What problem does it solve?

Manually scaffolding, configuring, and validating production-ready Go microservices with consistent adherence to framework standards, compliance requirements, and deployment best practices is time-consuming and prone to human error, especially when supporting multiple frameworks, databases, and deployment targets.

Core Features & Use Cases

• End-to-end Go microservice scaffolding: Generates a complete Go 1.22+ project with selectable Gin or Fiber HTTP frameworks, structured log/slog logging, envconfig-based settings, optional Postgres or SQLite database support, and pre-built /api/v1/health and /api/v1/items API routes.
• Built-in validation and compliance: Automatically enforces 70% test coverage thresholds, runs X4 compliance gates for SPDX license allowlisting, CVE scanning, and SBOM generation, and validates Docker, Helm, and goreleaser configurations to ensure production readiness.
• Use Case: Backend engineers building cloud-native Go services can use this skill to eliminate hours of manual setup for local development, containerization, Kubernetes deployment, and multi-platform release pipelines, while ensuring all framework and compliance requirements are met out of the box.

Quick Start

Use the skill-go-service skill to render a complete production-ready Go microservice with your preferred framework, database, and deployment options to a specified output directory.
