What it does
Person Lookup is an agent skill from gooseworks-ai/goose-skills. Look up information about a person - work history, social profiles, contact info
Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `skill.meta.json`).
The repository describes itself as: Library of Growth & GTM skills + data APIs for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor to run ads, social, content, lead gen, seo and data scraping. The licence is MIT.
Example prompts
- “/person-lookup”
Requirements
- Python 3
- Node.js
- A credential in GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c650c6d. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
curlpython3npx
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
api.gooseworks.aiapi.orth.sh
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Person Lookup loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 24 tokens; SKILL.md has 330 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Person Lookup
Cost Warning
Nyne /person/search uses PeopleDataLabs under the hood — $0.30 per record returned. For a single person lookup this is fine ($0.30), but avoid large result sets.
Cheaper alternatives for multi-result searches:
- Apollo
mixed_people/search: $0.01 flat per call →$GOOSEWORKS_API_BASE/v1/proxy/apollo/mixed_people/search - Fiber
/v1/natural-language-search/profiles: $0.02/record →$GOOSEWORKS_API_BASE/v1/proxy/fiber/v1/natural-language-search/profiles
Use Nyne only when you need to look up a specific individual by name + company.
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"
Find detailed information about a person including work history, education, social profiles, and contact information.
When to Use
- User asks about a specific person
- User wants to find someone's background
- User asks "who is [name]?"
- Research on a professional
- Finding contact information
How It Works
Uses the Nyne API to search person databases and aggregate professional information.
Usage
Search for a Person
curl -s -X POST $GOOSEWORKS_API_BASE/v1/proxy/orthogonal/run \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"api":"nyne","path":"/person/search","body":{"query":"Dario Amodei Anthropic"}}'<details>
<summary>curl equivalent</summary>curl -X POST "https://api.orth.sh/v1/run" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"api":"nyne","path":"/person/search","body":{"query":"Dario Amodei Anthropic"}}'</details>Parameters
- query (required) - Search query combining name, company, or other identifiers
- Examples: "Sam Altman OpenAI", "Dario Amodei CEO Anthropic", "Jensen Huang NVIDIA"
Response
Returns comprehensive person data:
- Full name and current title
- Current employer and role
- Work history (previous companies, roles)
- Education (schools, degrees)
- Location
- Social profiles (LinkedIn, Twitter, etc.)
- Skills and expertise
- Contact information (when available)
Note: Nyne searches are async - the POST returns a request_id. Poll with GET /person/search?request_id=<id> until status is complete. Results may take a few seconds.
Examples
User: "Who is Dario Amodei?"
curl -s -X POST $GOOSEWORKS_API_BASE/v1/proxy/orthogonal/run \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"api":"nyne","path":"/person/search","body":{"query":"Dario Amodei Anthropic CEO"}}'User: "Look up Sam Altman"
curl -s -X POST $GOOSEWORKS_API_BASE/v1/proxy/orthogonal/run \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"api":"nyne","path":"/person/search","body":{"query":"Sam Altman OpenAI"}}'User: "Find info about Jensen Huang"
curl -s -X POST $GOOSEWORKS_API_BASE/v1/proxy/orthogonal/run \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"api":"nyne","path":"/person/search","body":{"query":"Jensen Huang NVIDIA CEO"}}'Error Handling
- Nyne searches are async — if the initial POST doesn't return results, poll with GET using the
request_id - 404 — Person not found; try different name spellings or add company context
- 429 — Rate limit exceeded; wait and retry
- Multiple results for common names — add company or title to narrow down
Tips
- Include company name for more accurate results
- Add job title for disambiguation
- Results are cached - same queries are faster
- Multiple results may be returned for common names
