# {{PROJECT_NAME}}
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server built with Go.
## Description
{{PROJECT_DESCRIPTION}}
## Installation
\`\`\`bash
go mod download
go build -o {{PROJECT_NAME}}
\`\`\`
## Usage
Run the server with stdio transport:
\`\`\`bash
./{{PROJECT_NAME}}
\`\`\`
## Configuration
Configure via environment variables:
- `SERVER_NAME`: Server name (default: "{{PROJECT_NAME}}")
- `VERSION`: Server version (default: "v1.0.0")
- `LOG_LEVEL`: Logging level (default: "info")
## Available Tools
### tool1
{{TOOL1_DESCRIPTION}}
**Input:**
- `param1` (string, required): First parameter
- `param2` (int, optional): Second parameter
**Output:**
- `result` (string): Operation result
- `status` (string): Status of the operation
## Development
Run tests:
\`\`\`bash
go test ./...
\`\`\`
Build:
\`\`\`bash
go build -o {{PROJECT_NAME}}
\`\`\`

## Generation Instructions
When generating a Go MCP server:
1. **Initialize Module**: Create `go.mod` with proper module path
2. **Structure**: Follow the template directory structure
3. **Type Safety**: Use structs with JSON schema tags for all inputs/outputs
4. **Error Handling**: Validate inputs, check context, wrap errors
5. **Documentation**: Add clear descriptions and examples
6. **Testing**: Include at least one test per tool
7. **Configuration**: Use environment variables for config
8. **Logging**: Use structured logging (log/slog)
9. **Graceful Shutdown**: Handle signals properly
10. **Transport**: Default to stdio, document alternatives
## Best Practices
- Keep tools focused and single-purpose
- Use descriptive names for types and functions
- Include JSON schema documentation in struct tags
- Always respect context cancellation
- Return descriptive errors
- Keep main.go minimal, logic in packages
- Write tests for tool handlers
- Document all exported functionsRelated Skills

Accessibility Standards
Comprehensive web accessibility standards based on WCAG 2.2 AA, with 38+ anti-patterns, legal enforcement context (EAA, ADA Title II), WAI-ARIA patterns, and framework-specific fixes for modern web frameworks and libraries.
Accord
Authoring unified specification packages across Business/Development/Design teams via staged elaboration (L0 Vision → L1 Requirements → L2 Team Detail → L3 Acceptance Criteria). No code. Use when authoring cross-team specs, building L0-L3 packages, or aligning Biz/Dev/Design on a single source of truth.
Acquire Codebase Knowledge
Use this skill when the user explicitly asks to map, document, or onboard into an existing codebase. Trigger for prompts like "map this codebase", "document this architecture", "onboard me to this repo", or "create codebase docs". Do not trigger for routine feature implementation, bug fixes, or narrow code edits unless the user asks for repository-level discovery.
Acreadiness Assess
Run the AgentRC readiness assessment on the current repository and produce a static HTML dashboard at reports/index.html. Wraps `npx github:microsoft/agentrc readiness` and hands off rendering to the @ai-readiness-reporter custom agent. Supports policies (--policy) for org-specific scoring. Use when asked to assess, audit, or score the AI readiness of a repo.
Acreadiness Generate Instructions
Generate tailored AI agent instruction files via AgentRC instructions command. Produces .github/copilot-instructions.md (default, recommended for Copilot in VS Code) plus optional per-area .instructions.md files with applyTo globs for monorepos. Use after running /acreadiness-assess to close gaps in the AI Tooling pillar.
Acreadiness Policy
Help the user pick, write, or apply an AgentRC policy. Policies customise readiness scoring by disabling irrelevant checks, overriding impact/level, setting pass-rate thresholds, or chaining org baselines with team overrides. Use when the user asks about strict mode, AI-only scoring, custom weights, CI gating, or wants org-wide standardisation.
