<p>Goose, like any system, may run into occasional issues. This guide provides solutions for common problems.</p>
<h3 class="anchor anchorWithStickyNavbar_LWe7" id="goose-edits-files">Goose Edits Files<a href="#goose-edits-files" class="hash-link" aria-label="Direct link to Goose Edits Files" title="Direct link to Goose Edits Files">​</a></h3>
<p>Goose can and will edit files as part of its workflow. To avoid losing personal changes, use version control to stage your personal edits. Leave Goose edits unstaged until reviewed. Consider separate commits for Goose&#x27;s edits so you can easily revert them if needed.</p>
<hr>
<h3 class="anchor anchorWithStickyNavbar_LWe7" id="interrupting-goose">Interrupting Goose<a href="#interrupting-goose" class="hash-link" aria-label="Direct link to Interrupting Goose" title="Direct link to Interrupting Goose">​</a></h3>
<p>If Goose is heading in the wrong direction or gets stuck, you can interrupt it by pressing <code>CTRL+C</code>. This will stop Goose and give you the opportunity to correct its actions or provide additional information.</p>
<hr>

<p>In rare cases, Goose may enter a &quot;doom spiral&quot; or become unresponsive during a long session. This is often resolved by ending the current session, and starting a new session.</p>
<ol>
<li>Hold down <code>Ctrl+C</code> to cancel</li>
<li>Start a new session:</li>

<p>This error occurs when the input provided to Goose exceeds the maximum token limit of the LLM being used. To resolve this, try breaking down your input into smaller parts. You can also use <code>.goosehints</code> as a way to provide goose with detailed context. Refer to the <a href="/goose/docs/guides/using-goosehints">Using Goosehints Guide</a> for more information.</p>

<p>Ollama provides local LLMs, which means you must first <a href="/goose/docs/getting-started/providers#local-llms">download Ollama and run a model</a> before attempting to use this provider with Goose. If you do not have the model downloaded, you&#x27;ll run into the following error:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>ExecutionError(&quot;error sending request for url (<a href="http://localhost:11434/v1/chat/completions" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">http://localhost:11434/v1/chat/completions</a>)&quot;)</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Another thing to note is that the DeepSeek models do not support tool calling, so all Goose <a href="/goose/docs/getting-started/using-extensions#enablingdisabling-extensions">extensions must be disabled</a> to use one of these models. Unfortunately, without the use of tools, there is not much Goose will be able to do autonomously if using DeepSeek. However, Ollama&#x27;s other models such as <code>qwen2.5</code> do support tool calling and can be used with Goose extensions.</p>

<p>Goose may encounter a <code>429 error</code> (rate limit exceeded) when interacting with LLM providers. The recommended solution is to use OpenRouter. See <a href="/goose/docs/guides/handling-llm-rate-limits-with-goose">Handling LLM Rate Limits</a> for more info.</p>

<p>You may need to uninstall Goose or clear existing data before re-installing. Goose stores data in a few places. Secrets, such as API keys, are stored exclusively in the system keychain.</p>
<p>Logs and configuration data are stored in <code>~/.config/goose</code>. And the app stores a small amount of data in
<code>~/Library/Application Support/Goose</code>.</p>
<p>You can remove all of this data by following these steps.</p>
<ul>
<li>stop any copies of goose running (CLI or GUI)<!-- -->
<ul>
<li>consider confirming you&#x27;ve stopped them all via the activity monitor</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>open the keychain and delete the credential called &quot;goose&quot;, which contains all secrets stored by goose</li>
<li><code>rm -rf ~/.config/goose</code></li>
</ul>
<p>If you are using Goose Desktop on macOS, you may also need to remove the app itself.</p>
<ul>
<li><code>rm -rf ~/Library/Application Support/Goose</code></li>
<li>Delete the &quot;Goose&quot; app from your Applications folder</li>
</ul>
<p>After this cleanup, if you are looking to try out a fresh install of Goose, you can now start from the usual
install instructions.</p>

<p>Goose tries to use the system keyring to store secrets. In environments where there is no keyring support, you may

<p>In this case, you will need to set your provider specific environment variable(s), which can be found at <a href="/goose/docs/getting-started/providers">Supported LLM Providers</a>.</p>
<p>You can set them either by doing:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>export GOOGLE_API_KEY=$YOUR_KEY_HERE</code> - for the duration of your session</li>
<li>in your <code>~/.bashrc</code> or <code>~/.zshrc</code> - (or equivalents) so it persists on new shell each new session</li>
</ul>
<p>Then select the <code>No</code> option when prompted to save the value to your keyring.</p>

<p>... it signals that the extension may not have been installed and you need the package runner in order to do so.</p>
<p>An example is the GitHub extension whose command is <code>npx -y @modelcontextprotocol/server-github</code>. You&#x27;d need <a href="https://nodejs.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Node.js</a> installed on your system to run this command, as it uses <code>npx</code>.</p>

<p>If you encounter an issue where the Goose Desktop app shows no window on launch, it may be due to file and folder permissions. This typically happens because Goose needs read and write access to the <code>~/.config</code> directory to create its log directory and file.
Similarly, if tools fail to create files or directories during use, it could be caused by the same permission issue.</p>
