What it does

Go CLI Distribution is an agent skill from hashgraph-online/awesome-codex-plugins. Prepare reproducible Go CLI artifacts across operating systems and architectures with toolchain-derived target matrices, capability profiles, portable config and cache discovery, CGO decisions, version metadata, artifact handoff, smoke tests, archives, checksums, containers, and versioned source installation. Use when cross-compiling, packaging binaries, defining the distribution contract, or reviewing portability before release automation.

Its SKILL.md is about 930 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 12 other files, including reference files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`, `guidelines.md` and `references/distribution/checklist.md`). Compatibility notes: Codex, Claude Code, and other Agent Skills-compatible clients.

It sits in Testing & QA, covering QA and bug reports. The repository describes itself as: A curated list of awesome OpenAI Codex / ChatGPT plugins, skills, and resources. The 1 Codex Marketplace. See live plugins at: https://hol.org/plugins/best-codex-plugins. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Cross-compiling
  • Packaging binaries
  • Defining the distribution contract
  • Reviewing portability before release automation

Example prompts

  • “/go-cli-distribution”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Codex, Claude Code, and other Agent Skills-compatible clients.

Workflow steps

7 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Derive supported GOOS/GOARCH targets from the pinned toolchain and dependencies.
  2. Verify platform files and modern //go:build capability constraints.
  3. Pin toolchain, modules, tags, CGO mode, linker flags, and source revision.
  4. Build deterministic target-specific artifacts with deliberate version metadata.
  5. Execute each artifact and test help, version, commands, streams, status, and signals.
  6. Package immutable archives, then generate and verify integrity metadata.
  7. Verify container and versioned go install paths when those are supported.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 16b4156. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • go

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • pragprog.com
    • go.dev

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

  • Compatibility

    Codex, Claude Code, and other Agent Skills-compatible clients.

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Go CLI Distribution loads about 926 tokens when it runs, and up to ~8.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 116 tokens; SKILL.md has 338 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~116
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~926
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~8.5k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Go CLI Distribution

Treat compilation as the start of release verification, not the finish. Declare the matrix, record every build input, and execute the final artifacts.

Core Workflow

  1. Derive supported GOOS/GOARCH targets from the pinned toolchain and dependencies.
  2. Verify platform files and modern //go:build capability constraints.
  3. Pin toolchain, modules, tags, CGO mode, linker flags, and source revision.
  4. Build deterministic target-specific artifacts with deliberate version metadata.
  5. Execute each artifact and test help, version, commands, streams, status, and signals.
  6. Package immutable archives, then generate and verify integrity metadata.
  7. Verify container and versioned go install paths when those are supported.

Review release readinessreferences/distribution/checklist.md
Understand portability and artifact tradeoffsreferences/distribution/knowledge.md

Guardrails

  • Use //go:build; do not introduce legacy-only // +build constraints.
  • Do not assume CGO_ENABLED=0 proves a self-contained artifact.
  • Cross-compilation alone does not establish runtime support.
  • Generate checksums only after final packaging and verify them after upload.
  • Use platform config and cache directory APIs; do not assume Unix home layouts.
  • Treat build tags as capability selection, never authentication or authorization.
  • Define and snapshot-test the artifact contract before release. The protected tagged release job builds final bytes once; downstream channels must not rebuild them.
  • Recommend go install module/cmd/tool@version, not go get, for executable installation.

Source Notes

Guidance is transformed and paraphrased from Ricardo Gerardi, Powerful Command-Line Applications in Go (Pragmatic Bookshelf, 2021), especially Chapter 11. Examples are original adaptations.

Book: https://pragprog.com/titles/rggo/powerful-command-line-applications-in-go/

The source's Go 1.15-era build and install details are historical. Verify current behavior against https://go.dev/doc/go-get-install-deprecation and the current Go build documentation.

Portable directory, profile-matrix, and artifact-handoff guidance also incorporates transformed material from Marian Montagnino, Building Modern CLI Applications in Go (Packt, 2023), especially Chapters 7 and 12-14.

Embedded-schema and SQL-driver packaging guidance also incorporates transformed material from Inanc Gumus, Go by Example: Programmer's Guide to Idiomatic and Testable Programs (Manning, 2025), Chapter 10.
