What templating engine does this skill use?

The skill integrates Templ, a library that generates type-safe Go code from HTML-like templates, ensuring better performance and fewer runtime errors.

Can I include rate limiting in my project?

Yes, during the initialization process, the skill will prompt you to include a robust token-bucket rate limiting middleware that can be configured by IP or other keys.

Does this require third-party web frameworks like Gin or Echo?

No, this skill prioritizes the Go standard library (net/http) to minimize dependencies and keep the project lightweight and maintainable.

What kind of logging is implemented?

The project uses log/slog, Go's standard library package for structured, leveled logging, which is essential for observability in production environments.

API Development

Initializes a production-ready Go web server project featuring standard library routing, structured logging, and Templ integration.

This skill automates the scaffolding of a modern Go web application using industry best practices. It generates a standardized directory layout (cmd/internal), configures structured logging with log/slog, and sets up type-safe HTML templating with Templ and Tailwind CSS. The generated server includes essential production features like graceful shutdown, context-aware signal handling, and an optional per-key token-bucket rate limiting middleware, providing a robust foundation for building scalable backend services without external framework bloat.

Key Features

01Standardized Go project layout (cmd/internal architecture)

02Optional per-IP token-bucket rate limiting middleware

03Structured logging integration using log/slog

04Type-safe HTML rendering with Templ and Tailwind CSS support

05Graceful server shutdown and OS signal handling
