How does the Go Build Runner find my project root?

The skill searches for a go.mod file in the current directory, common subdirectories like 'backend' or 'server', and performs a recursive search up to two levels deep if necessary.

Does this skill support different binary names?

By default, it names the binary 'server', but you can customize this by setting the GO_BIN_NAME environment variable.

Can I specify a custom path for the main.go file?

Yes, you can set the GO_MAIN_PATH environment variable to manually point the runner to your specific entry point.

Why don't I see the full build log in my chat?

To keep the conversation clean and efficient, the skill suppresses full logs and only reports success status or detailed error messages if the build fails.
