Curated by Skill Harbor — using spf13/cobra, the de facto standard for Go CLI applications: cobra.Command setup, RunE vs Run, the PersistentPreRunE hook chain, args validators (NoArgs, ExactArgs, MatchAll, custom), persistent vs local flags, command groups, shell completion (ValidArgsFunction, RegisterFlagCompletionFunc, ShellCompDirective), usage/help template customization, and man-page and markdown doc generation. Three modes: build (new CLI from scratch), extend (add subcommands, flags, completions to an existing tree), review (audit against the common-mistakes table, RunE usage, hook chain ordering, args validation). Design the user-facing surface first, then wire behavior into the right hook. Honest layering: cobra handles the command tree — it does NOT handle configuration layering, that's viper's job (see the already-listed samber-golang-spf13-viper); for general CLI architecture see the already-listed samber-golang-cli.

Install
Prerequisites: a Go toolchain (go) and a project using github.com/spf13/cobra Install "spf13/cobra" for me. Command-tree library for Go CLIs: commands, hooks, flags, completions, doc generation Repository: https://github.com/samber/cc-skills-golang/blob/main/skills/golang-spf13-cobra/SKILL.md 1. Fetch the SKILL.md file for the samber-golang-spf13-cobra skill from the repository into a temporary folder and summarize what it does in one or two sentences. 2. Safety check: review the SKILL.md and scripts for anything suspicious (unexpected network calls, shell commands, credential harvesting). This repo should contain zero secrets in code, credentials only via the secure vault, allowed hosts declared in the SKILL.md. Verify that holds here; STOP on any red flag and tell me. 3. Install it as a skill: copy SKILL.md and its helper files into the agent's skills directory, in a folder named "samber-golang-spf13-cobra". 4. Verify with no network calls: frontmatter valid, files in place. 5. Report what was installed, where, and what I still need to do myself (e.g. any accounts, API keys, or CLI tools mentioned in the prerequisites above). GitHub is optional: if I have a GitHub account or the gh CLI, you may use it; otherwise public access is fine. Never require it unless it's in the prerequisites above. Rules: don't touch anything outside the temp folder and the install target. Never ask me to paste secrets in chat — credentials go through the secure vault or environment variables. If anything looks off, stop and ask me.
Questions
How do I install a build?
Every product page includes a copy-paste install prompt. Paste it into your Muse and it sets the build up for you — no manual configuration.
Where does my money go?
Straight to the seller. Skill Harbor never processes payments: checkout happens on the seller’s own page, usually Stripe.
What does the ✓ next to a creator’s name mean?
It means we confirmed the identity of the person behind the listing. It says nothing about the code itself — always check a build before installing it.
