What it does

Go CLI Errors Observability is an agent skill from hashgraph-online/awesome-codex-plugins. Design and review recoverable Go CLI errors, exit semantics, structured logging, debug modes, traces, profiles, redaction, and user-consented diagnostic bundles. Use when a CLI needs actionable failures, safe support evidence, production troubleshooting, or observability that does not corrupt command output or expose secrets.

Its SKILL.md is about 790 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 11 other files, including reference files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`, `guidelines.md` and `references/errors-observability/examples.md`). Compatibility notes: Codex, Claude Code, and other Agent Skills-compatible clients.

It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Observability. 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

  • A CLI needs actionable failures
  • Safe support evidence
  • Production troubleshooting
  • Observability that does not corrupt command output

Example prompts

  • “/go-cli-errors-observability”

Requirements

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

Workflow steps

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

  1. Classify failures by user action, dependency, cancellation, and internal defect.
  2. Preserve machine-checkable causes with wrapping, types, or sentinels.
  3. Map causes to concise user messages and stable exit behavior at the boundary.
  4. Assign one terminal owner to render, log, and map each failure.
  5. Preserve material cleanup failures without hiding the primary cause.
  6. Add opt-in verbosity and structured logs on stderr or a dedicated sink.
  7. Allowlist and redact diagnostic evidence; require consent before collection or upload.
  8. Test recovery guidance, output separation, redaction, and cancellation.

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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    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):

    • pkg.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 Errors Observability loads about 791 tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 89 tokens; SKILL.md has 322 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~89
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~791
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~2.5k

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 Errors and Observability

Design failures for recovery first, then add the minimum safe evidence needed to diagnose them. Keep internal detail out of the normal user contract.

Core Workflow

  1. Classify failures by user action, dependency, cancellation, and internal defect.
  2. Preserve machine-checkable causes with wrapping, types, or sentinels.
  3. Map causes to concise user messages and stable exit behavior at the boundary.
  4. Assign one terminal owner to render, log, and map each failure.
  5. Preserve material cleanup failures without hiding the primary cause.
  6. Add opt-in verbosity and structured logs on stderr or a dedicated sink.
  7. Allowlist and redact diagnostic evidence; require consent before collection or upload.
  8. Test recovery guidance, output separation, redaction, and cancellation.

Review code patternsreferences/errors-observability/examples.md
Understand layering and privacyreferences/errors-observability/knowledge.md

Guardrails

  • Never log secrets, authorization headers, raw config, or unreviewed environment data.
  • Do not make normal stdout depend on log level.
  • Preserve cancellation and timeout identity with errors.Is.
  • Do not both log and return the same failure at intermediate layers.
  • Do not use panic for ordinary validation, dependency, or user errors.
  • Do not collect or upload diagnostics without a visible allowlist and consent.
  • Protect profiling or debug servers; default them off and bind locally.

Source Notes

Guidance is transformed and paraphrased from Marian Montagnino, Building Modern CLI Applications in Go (Packt, 2023), especially Chapter 9, and Ricardo Gerardi, Powerful Command-Line Applications in Go (2021).

Handler composition, context correlation, and joined-error guidance also incorporates transformed material from Inanc Gumus, Go by Example: Programmer's Guide to Idiomatic and Testable Programs (Manning, 2025), Chapter 9.

Error ownership, panic boundaries, and cleanup-failure guidance also incorporates transformed material from Teiva Harsanyi, 100 Go Mistakes and How to Avoid Them (Manning, 2022), Chapter 7.

Verify current logging APIs against https://pkg.go.dev/log/slog and error APIs against the current Go standard library documentation.
