Walks the conversation snapshot just before it's handed to the provider and replaces any tool_response text block whose (tool_name, arguments, body) triple is byte-identical to a prior call's result with a short pointer back to the first occurrence. - Same file read twice with the same args -> second copy becomes '[goose: identical to tool result at turn N (sha=...), N bytes elided, tool=read]'. - Bodies under 512 bytes are skipped (not worth the marker). - Errors (Err arm) are never deduped. - Differing args or differing body => pass-through, so genuine changes flow normally. - Session DB and on-screen view keep the full content; only the LLM payload is deduped. - Disable via GOOSE_TOOL_RESULT_DEDUP=0. 6 unit tests covering: dedup fires, args differ -> no dedup, body changed -> no dedup, small bodies skipped, env disable, and third copy points to the first occurrence (not the second).

🦆 goose has moved! This project has moved from
block/gooseto the Agentic AI Foundation (AAIF) at the Linux Foundation. Some links and references are still being updated — please bear with us during the transition.
goose
your native open source AI agent — desktop app, CLI, and API — for code, workflows, and everything in between
goose is a general-purpose AI agent that runs on your machine. Not just for code — use it for research, writing, automation, data analysis, or anything you need to get done.
A native desktop app for macOS, Linux, and Windows. A full CLI for terminal workflows. An API to embed it anywhere. Built in Rust for performance and portability.
goose works with 15+ providers — Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Ollama, OpenRouter, Azure, Bedrock, and more. Use API keys or your existing Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini subscriptions via ACP. Connect to 70+ extensions via the Model Context Protocol open standard.
goose is part of the Agentic AI Foundation (AAIF) at the Linux Foundation.

Why did the developer choose goose as their AI agent?
Because it always helps them "migrate" their code to production! 🚀
