI-free
86
+ this way. Task skills own the endpoint and analysis workflow; this runtime rule owns how the same
87

- ## User Context (onboarding)
94
+ ## Common company onboarding
95
+
96
+ Onboarding is voluntary and happens inside the current coding agent. Run it when the user explicitly says **\`/gooseworks onboard me\`**, or ask for one missing answer when it is necessary for the task in front of you. **Never force an existing user through onboarding after an update.**
97
+
98
+ The CLI and GooseWorks Ads share one brand-scoped questionnaire through these MCP tools:
99
+
100
+ - \`list_ad_brands\` and \`create_ad_brand\` — select or create the company/brand.
101
+ - \`get_brand_onboarding { brand_id }\` — load completed answers and \`missing_fields\` before asking anything.
102
+ - \`update_brand_onboarding { brand_id, ...answers }\` — save each group of answers and the final first-task choice.
103
+
104
+ If these tools are unavailable, tell the user that onboarding needs the GooseWorks MCP connection. Do not send them to another UI and do not fall back to a separate context record.
105
+
106
+ ### Resume rules
107
+
108
+ 1. Run \`list_ad_brands\`. If there are multiple brands, ask which one to use.
109
+ 2. If there is no brand, ask for the company or brand website, research it, and use \`create_ad_brand { name, website_url }\`. If the domain matches an existing brand, reuse it.
110
+ 3. Call \`get_brand_onboarding\` and ask only the returned missing questions.
111
+ 4. Save after each small group so an interrupted interview can resume.
112
+ 5. If the record is complete, confirm the brand and continue; do not repeat the interview.
82
113
 
83
- You have two MCP tools for the user's onboarding CONTEXT — who they are and what they want GooseWorks for. It's stored server-side (org-scoped), separate from the ads brand kit.
114
+ ### Shared questions and answer values
84
115
 
85
- - \`get_user_context\` — read it. **At the START of a session, call this once** and use what you learn (company, role, the use-cases they picked, their goals, freeform notes) to tailor which skills/APIs you reach for. Best-effort: if the \`mcp__gooseworks__*\` tools aren't connected, skip silently and carry on.
86
- - \`update_user_context\` — save it (partial update; only the fields you pass are touched).
116
+ Use the host's native question controls. Keep the labels below; the values in backticks are the stable values accepted by \`update_brand_onboarding\`.
87
117
 
88
- ### Running "onboard me" (or a first run with empty context)
118
+ 1. **What is your role?** Founder / Business Owner · C-Suite · VP / Director · Performance / Growth Marketing · Brand / Content Marketing · Creative / Design · Agency · Consultant / Freelancer · Other.
119
+ 2. **How much do you spend on paid ads right now?** \`zero\` · \`under_10k\` · \`10k_30k\` · \`30k_100k\` · \`100k_plus\`.
120
+ 3. **What are your goals?** Multi-select: create ads \`make_creatives\` · analyze ads \`analyze_ads\` · manage/optimize ads \`ai_manage\` · competitor or customer research \`research_competitors\` · creators and social trends \`creators_trends\` · content \`content_growth\` · lead generation \`lead_generation\` · data work \`data_work\` · work with an expert team \`expert_team\`.
121
+ 4. **Who makes your ad creatives right now?** and **Who manages your ads right now?** Use the shared values returned in the tool schema. Skip both when ad spend is \`zero\` and no advertising goal was selected.
122
+ 5. **Which platforms or channels do you use or want help with?** Multi-select: \`meta\` · \`tiktok\` · \`google\` · \`chatgpt\` · \`x\` · \`linkedin\` · \`reddit\` · \`other\`.
123
+ 6. **Where did you find GooseWorks?** Use the shared discovery-source values returned in the tool schema.
89
124
 
90
- If the user says "onboard me" — or \`get_user_context\` returns \`onboarded: false\` and they're starting fresh — run a short, friendly interview, then save the answers. Open with this framing:
125
+ Do not add CLI-only questions about business type, products, or audience. Infer them from the website and ask one clarification only when the research is materially uncertain.
91
126
 
92
- > Gooseworks gives your AI agent access to skills and APIs for growth and marketing work. For example: making ad creatives, finding influencers, scraping social profiles and posts from X/LinkedIn, scraping ads from Meta/LinkedIn, scraping reddit, and finding leads to target and their emails — and much more. Visit skills.gooseworks.ai to see the full library of skills.
127
+ ### Research while onboarding
93
128
 
94
- Then ask (a few at a time is fine — don't interrogate):
95
- 1. **What's your company's website?** → \`company_website\`
96
- 2. **What's your role?** → \`role\`
97
- 3. **What are you hoping to use Goose skills for?** (multi-select — pick any): generate ad creatives · research and run ads end-to-end · finding influencers · data scraping (social / ads / reddit) · finding leads & emails · something else → \`use_cases\` (array)
98
- 4. **What high-priority growth / marketing tasks would you like help with right now?** The more context they share, the better you can help. → \`goals\`
129
+ Do useful setup work, not only form collection:
99
130
 
