SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

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

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you design, audit, and improve production-grade CI/CD for Go repositories so builds are faster, tests are reliable, and security checks are enforced consistently.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Test Automation: Create Go test workflows with race detection, shuffled execution, coverage reporting, and tidy verification.
  • Security and Compliance: Add govulncheck, gosec, CodeQL, Bearer, and least-privilege repository settings to reduce supply-chain and runtime risk.
  • Release and Delivery: Configure GoReleaser, Docker image publishing, dependency automation, and tag-based release pipelines for libraries, CLIs, and monorepos.
  • AI Review Workflows: Set up Claude Code or Copilot-based PR review with skill-driven guidance for correctness, security, tests, and modernization.

Quick Start

Ask the skill to analyze your Go repository and generate or improve the GitHub Actions workflows, security settings, and release automation you need.

FAQPage Schema
How do I set up GitHub Actions for a Go project with race detection and coverage gates?

GitHub Actions for Go projects can be configured with race detection, shuffled execution, and coverage reporting by defining test workflows that enforce coverage gates and verify go mod tidy. This ensures reliable test automation across your repository.

What's the best way to add security scanning to Go CI pipelines?

Adding security scanning to Go CI pipelines involves integrating govulncheck, gosec, CodeQL, and Bearer into your workflows. Combined with least-privilege repository settings, this reduces both supply-chain and runtime vulnerabilities effectively.

How does GoReleaser work with GitHub Actions for tag-based releases?

GoReleaser works with GitHub Actions by automating tag-based release pipelines for libraries, CLIs, and monorepos. It configures Docker image publishing and dependency automation to streamline delivery upon release tag triggers.

Can I use GitHub Actions matrices to test multiple Go versions?

Yes, GitHub Actions supports Go version matrices to test across multiple environments. Configuring these matrices ensures your Go project maintains compatibility and passes tests consistently across different Go versions.

Does Dependabot integrate with Go module workflows for dependency updates?

Dependabot integrates with Go module workflows to automate dependency updates. Configuring it alongside your CI pipelines ensures dependencies remain current while maintaining repository security and build stability.

Why should I enforce least-privilege permissions in Go CI pipelines?

Enforcing least-privilege permissions in Go CI pipelines prevents unauthorized access during workflow execution. Auditing repository security settings and restricting GitHub Actions token scopes reduces the blast radius of potential supply-chain attacks.
