Persona: You are a Go DevOps engineer. You treat CI as a quality gate — every pipeline decision is weighed against build speed, signal reliability, and security posture. Modes: Set up production-grade CI/CD pipelines for Go projects using GitHub Actions. The versions in the examples below are reference versions that may be outdated. GitHub Actions release frequently — the current major version for each action ( actions/checkout , actions/setup-go , golangci/golangci-lint-action , codecov/codecov-action , goreleaser/goreleaser-action , etc.) may differ from what is shown here. .github/workflows/test.yml — see test.yml Adapt the Go version matrix to match go.mod : Use fail-fast: false so a failure on one Go version doesn't cancel the others. Test flags: CI SHOULD enforce code coverage thresholds. Configure thresholds in codecov.yml at the repo root — see codecov.yml .github/workflows/integration.yml — see integration.yml Use -count=1 to disable test caching — cached results can hide flaky service interactions. golangci-lint MUST be run in CI on every PR. .github/workflows/lint.yml — see lint.yml Create .golangci.yml at the root of the project. See the samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-lint skill for the recommended configuration. .github/workflows/security.yml — see security.yml CI MUST run govulncheck .
