While in a session, run the following command: ### Create a Recipe File
Recipe files can be either JSON (.json) or YAML (.yaml) files. While in a [session](/docs/guides/managing-goose-sessions#start-session), run this command to generate a recipe.yaml file in your current directory:
```sh ```sh
/recipe /recipe
``` ```
This will generate a `recipe.yaml` file in your current directory. If you want to specify a different name, you can provide it as an argument:
Alternatively, you can provide a custom filename:
```sh ```sh
/recipe my-custom-recipe.yaml /recipe my-custom-recipe.yaml

**Basic Usage** - Run once and exit (see [run options](/docs/guides/goose-cli-commands#run-options) and [recipe commands](/docs/guides/goose-cli-commands#recipe) for more):
```sh
# Using recipe file in current directory
goose run --recipe recipe.yaml
# Using full path
goose run --recipe ./recipes/my-recipe.yaml
```
**Preview Recipe** - Use the [`explain`](/docs/guides/goose-cli-commands#run-options) command to view details before running:
**Interactive Mode** - Start an interactive session:
```sh ```sh
goose run --recipe recipe.yaml --interactive goose run --recipe recipe.yaml --interactive
``` ```
The interactive mode will prompt for required values:
- Run the recipe with parameters:
```sh ```sh
goose run --recipe recipe.yaml --interactive --params language=Spanish --params style=formal --params name=Alice ◆ Enter value for required parameter 'language':
│ Python
│
◆ Enter value for required parameter 'style_guide':
│ PEP8
``` ```
- Explain the recipe with description and parameters **With Parameters** - Supply parameter values when running recipes. See the [`run` command documentation](/docs/guides/goose-cli-commands#run-options) for detailed examples and options.
Basic example:
```sh ```sh
goose run --recipe recipe.yaml --explain goose run --recipe recipe.yaml --params language=Python
``` ```
#### Discover recipes </TabItem>
When using recipe-related CLI commands, there are a few ways to specify which recipe to use:
##### Option 1: Provide the full file path <TabItem value="github" label="GitHub Recipe">
Use the exact path to the recipe file:
Once you've configured your GitHub repository, you can run recipes by name:
**Basic Usage** - Run recipes from your configured repo using the recipe name that matches its directory (see [run options](/docs/guides/goose-cli-commands#run-options) and [recipe commands](/docs/guides/goose-cli-commands#recipe) for more):
```sh ```sh
goose run --recipe ~/my_recipe.yaml goose run --recipe recipe-name
goose recipe validate ~/my_recipe.yaml
goose recipe deeplink ~/my_recipe.yaml
``` ```
##### Option 2: Use the recipe name
If your recipe is named my_recipe, you can simply use the name:
For example, if your repository structure is:
```
my-repo/
├── code-review/
│ └── recipe.yaml
└── setup-project/
└── recipe.yaml
```
You would run the following command to run the code review recipe:
```sh ```sh
goose run --recipe my_recipe goose run --recipe code-review
goose recipe validate my_recipe
goose recipe deeplink my_recipe
``` ```
When you use the recipe name, Goose will search for the file in the following order:
1. Local search:
Goose will search for `my_recipe.yaml` or `my_recipe.json` in the current working directory
2. Remote search (GitHub): **Preview Recipe** - Use the [`explain`](/docs/guides/goose-cli-commands#run-options) command to view details before running:
- If the `GOOSE_RECIPE_GITHUB_REPO` environment variable is set or configured in the `Goose Settings` via `goose configure`, Goose will search the specified GitHub repo. (eg: my_org/goose-recipes).
- Goose will look for `my_recipe/recipe.yaml` or `my_recipe/recipe.json` within that GitHub repository. **Interactive Mode** - With parameter prompts:
```sh
goose run --recipe code-review --interactive
```
The interactive mode will prompt for required values:
```sh
◆ Enter value for required parameter 'project_name':
│ MyProject
│
◆ Enter value for required parameter 'language':
│ Python
```
**With Parameters** - Supply parameter values when running recipes. See the [`run` command documentation](/docs/guides/goose-cli-commands#run-options) for detailed examples and options.

## Core Components
A recipe needs these core components:
- **Instructions**: Define the agent's behavior and capabilities
- Acts as the agent's mission statement
- Makes the agent ready for any relevant task
- Required if no prompt is provided
- **Prompt** (Optional): Starts the conversation automatically
- Without a prompt, the agent waits for user input
- Useful for specific, immediate tasks
- Required if no instructions are provided
- **Activities**: Example tasks that appear as clickable bubbles
- Help users understand what the recipe can do
- Make it easy to get started

## Example Use Cases
- 🔧 Share a debugging workflow with your team
- 📦 Save a repeatable project setup
- 📚 Onboard someone into a task without overwhelming them
## Tips for Great Recipes
If you're sharing recipes with others, here are some tips:
- Be specific and clear in the instructions, so users know what the recipe is meant to do.
- Keep the activity list focused. Remove anything that's too specific or out of scope.
- Test the link yourself before sharing to make sure everything loads as expected.
- Mention any setup steps that users might need to complete (e.g., obtaining an API key).
## Troubleshooting
- You can't create a Recipe from an existing Recipe session. The menu option will be disabled
- Make sure you're using the latest version of Goose if something isn't working
- Remember that credentials, memory, and certain local setups won't carry over
