Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill failed 2 of 6 checks. A failure is not proof of bad intent; it means something in the code needs a human to look at it before you run it.

  • No undeclared network calls: failed

    Contacts 1 host that is neither well-known infrastructure nor declared in the skill's frontmatter: encore.dev.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned encoredev/skills at 023e613c4f.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

The encore-go-getting-started skill provides a foundational setup for integrating Encore Go applications with AI agents. It streamlines the initial configuration required to connect backend services, ensuring seamless communication between your Go logic and agent workflows.

When to use it

  • Initializing new projects that require specific Encore Go environment variables or configurations.
  • Deploying backend services where the agent needs direct access to internal state or database connections managed by Encore.
  • Setting up secure authentication flows within an Encore-based microservice architecture before adding complex business logic.

Key capabilities

  • Environment Setup: Automates the creation of necessary environment files and variable definitions for Go applications.
  • Service Integration: Establishes the initial bridge between AI agents and pre-existing or new Encore Go services.
  • Configuration Management: Handles default settings required to run Go code within the Encore platform context.

Example prompts

  • "Set up the initial Encore Go environment for my new agent project."
  • "Configure the necessary variables to connect an AI agent to my existing Encore Go backend."
  • "Initialize a fresh deployment pipeline using the Encore Go getting started template."

Tips & gotchas

This skill is designed specifically for the Encore platform; it will not function with standard standalone Go applications outside of that ecosystem. Ensure your project directory contains valid encore.dev configuration files before running this setup to avoid initialization errors.