100
- **Save** with \`update_user_context { company_website, role, use_cases, goals, context_md }\` — put any extra detail you learned into \`context_md\` as a short summary.
131
+ 1. Fetch \`brand-research\` and research the website, products/services, audiences, competitors, offers, and messaging evidence.
132
+ 2. Reuse existing Brand Kit/Core data. For an ecommerce store, import the relevant catalog with \`import_product\` and poll \`get_product_import\` rather than submitting duplicates.
133
+ 3. When ads are relevant, offer to import existing creative. This is optional.
134
+ 4. Suggest evidence-backed messaging angles. Approval is optional and never blocks completion.
135
+ 5. Show the researched profile for confirmation: products/services, audience, competitors, imported ads, and suggested angles. Clearly label uncertainty.
101
136
 
102
- **Then recommend REAL next steps — grounded, not from memory. This is the WHOLE POINT of onboarding; do not skip it or wing a generic playbook:**
103
- 1. **Route each answer to the RIGHT tool first — don't blindly search one catalog. Match their use-cases to domains (same routing as "Route to the right skill FIRST" above):**
104
- - **Make / edit / analyze ADS** (generate ad creatives, research & run ads) → the **\`goose-ads\`** skill (brand research + template remix). Do NOT \`gooseworks search\` for these — ad creation is NOT in the data catalog.
105
- - **VIDEO ads** → **\`goose-video\`**. **Charts / slides / graphics** → **\`goose-graphics\`**.
106
- - **GTM / DATA** (finding leads & emails, influencers, scraping social / ads / reddit, enrichment, competitor intel) → run \`gooseworks search "<that task>"\` (free) and recommend the REAL skill slugs it returns.
107
- Recommend specific, real things BY NAME — never a from-memory playbook, never a skill you assume exists; if a GTM search returns nothing relevant, say so.
108
- 2. **Ground it in THEIR business.** If they gave a company website, read it with your web tools to infer their actual product + ICP, so suggestions are about their company — not a template. (For ad work, prefer \`goose-ads\`'s own brand research over a raw read.)
109
- 3. **Be honest about cost.** Data / lead / enrichment / ad-generation skills bill GooseWorks credits — say so, and estimate before running anything (\`gooseworks credits\` to check balance).
110
- 4. **Offer to start ONE concrete play** built from the ROUTED skill (\`goose-ads\` for ads, a real searched skill for GTM) and ask for the one or two inputs it needs.
137
+ ### First task
111
138
 
112
- A suggestion is only "grounded" if it came from routing to the right domain skill (\`goose-ads\` / \`goose-video\` / \`goose-graphics\`) or from \`gooseworks search\` (a real GTM skill) — plus, ideally, reading their site. Do that BEFORE you suggest; never present a from-memory capability list as if you'd checked.
139
+ Finish with **What do you want to do first?**
113
140
 
114
- ### Update as needed
115
- Whenever the user reveals durable context mid-session (their company, role, what they're trying to accomplish), persist it with \`update_user_context\` so future sessions start smarter.
141
+ - Connect my tools and data — \`connect_tools\`
142
+ - Research customers, competitors, creators, or trends — \`research\`
143
+ - Analyze ads, content, landing pages, or performance — \`analyze\`
144
+ - Create ads, product images, or social content — \`create\`
145
+
146
+ Save the choice as \`first_task\`, then start that job. If the user already stated a concrete job, save the matching value and start without showing the menu.
147
+
148
+ ## Brand Growth discovery
149
+
150
+ Brand Growth is a collection inside the normal skill catalog, not a command or installable pack. Use these known routes when relevant, while preserving all existing B2B, sales, research, lead-generation, and data behavior:
151
+
152
+ | Job | Skill |
153
+ | --- | --- |
154
+ | Brand foundation | \`brand-research\` |
155
+ | Competitor ads | \`competitor-ad-intelligence\` |
156
+ | Customer language and angles | \`comment-mining\` → \`ad-angle-miner\` |
157
+ | Competitor social content | \`competitor-social-research\` |
158
+ | Creator discovery and evaluation | \`influencer-prospecting\` |
159
+ | Trends and outlier posts | \`trend-discovery\`, \`outlier-post-finder\` |
160
+ | Social listening and product demand | \`social-listening-brief\`, \`product-demand-research\` |
161
+ | Meta performance, policy, and landing-page match | \`meta-ads-analyzer\`, \`meta-ad-policy-checker\`, \`ad-to-landing-page-auditor\` |
162
+ | Static ads | \`goose-ads\` / \`remix-graphic-ad-from-reference\` |
163
+ | Product photos | \`goose-product-photos\` |
164
+ | Graphics and animation | \`goose-graphics\`, \`animate-image\` |
165
+
166
+ Fetch the named public skill before following it. Provider helpers such as \`scrapecreators-api\` and \`transcript-intelligence\` are dependencies, not user-facing results.
167
+
168
+ For a multi-part request, repeat this routing check before each new job. Fetch and follow the
169
+ closest outcome skill first (for example, \`comment-mining\`, \`creator-profile-teardown\`, or
170
+ \`content-repurposing\`) before calling provider APIs or improvising a workflow. Provider calls
171
+ collect inputs for the outcome skill; they do not replace it.
