add-cobra-version

A setup for adding a version command to a Go command-line program built with Cobra, a Go library for defining terminal commands. It includes build details such as the version, commit, build date, and Go runtime.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when an existing Cobra-based Go CLI needs a version command, build metadata, optional JSON output, and release builds configured through GoReleaser and a Makefile.
Why use it?
It removes the need to connect version information manually across the program, release configuration, and build scripts. Users can check which build they are running.

Security

Grade A, and why

add-cobra-version scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
