What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps Go developers and teams perform thorough CLI code reviews by producing an actionable, standardized checklist that targets error handling, CLI structure, testing, performance, security, and idioms.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured Review Framework: Evaluates common Go CLI patterns (Cobra/urfave, RunE usage, flag design) and surfaces deviations from best practices.
  • Checklist Generation: Produces a repeatable review checklist based on templates in references.
  • Use Case: Audit a Cobra-based CLI to identify error handling gaps and improve command discoverability.

Quick Start
