golang-continuous-integration

CI/CD pipeline configuration using GitHub Actions for Golang projects — testing, linting, SAST, security scanning, code coverage, Dependabot, Renovate, GoReleaser, code review automation, and release pipelines. Use when setting up or improving Go project CI, configuring GitHub Actions workflows, adding linters or security scanners, automating dependency updates, or adding quality gates.

Content

70%

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

This is a well-organized, comprehensive CI/CD skill that serves effectively as a hub document pointing to detailed workflow configurations. Its strengths are excellent progressive disclosure, clear workflow sequencing, and strong security guidance. Its main weakness is that actionability depends heavily on the referenced asset files which aren't available for evaluation, and some sections could be more concise.

Suggestions

Consider inlining at least one minimal but complete workflow YAML example (e.g., the test workflow) so the skill is actionable even without the bundle files.

Tighten the Docker section's 'Key details' bullets and Renovate 'Key advantages' — some points explain things Claude already knows about these tools.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The skill is mostly efficient and avoids explaining basic concepts Claude would know, but there's some verbosity in areas like the Docker section's 'Key details' bullet list and the Renovate 'Key advantages' section that could be tightened. The security warnings, while important, are somewhat repetitive in structure.

2 / 3

Actionability

The skill references external asset files (e.g., 'see [test.yml](./assets/test.yml)') for all concrete workflow configurations, but since no bundle files were provided, the actual executable content is not inline. The Quick Reference table, Common Mistakes table, and Go version matrix guidance are concrete and useful, but the core deliverables (the actual workflow YAML files) are delegated elsewhere and not evaluable.

2 / 3

Workflow Clarity

The Setup mode clearly sequences workflows: test → lint → security → release. The Improve mode has a clear audit-then-patch workflow. Individual sections have clear ordering, validation steps (e.g., 'git diff --exit-code' for mod tidy, coverage thresholds, branch protection as safety net for auto-merge), and security warnings that serve as checkpoints before applying elevated-permission workflows.

3 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

The skill is well-structured as an overview document with clear one-level-deep references to asset files (test.yml, lint.yml, security.yml, etc.) and reference documents (repo-security.md). Navigation is easy with a logical section flow, and content is appropriately split between the overview and supporting files. Cross-references to related skills are clearly listed.

Description

100%

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

This is an excellent skill description that clearly enumerates specific capabilities, includes a comprehensive set of natural trigger terms spanning tools and concepts, and provides an explicit 'Use when' clause. The combination of language-specific (Golang/Go) and platform-specific (GitHub Actions) scoping makes it highly distinctive and unlikely to conflict with other skills.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Lists multiple specific concrete actions and tools: testing, linting, SAST, security scanning, code coverage, Dependabot, Renovate, GoReleaser, code review automation, and release pipelines. Very comprehensive enumeration of capabilities.

3 / 3

Completeness

Clearly answers both 'what' (CI/CD pipeline configuration with specific tools and capabilities) and 'when' (explicit 'Use when...' clause covering setting up Go CI, configuring workflows, adding linters/scanners, automating dependency updates, or adding quality gates).

3 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

Excellent coverage of natural terms users would say: 'CI/CD', 'GitHub Actions', 'Golang', 'Go project', 'linters', 'security scanners', 'dependency updates', 'quality gates', 'Dependabot', 'Renovate', 'GoReleaser', 'code coverage'. These are all terms a developer would naturally use when requesting this kind of help.

3 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Highly distinctive by scoping to the intersection of GitHub Actions + Golang specifically, with named tools like GoReleaser, Dependabot, and Renovate. Unlikely to conflict with generic CI/CD skills or non-Go language skills.
