- **`-i, --instructions <FILE>`**: Path to instruction file containing commands. Use `-` for stdin
- **`-t, --text <TEXT>`**: Input text to provide to goose directly
- **`-s, --interactive`**: Continue in interactive mode after processing initial input
- **`-n, --name <name>`**: Name for this run session (e.g. `daily-tasks`)
- **`-r, --resume`**: Resume from a previous run
- **`--no-session`**: Run goose commands without creating or storing a session file
- **`--debug`**: Output complete tool responses, detailed parameter values, and full file paths
- **`--max-turns <NUMBER>`**: Maximum number of turns allowed without user input (default: 1000)
- **`-q, --quiet`**: Quiet mode. Suppress non-response output, printing only the model response to stdout
- **`--output-format <FORMAT>`**: Output format (`text`, `json`, or `stream-json`). Default is `text`. Use JSON structured output for automation and scripting: `json` for results after completion, `stream-json` for events as they occur
- **`--provider`**: Specify the provider to use for this session (overrides environment variable)
- **`--model`**: Specify the model to use for this session (overrides environment variable)
