Goose Subagents Recipe Collection

A curated collection of powerful Goose recipes for code analysis, testing, documentation, and research.

📚 About

These recipes are specialized configurations for Goose subagents that help automate common development workflows. Each recipe is designed to be reusable, parameterized, and production-ready.

🚀 Quick Start

Beast Mode

Beast Mode is a custom chat mode for VS Code agent that adds an opinionated workflow to the agent, including use of a todo list, extensive internet research capabilities, planning, tool usage instructions and more. Designed to be used with 4.1, although it will work with any model.

Below you will find the Beast Mode prompt in various versions - starting with the most recent - 3.1

Installation Instructions

Go to the "agent" dropdown in VS Code chat sidebar and select "Configure Modes".
Select "Create new custom chat mode file"

On implementing a client for feature flags in your UI codebase

This document isn't an explainer on Feature Flags, you can find that with my amateur writeup, or literally hundreds of better writeups out there.

This document is also agnostic to the choice of service you'd use: LaunchDarkly or split.io or optimizely or whatever; that's orthogonal to this conversation.

Instead, this document is a list of considerations for implementing a client for using Feature Flags for User Interface development. Service providers usually give a simple fetch and use client and that's it; I contend that there's a lot more to care about. Let's dive in.

To encourage usage, we'd like for the developer experience to be as brutally simple as possible. So, this should be valid usage:

docker kill $(docker ps -q) to kill all running containers
docker rm $(docker ps -a -q) to delete all stopped containers.
docker volume rm $(docker volume ls -q) to delete all volumes.
docker rmi $(docker images -q) to delete all images.

Run all commands:

docker kill $(docker ps -q) && docker rm $(docker ps -a -q) && docker volume rm $(docker volume ls -q) && docker rmi $(docker images -q)

For fish shell, remove the $:

#BEGINNERS TAG REMOVALS

Non-Beginner Article

All articles on #beginners should be written for those new to programming, development, networking, or to a particular language. These posts should also require little to no prerequisite knowledge. If you wish, you may rewrite your post to meet these requirements, at which point you may request that the tag be added back. Otherwise, just use the appropriate technology tags. (Read more about the tag rules here.)

connect: anytime the controller is connected to the DOM

Falsehoods programmers believe about time

This is a compiled list of falsehoods programmers tend to believe about working with time.

Don't re-invent a date time library yourself. If you think you understand everything about time, you're probably doing it wrong.

Falsehoods

There are always 24 hours in a day.
February is always 28 days long.
Any 24-hour period will always begin and end in the same day (or week, or month).

Shallow

Real unit test (isolation, no children render)

Calls:

	Authorization: `Token ${Deno.env.get("REVUE_API_KEY")}`,

	const issues = await response.json();
