Shared step of the marketing playbooks (make-static-ads, research-market, run-paid-campaigns, work-with-creators): gets the human's yes before any credits are spent. Shows the price exactly as quoted, or asks for one yes to a credit ceiling for paid data reads, stays under it and logs each charge. Also covers scheduled runs. Loaded by those playbooks; not for direct use.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# spend-gate
No credit is spent before the human's yes in this conversation. Money is always a credit number exactly as GooseWorks gives it — never dollars, never your own total presented as a price. Never name tools, endpoints or vendors to the marketer: describe the work in plain words ("Reddit threads about dog allergies, newest first").

Read the returned maximum credits and expiry, then request approval for that exact bounded work. Submit the same request with its quote token, the approved ceiling and the user’s words. A new request or expired quote needs a fresh quote. An existing approval may cover later calls only when it explicitly named that same bounded plan and total ceiling: quote each call, preserve the original approval words, and set its maximum no higher than the remaining approved credits. Ask again only for changed scope or more budget. Log every returned charge and deduct it before the next call; the tool’s per-call cap is not

How to install
mdr add gooseworks-ai/goose-skills/spend-gate@sha256:eb89d7a70b9ae389The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.1.2, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
