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.
