What problem does it solve?
Golang CLI projects often struggle with maintainability and consistency across commands, flags, configuration, and testing. This Skill provides a consolidated set of patterns and best practices to help you build production-ready command-line tools in Go using Cobra and Viper, with clear guidance on structure, I/O discipline, versioning, and automation.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Recommended project layout for Cobra-based CLIs, including cmd/ structure and a minimal main.go that delegates to Execute().
- Guidance on flag management, config layering with Viper, and environment variable handling.
- Patterns for version embedding, exit codes, logging, shell completions, and test strategies for CLI commands.
Quick Start
Use this Skill to scaffold and audit a Cobra-based Go CLI by following the recommended layout and integrating Viper, versioning, and testing patterns.
