# Use Nika with goose

> Add the read-only Nika oracle to goose as a stdio extension — plus the AGENTS.md surface goose reads natively. Wiring is manual (no wire target).

[goose](https://github.com/block/goose) (the AAIF agent) discovers MCP
extensions from its config, and reads `AGENTS.md` natively — so `nika init`
in the repo teaches it the language with zero extra wiring. The binary
install is the prerequisite (`brew install supernovae-st/tap/nika` or a
release tarball · [other paths](/getting-started/installation)).

Wiring is manual — `nika wire` has no goose target. Add the oracle as a
stdio extension in goose's config:

```yaml theme={"system"}
extensions:
  nika:
    cmd: nika
    args: [mcp]
    enabled: true
    type: stdio
```

## The repo side

```sh theme={"system"}
nika init
```

`AGENTS.md`, rules and the repo skill land at the repo root — the
agent-teaching surface that makes the oracle useful. goose picks up
`AGENTS.md` on its own.

## Verify

goose's extension list shows `nika` with the eight `nika_*` tools
([the oracle's contract](/reference/mcp-server): validate, explain, schema,
cost — no execution, no mutation). Then prove the loop end-to-end:
