SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

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

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you prevent regressions and security issues in Go projects by setting up production-grade CI/CD on GitHub Actions with testing, linting, SAST, vulnerability scanning, coverage reporting, dependency automation, and release automation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Production CI pipeline: Adds a structured workflow for tests (including race detection), linting, vet, security scanning, SAST, and known vulnerability detection.
  • Quality gating with coverage: Integrates coverage collection and code coverage thresholds to keep new changes from silently degrading quality.
  • Secure dependency and release automation: Configures Dependabot or Renovate with safe grouping/auto-merge, and wires GoReleaser for consistent releases.
  • Optional Docker supply-chain hardening: When you build images, includes multi-platform builds with Trivy scanning, plus provenance/SBOM attestations and least-privilege permissions.
  • Optional AI PR review: Provides an opinionated setup for Claude Code (skill-based) or Copilot-style review prompts to complement linters.

Quick Start

Use the golang-continuous-integration skill to generate GitHub Actions workflows for test, lint, security scanning, and release, aligned to your Go version matrix.

Frequently Asked Questions about golang-continuous-integration

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I set up a production-grade GitHub Actions CI pipeline for a Go project?▼

A Go CI pipeline on GitHub Actions enforces testing with race detection, linting, vetting, security scanning, and coverage reporting. It requires least-privilege permissions and go mod tidy consistency checks to prevent regressions and security issues.

What security scanning tools should I include in my Go CI workflow?▼

Go CI security scanning should integrate govulncheck for known vulnerabilities, gosec and CodeQL for SAST, and Bearer for additional security layers. These tools enforce a strong security posture by detecting issues before deployment.

How can I enforce code coverage thresholds in GitHub Actions for Golang?▼

You can enforce code coverage thresholds by integrating Codecov with your Go CI pipeline. This quality gating collects coverage metrics and prevents new changes from merging if they silently degrade the established quality baseline.

Does this Go CI setup support automated releases with GoReleaser and Docker?▼

Yes, the Go CI setup wires GoReleaser for consistent releases and optional Docker supply-chain hardening. Docker builds include multi-platform support, Trivy scanning, provenance, SBOM attestations, and least-privilege permissions.

Can I use Claude Code or Copilot for AI PR review alongside golangci-lint?▼

Yes, the CI pipeline provides an opinionated setup for Claude Code skill-based review or Copilot-style prompts to complement linters. This AI PR review adds an automated layer of analysis alongside standard golangci-lint checks.

How do I automate dependency updates safely in a Go repository?▼

You can automate dependency updates by configuring Dependabot or Renovate with safe grouping and auto-merge rules. This secure dependency automation keeps Go modules updated without requiring manual intervention or risking breaking changes.
