Generate GoReleaser Configuration

Instantly create complete GoReleaser setup for Go projects with multi-architecture Docker builds, automated releases, and package distribution. This skill replaces the multi-step manual setup with a single invocation.

Why This Skill Exists

Problem: Setting up GoReleaser requires:

• Creating complex YAML configuration (~300 lines)
• Designing multi-stage Dockerfiles for cross-platform builds
• Configuring non-root container users
• Understanding ldflags, build matrix, Docker buildx
• Testing across multiple architectures A 60-90 minute process requiring deep GoReleaser knowledge.

Solution: One-command generation that:

• Creates production-ready .goreleaser.yml (316 lines)
• Includes optimized Dockerfile for multi-arch builds
• Sets up non-root container user configuration
• Auto-detects project structure and binary names
• Supports standard (full) and minimal modes
• Preserves all customization comments

Content Generation Rules

CRITICAL: When generating any content (configuration files, Dockerfiles, commit messages, or any other output):

• NEVER add Claude Code attribution or co-authorship
• NEVER include phrases like "Generated by Claude", "Created with Claude Code", or similar
• NEVER add "Co-Authored-By: Claude" in commit messages or documentation
• All generated content should appear as if written by a human developer
• Focus on technical accuracy and providing working templates

Process (7 Phases)

Phase 1: Prerequisites Validation

Critical checks before proceeding:

1. Validate Git repository:

   git rev-parse --git-dir
   

   • If fails: Exit with error "Not a git repository. Run 'git init' first."

2. Validate Go project:

   test -f go.mod
   

   • If fails: Exit with error "go.mod not found. This skill is for Go projects only."

3. Check existing GoReleaser files:

   test -f .goreleaser.yml || test -f .goreleaser.yaml
   test -f Dockerfile
   test -d resources/etc
   

   • Store results:
     • existingConfig = true/false (for .goreleaser.yml/yaml)
     • existingDockerfile = true/false
     • existingResources = true/false
     • existingFile = <filename> if config exists
