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 passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • 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 undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    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.

  • 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.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned mindrally/skills at 7682ca7771.

    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

What it does

This skill enables AI agents to develop Go APIs using the standard library and adhering to RESTful API design principles. It focuses on generating correct, secure, efficient, and fully functional code for APIs, prioritizing security, scalability, and maintainability. The agent will first outline a detailed plan in pseudocode before writing the actual Go code.

When to use it

  • You need an AI agent to create a new API endpoint or a complete API from scratch.
  • You want assistance with implementing specific features like authentication, authorization, or rate limiting within a Go API.
  • You require help ensuring your existing Go APIs follow best practices for security and error handling.

Key capabilities

  • Generates Go code using the net/http package and http.ServeMux (introduced in Go 1.22).
  • Implements proper HTTP method handling (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, PATCH).
  • Handles JSON serialization/deserialization using encoding/json.
  • Incorporates input validation and sanitization to prevent injection attacks.
  • Utilizes Go's concurrency features like goroutines for performance optimization.
  • Implements middleware for logging, authentication, rate limiting, and CORS handling.

Example prompts

  • "Create a Go API endpoint that accepts a POST request with JSON data and returns a success message."
  • "Implement an authentication middleware for my existing Go API using basic authentication."
  • "Write a Go function to validate user input for a specific API parameter, ensuring it's within a certain range."

Tips & gotchas

  • The agent requires familiarity with RESTful API design principles.
  • It is designed to use the latest stable version of Go (1.22 or newer).
  • The agent will first generate pseudocode outlining the API structure and data flow before writing code, so be prepared for that initial explanation.
