pp-human-goat
Hire real humans from the terminal — autonomous TaskRabbit checkout with a verified undo, plus Magic remote errands, in one agent-native binary. Trigger phrases: `hire a mover on saturday`, `book someone to assemble my furniture`, `call this number and ask`, `who did i hire before`, `cancel that booking`, `use human-goat`, `run goat`.

What this skill does
Human-Goat — Printing Press CLI Created by @mvanhorn (Matt Van Horn). Contributors: @cathrynlavery (Cathryn Lavery). Prerequisites: Install the CLI This skill drives the human-goat-pp-cli binary. You must verify the CLI is installed before invoking any command from this skill. If it is missing, install it first: 1. Install via the Printing Press installer. It defaults binaries to $HOME/.local/bin on macOS/Linux and %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\PrintingPress\bin on Windows: 2. Verify: human-goat-pp-cli --version 3. Ensure the reported install directory is on $PATH for the agent/runtime that will invoke this skill. If the npx install fails (no Node, offline, etc.), fall back to a direct Go install (requires Go 1.26.6 or newer). This installs into $GOPATH/bin (default $HOME/go/bin), so add that directory to $PATH instead: If --version reports "command not found" after install, the runtime cannot see the binary directory on $PATH. Do not proceed with skill commands until verification succeeds. goat unifies two human networks behind a common task model: TaskRabbit for in-person local labor and Magic for remote errands. Its headline is hands-off checkout on TaskRabbit against the card on file — searched, ranked by honest all-in price and review quality, and booked with no prompt — made safe by a spend cap and a cancel command that verifies the cancellation actually landed. When to Use This CLI Use goat when an agent should get a real-world task done end to end — hire a mover, assemble furniture, make a phone call, book something online — rather than surfacing options for a human to finish. It is strongest for autonomous TaskRabbit hiring with a safety net and for dispatching remote errands to Magic. Anti-triggers Do not use this CLI for: Do not use goat to edit the payment method on file — the card is managed in the TaskRabbit app. Do not use goat for programmatic password login to either service — auth is cookie/api-key only. …
