go-project SKILL.md skillA

go-project from bitwise-media-group/skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Scaffold a Go project with the canonical layout — cmd/ entrypoints with a thin main, private packages under internal/ (no pkg/), a separate tools module pinning Go developer CLIs (invoked directly via go tool -modfile=tools/go.mod, no GOBIN), Node tools pinned in package.json and run from node_modules/.bin, and a Makefile whose pr target runs the full local gate. Use when creating a new Go project, service, or repository, or restructuring an existing Go repo to the standard layout; pinning Go…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Scaffold a Go project

Creates a Go repository with the canonical layout, pinned tooling, and a Makefile gate. Apply the
`go-style` and `go-testing` skills while filling in real code, and wire releases with the
`go-release` skill.

## 1. Lay out the tree

```text
cmd/<app>/main.go     # one directory per binary; main stays thin
internal/<pkg>/       # all business logic; the compiler enforces privacy
tools/                # separate Go module pinning developer CLIs
Makefile
go.mod  go.sum
package.json          # pins Node tooling (prettier, markdownlint-cli2)
```

- One package per concern, named for what it provides (`clientmap`, `token`, `telemetry`) — never
  `util`, `common`, or `helpers`.
- No `pkg/` directory: code stays under `internal/` until a consumer outside the repo needs it.

## 2. Keep `main` thin

Copy [templates/main.go](templates/main.go): `main` derives the root context from process
signals, builds the JSON `slog` logger, and delegates to `run(ctx, log, args) error`. Everything
testable lives in `run` and the `internal/` packages; `main` is the only place that may call
`os.Exit`.

## 3. Pin Go developer CLIs in a separate tools module

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add bitwise-media-group/skills/go-project@sha256:d8d3caea0fb39659

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260816.2914172, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
