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"

Book reservations using Notte browser automation via Orthogonal.

Requirements

  • Orthogonal CLI (npm install -g @orth/cli) or API key

  -H "Authorization: Bearer $GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"api":"notte","path":"/sessions/{session_id}/page/scrape"}'
  --body '{"only_main_content":true}'

Look for "confirmed" in the response.

API Method (curl)

# Start session
curl -X POST "https://api.orth.sh/v1/run" \

  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "api": "notte",
    "path": "/sessions/start",
    "body": {
      "browser_type": "chromium",
      "headless": true,
      "solve_captchas": true,
      "idle_timeout_minutes": 10
    }
  }'

# Execute actions (same pattern)
curl -X POST "https://api.orth.sh/v1/run" \

  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "api": "notte",
    "path": "/sessions/{session_id}/page/execute",
    "body": {"type":"goto","url":"https://www.opentable.com/..."}
  }'

Key Selectors (OpenTable)

| Field | Selector |

|-------|----------|

| First name | input#firstName |

| Last name | input#lastName |

| Email | input#email |

| Phone | input#phoneNumber |

| Terms checkbox | text=I agree to the restaurant |

| Submit | button:has-text('Complete reservation') |

| Time slots | button:has-text('7:00 PM') |

| Seating select | button:has-text('Select') |

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
  • Include confirmation number in description

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take gooseworks-ai/restaurant-booking from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.

Install what it needs

The instructions reference npm, npx. Without those the skill loads but fails at the first command.
