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

Automated safety checks

scanned 30 Sept 2026

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 googlecloudplatform/devrel-demos at 7040b3c690.
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 automates the setup of Go projects. It initializes a new project with standard boilerplate, including necessary files and configurations for development. This streamlines the process of starting new Go applications or libraries, saving developers time and ensuring consistency across projects.

When to use it

You're beginning a new Go application from scratch.
You need to quickly create a basic Go project structure with common dependencies.
You want to ensure your Go projects adhere to standard conventions.
When you are teaching someone how to start a Go project and want to demonstrate best practices.

Key capabilities

Project initialization
Boilerplate code generation
Dependency management setup (likely go mod)
Standard file structure creation

Example prompts

"Create a new Go project named 'my-app'."
“Initialize a go project with the name ‘data-processor’ and include an example main function.”
"Set up a Go module for my project."

Tips & gotchas

This skill assumes you have Go installed on your system. The generated boilerplate may need to be customized based on specific project requirements beyond basic initialization.
