SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the setup of a Go project, providing a universal entry-point loader and multi-architecture build scripts. It solves the common issue of manually creating project structures and handling cross-platform binary compilation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Project Scaffolding: Automatically creates a Go project structure, including a .gitignore file for common exclusions and a build.sh script for cross-platform builds.
  • Universal Loader: Offers a script that detects the host environment and runs the appropriate binary, simplifying project execution.
  • Use Case: A developer looking to start a new Go CLI tool or service will benefit from this Skill by saving time on project setup and build configuration.

Quick Start

Replace {{APP_NAME}} with your project name (e.g., mytool) and run ./scripts/build.sh to generate binaries in the bin/ directory. Then execute ./{{APP_NAME}} to run your Go CLI tool.

FAQPage Schema
How do I set up a new Go project structure with cross-platform builds?

To set up a Go project with cross-platform builds, this Skill automatically scaffolds the directory structure, generates a `.gitignore` file, and creates a `build.sh` script for compiling binaries across various OS and architecture pairs.

What is the easiest way to compile Go binaries for multiple operating systems?

Compiling Go binaries for multiple operating systems is handled by the generated `build.sh` script, which automates the build process for various OS and architecture pairs and outputs the compiled binaries directly into a `bin/` directory.

How can I run a compiled Go CLI tool without worrying about the host environment?

To run a compiled Go CLI tool across different environments, the Skill provides a universal entry-point loader script that detects the host environment and automatically executes the appropriate binary.

Do I need a specific environment to use this Go project scaffolding tool?

Yes, using this Go project scaffolding tool requires a local Go programming environment installed and the ability to execute shell scripts to run the automated build and loader scripts.

How do I start building a Go CLI tool after the project structure is created?

To start building a Go CLI tool after creation, simply replace the placeholder application name in the project, execute the `./scripts/build.sh` shell command to generate binaries, and then run the compiled application entry point.
