At a glance

Diagnoses configuration failures in the gorest project by listing the required environment variables grouped by feature and giving minimal commands for a safe local test setup.

  • Works in 3 steps: Enumerate required keys: inspect… → Group by feature: present keys grouped… → Provide minimal local setup: recommend…
  • Tests fail because an environment variable is missing
  • SKILL.md covers When to Use, Rules, Authoritative Sources and Workflow, plus 4 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

When tests or local runs fail because of missing or wrongly set environment variables or feature toggles, the agent enumerates the required keys from the authoritative sources: `setTestEnv.sh`, the `.env.sample` files, `config/*.go` where `os.Getenv` and feature checks live, and the `llms.txt` reference tables. It groups the keys by feature, such as JWT, RDBMS, Redis, MongoDB, email, 2FA, CORS and firewall.

The output is a list of required keys by feature, a quick checklist of the toggles that enable or disable features, and the minimal commands to get tests running locally, typically `source setTestEnv.sh` plus per-test overrides. The key rule is that it never asks for or prints real secrets. Related skills in the repo handle test running, source search and code navigation.

When your agent uses it

  • Tests fail because an environment variable is missing
  • Working out which env vars a feature such as password recovery needs
  • Finding out why a middleware such as JWT is not activating

Example prompts

  • “Which environment variables do I need to run the password recovery tests?”
  • “Why isn't the JWT middleware activating in my local run?”
  • “Set up my local environment so the Redis tests can run.”

Requirements

  • A checkout of the gorest repository with `setTestEnv.sh` and the `.env.sample` files

Workflow steps

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

  1. Enumerate required keys: inspect setTestEnv.sh, .env.sample files, and config/*.go for os.Getenv calls and feature checks.
  2. Group by feature: present keys grouped by feature toggle (JWT, RDBMS, Redis, MongoDB, Email, 2FA, CORS, Firewall, etc.).
  3. Provide minimal local setup: recommend source setTestEnv.sh and any per-test overrides.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 38aab64. 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

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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.

Context cost

Config Loader Helper loads about 441 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 34 tokens; SKILL.md has 168 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~34
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~441

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.

Config Loader Helper

When to Use

  • Tests or local runs fail due to missing or mis-set environment variables or toggles.

Rules

  • Never ask for or print real secrets.
  • Use the authoritative sources listed below for env var discovery.

Authoritative Sources

  • setTestEnv.sh (test environment)
  • .env.sample (root), example/.env.sample, example2/cmd/app/.env.sample
  • config/*.go (feature checks via os.Getenv)
  • llms.txt (complete env var reference tables)

Workflow

  1. Enumerate required keys: inspect setTestEnv.sh, .env.sample files, and config/*.go for os.Getenv calls and feature checks.
  2. Group by feature: present keys grouped by feature toggle (JWT, RDBMS, Redis, MongoDB, Email, 2FA, CORS, Firewall, etc.).
  3. Provide minimal local setup: recommend source setTestEnv.sh and any per-test overrides.

Key Feature Toggles

  • gconfig.IsRDBMS(), gconfig.IsRedis(), gconfig.IsMongo()
  • gconfig.IsJWT(), gconfig.Is2FA(), gconfig.IsCORS(), gconfig.IsWAF()
  • gconfig.IsEmailService(), gconfig.IsEmailVerificationService()
  • gconfig.IsHashPass(), gconfig.IsCipher()
  • See llms.txt for the complete list.

Output

  • Required keys (grouped by feature).
  • Quick checklist of toggles that enable/disable features.
  • Minimal commands to get tests running locally.

Examples

  • "Which env vars are needed to run password-recovery tests?"
  • "Why is the JWT middleware not activating?"
  • test-runner, source-search, code-navigation
