What frameworks does this skill use?

It uses Cobra for the CLI structure, Viper for configuration, Logrus for logging, and SQLite for database management.

Can I use this for existing Go projects?

Yes, you can use the 'add-command' scripts to extend existing projects that follow the Cobra/Viper pattern.

Is database support optional?

Yes, you can scaffold projects with the --no-database flag if your tool does not require persistent SQLite storage.

What coding standards are followed?

The skill enforces strict formatting with gofumpt and linting with golangci-lint via the included Makefile and CI workflows.

Does it support cross-platform releases?

Yes, it includes GitHub Actions workflows to build and release binaries for Linux, macOS, and Windows (amd64 and arm64).
