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

    "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

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.
