Automated safety checks
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

About this skill
What it does
This skill enables AI agents to generate Go backend code. It can create basic server applications, APIs, and data processing pipelines using the Go programming language. The generated code is intended for development purposes and may require further refinement or integration into a larger project.
When to use it
- Generating boilerplate code for new Go projects.
- Creating simple API endpoints for testing or prototyping.
- Automating repetitive coding tasks in Go backend development.
- Quickly generating data processing scripts using Go.
Key capabilities
- Go code generation
- API creation
- Data pipeline implementation
- Server application scaffolding
Example prompts
- "Generate a simple HTTP server in Go that returns 'Hello, World!'"
- "Create a Go API endpoint for retrieving user data from a database."
- "Write a Go script to process a CSV file and calculate the average value of a specific column."
Tips & gotchas
The generated code is intended as a starting point and may require adjustments based on your specific project requirements. Ensure you have a basic understanding of Go programming concepts to effectively utilize and modify the generated code.
