The Test Cabinet The Test Cabinet

Overview

Goose is a CLI coding agent that The Test Cabinet drives non-interactively through OpenRouter. The Test Cabinet runs it headlessly with a single prompt, parses its JSON event stream into normalized harness events, and derives token metrics from the usage it reports on completion. See the project’s own documentation at goose-docs.ai.

Model IDs

Section titled “Model IDs”

Goose is invoked with --provider openrouter, so the model ID is an OpenRouter provider-prefixed slug, passed through unchanged for the comparable-cost lookup. Examples (illustrative, not exhaustive):

  • z-ai/glm-5.2
  • moonshotai/kimi-k2.7-code
  • qwen/qwen3.7-plus

Invocation

Section titled “Invocation”

The CLI binary is goose, installed into the run container at run time with:

Terminal window
curl -fsSL https://github.com/aaif-goose/goose/releases/download/stable/download_cli.sh | CONFIGURE=false bash

A single prompt is run to completion with goose run, requesting the line-delimited JSON event stream and suppressing decorative output:

Terminal window
goose run --provider openrouter --model <model> --output-format stream-json --quiet --text <prompt>

The --quiet --text flags keep the stream clean of interactive UI chrome. Authentication uses the host’s OPENROUTER_API_KEY, which is injected into the container under the same name.

Pricing uses PricingModelId::Passthrough: Goose already reports OpenRouter model IDs, so the ID is used as-is for the OpenRouter price lookup.

See the Events and Metrics pages for how Goose’s output is normalized, and Harnesses for the harness layer overall.
