scripting-with-go

What problem does it solve?

This Skill enables Go scripts to execute directly as standalone programs without requiring a traditional shebang, simplifying script execution and portability.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Executable Go scripts that run with a shell trick, allowing ./script.go to execute with full argument support.
• Cross-environment compatibility by using go run via an initial directive, enabling quick automation in Go-enabled environments.
• Use Case: When you want lightweight, shareable Go-based automation scripts that you can run without explicit compilation steps.

Quick Start

Create a new file named script.go with a first line that points to the Go runner, make it executable, and run it with arguments.

• Example first line: //usr/bin/env go run "$0" "$@"; exit
• After adding a minimal Go program, run: chmod +x script.go; ./script.go World
