SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Go projects often struggle to design reliable CI workflows that reflect local builds and repository shape. This skill helps create or refactor GitHub Actions workflows for Go repositories, ensuring Makefile targets, caching, tool pinning, and security considerations are aligned with how the project actually runs.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Create or refactor .github/workflows/*.yml for Go repositories to mirror local task entrypoints and Makefile targets
  • Enforce repository shape awareness, caching, tool pinning, and gated execution to improve reliability and security
  • Support reusable workflows, and a structured gate design to guide CI decisions in varied repository shapes (single module, multi-module, monorepo, Docker-heavy)

Quick Start

Use this skill on a Go project to generate or refactor GitHub Actions workflows that reflect your repository’s Makefile targets and local CI.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create GitHub Actions workflows for Go that mirror my local Makefile targets?

To create GitHub Actions workflows for Go that mirror local Makefile targets, use this skill to scaffold or refactor your CI configuration. It enforces repository-shape awareness and local parity checks so CI execution reflects your actual Makefile-driven development commands.

What is the best way to structure Go CI workflows for a monorepo?

The best way to structure Go CI workflows for a monorepo involves applying a structured repository-shape gate. This skill detects your monorepo layout and generates GitHub Actions configurations with appropriate caching, tool pinning, and reusable workflows tailored to multi-module projects.

Does this approach support reusable workflows and tool pinning for Go GitHub Actions?

Yes, this approach supports reusable workflows and tool pinning for Go GitHub Actions. It automates the inclusion of security and permissions handling, ensuring that your CI pipelines use pinned tool versions and reusable components across different repository shapes securely.

How do I handle CI workflow generation when my Go project has a non-standard repository shape?

Handling CI workflow generation for a non-standard Go project shape relies on a repository-shape gate and degraded-output fallbacks. The skill evaluates your specific layout, whether single-module or Docker-heavy, and scaffolds GitHub Actions workflows with execution integrity validation.

Why should I use Makefile delegation in my Go GitHub Actions CI?

Using Makefile delegation in your Go GitHub Actions CI ensures local parity between development and automated testing environments. This skill automates mapping Makefile targets to workflow steps, preventing drift and enforcing execution integrity validation during automated builds.
