Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers are everywhere right now. Last time I checked there were 3,000 and counting. Every day, a new one pops up, letting AI agents like Goose access files, query your Google Drive, search the web, and unlock all kinds of amazing integrations.
Remember that saying, "it’s not what you ask, but how you ask"?
When I first started working with Goose as an AI agent, I was convinced there had to be one ‘best' prompting style. I spent so much time trying to figure out which one was superior, but the more I used Goose, the more I realized that couldn't be further from the truth. There isn’t one right way to prompt AI, but there are better approaches depending on what your end goal is.
So, let’s go through which prompt style works best for your specific needs, and how you can use them to vibe code a little better with Goose.
