Install target

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 1 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 pipe-to-shell installers: failed

    Runs code fetched at install time in 3 places.

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

  • 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

    Only contacts known or declared hosts: raw.githubusercontent.com.

    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.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned alingse/golangci-lint-skills at d585dfb7fe.

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

About this skill

What it does

This skill automates the setup of golangci-lint, a powerful linter for Go projects. It downloads and configures the tool, ensuring your codebase adheres to best practices and style guidelines. This includes installing dependencies and setting up configurations based on project needs.

When to use it

  • New Go Projects: Quickly bootstrap linting in newly created Go repositories.
  • Existing Projects Without Linting: Integrate automated code quality checks into projects currently lacking a linter.
  • Standardizing Code Style: Enforce consistent coding standards across a team or organization by automating the configuration of golangci-lint.
  • Continuous Integration (CI): Incorporate linting as part of your CI/CD pipeline to catch issues early.

Key capabilities

  • Downloads and installs golangci-lint
  • Configures golangci-lint with default settings
  • Handles dependency management for the linter

Example prompts

  • "Set up golangci-lint in my Go project."
  • "Install a linter for my Go code."
  • “Configure golangci-lint to check for common errors.”

Tips & gotchas

This skill assumes you have Go installed on your system. The initial setup might require some time as it downloads dependencies, so be patient during the process.
