Goose is Block's open-source AI agent framework for software engineering. It exposes an extensible toolchain — agents, extensions, and custom providers — and runs from the terminal or as an integrated runtime.

Goose Plugins — FAQ
How do I install plugins for Goose?
Install the BuySkills CLI globally with `npm -g install bskills`, run `bskills init`, then `bskills install <skill>`. The CLI auto-detects Goose and writes the skill into the correct directory. No manual config required.
Are Goose plugins paid or free?
Both. BuySkills is a marketplace where creators choose — some skills are free and community-maintained, others are paid one-time purchases. You see the price on each listing before installing.
Can I use the same skill with other AI agents besides Goose?
Yes. BuySkills was built for cross-agent portability. One install gives you the skill in every supported agent (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and 17+ others). No duplicate purchases.
Do updates to Goose break installed skills?
No. BuySkills uses semantic versioning and a shared registry, so skills stay pinned to the version you installed. Run `bskills update` when you want the latest versions.
Do BuySkills skills replace Goose extensions?
No — they complement them. Goose extensions wire raw tools into the agent runtime. BuySkills skills are higher-level, reusable capability bundles that Goose can call just like any other tool.
