What it does
Go Cobra Applications is an agent skill from hashgraph-online/awesome-codex-plugins. Build, refactor, test, and review Cobra-based Go applications with intentional command trees, fresh constructors, suggestions, typed boundaries, scoped flags, local or remote configuration, explicit precedence, safe live reload, context propagation, stable streams, shell completion, and generated documentation. Use for Cobra or Viper CLI architecture and implementation.
Its SKILL.md is about 840 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/cobra-applications/checklist.md`). Compatibility notes: Codex, Claude Code, and other Agent Skills-compatible clients.
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
- Viper CLI architecture and implementation
Example prompts
- “/go-cobra-applications”
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.
- Model the tree around user resources, workflows, and operations.
- Define invocation contracts, argument validation, examples, and flag scope.
- Construct fresh root and subcommands with explicit dependencies and streams.
- Keep handlers thin, propagate context, and return errors.
- Resolve defaults, config, environment, and flags into a validated typed config.
- Test parsing, inheritance, precedence, help, errors, and repeated execution.
- Generate completion and documentation from the same runtime tree.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3e1456a. 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):
pragprog.comcobra.devgithub.com
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 Cobra Applications loads about 836 tokens when it runs, and up to ~7.9k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 99 tokens; SKILL.md has 301 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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 Cobra Applications
Keep Cobra and Viper at the application edge. Construct a fresh command tree per execution and translate CLI state into typed application calls.
Core Workflow
- Model the tree around user resources, workflows, and operations.
- Define invocation contracts, argument validation, examples, and flag scope.
- Construct fresh root and subcommands with explicit dependencies and streams.
- Keep handlers thin, propagate context, and return errors.
- Resolve defaults, config, environment, and flags into a validated typed config.
- Test parsing, inheritance, precedence, help, errors, and repeated execution.
- Generate completion and documentation from the same runtime tree.

| Task | Load |
|---|---|
| Build or restructure a Cobra application | guidelines.md, workflows/build-cobra-command-tree.md |
| Apply command-tree, flag, config, and testing rules | references/cobra-applications/rules.md |
| Use constructors and focused implementation examples | references/cobra-applications/examples.md |
| Inject services or resolve configuration | references/cobra-applications/patterns.md |
| Review a Cobra/Viper application | references/cobra-applications/checklist.md |
| Understand architecture, completion, and docs | references/cobra-applications/knowledge.md |
Guardrails
- Avoid mutable package-global commands and
init-driven application wiring. - Domain packages must not import Cobra or Viper.
- Use persistent flags only when descendants genuinely share the option.
- Treat configuration as validated runtime policy, not mutable application storage.
- Validate reload candidates and atomically publish only last-known-good state.
- Show usage for syntax errors, not routine operational failures.
- Verify generator, completion, docs, and configuration APIs against pinned versions.
