Does this work with Firebase Emulators?

Yes, it is fully compatible. It is recommended to start your Firebase Emulators before launching the Go development server to ensure all local services are available.

How does the skill find my Go project?

The skill prioritizes the GO_BACKEND_DIR environment variable, then searches for go.mod in the current directory, common subdirectories like backend/ or api/, and performs a recursive search up to two levels deep.

How do I stop the running Go server?

The server runs as a foreground process; you can stop it manually using the standard Ctrl+C interrupt command in your terminal session.

What directory structures does it support out of the box?

It automatically detects common patterns including cmd/server/main.go, cmd/api/main.go, cmd/main.go, and main.go in the project root.

Can I specify a custom main.go path?

Yes, you can set the GO_MAIN_PATH environment variable to define exactly which file should be used as the entry point for the go run command.

Desarrollo de API

Starts and manages local Go development servers with automatic project detection and smart entry point discovery.

The Go Dev Server skill streamlines backend development by automatically identifying Go project roots and main entry points to launch servers using the go run command. It intelligently handles complex directory structures by searching for go.mod files and standard path conventions like cmd/server/ or cmd/api/. By supporting environment variable overrides and providing a standardized way to initiate local services, it allows developers to focus on writing code while Claude manages the operational overhead of running and monitoring backend processes.
