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
The go-packages skill enables AI agents to discover and install Go packages directly within their environment. It streamlines dependency management by allowing agents to fetch libraries from the standard Go module proxy without manual configuration.
When to use it
- Automating the setup of development environments for new Go projects.
- Resolving missing dependencies when an agent attempts to run or build code.
- Updating legacy Go applications with newer, compatible library versions.
- Quickly prototyping features by integrating third-party packages into a workspace.
Key capabilities
- Package Discovery: Identifies available modules from the official Go module proxy.
- Installation: Executes
go getcommands to download and install specific dependencies. - Version Management: Handles version constraints to ensure compatible library versions are selected.
- Environment Integration: Updates the local agent workspace with necessary source code automatically.
Example prompts
- "Install the
github.com/gin-gonic/ginpackage so I can start building a web server." - "Add the
golang.org/x/cryptomodule to my project for handling encryption tasks." - "Fetch the latest version of
github.com/stretchr/testifyand update my imports."
Tips & gotchas
Ensure your agent has network access to the public Go module proxy, as offline installation is not supported. Always verify that the installed package versions are compatible with your current Go toolchain version to prevent build failures.
