Trust Score 84/100

from bob9

CLI for building and querying a Go code graph and spec-driven project artifacts (spec lookup, call graphs, dead-code and test annotations).

What it does

First-Mate is a command-line tool that parses Go code into an in-memory code graph and provides structural queries and spec lookups. It helps engineers locate spec-to-code mappings, generate call graphs, find dead code, run analyses (lint, vet, race heuristics), and surface test/benchmark-related metrics.

When to use it

Use First-Mate in spec-driven Go projects that include SPECS.md, NOTES.md, TESTS.md or BENCHMARKS.md files. Typical scenarios: tracing which code implements a spec, generating call graphs for complex functions, finding untested or low-coverage functions, and running combined static analyses before large refactors.

What's included

Scripts: none embedded in the SKILL (CLI expected to be in the repo)
References: none listed
Instructions: parse the code graph once per session (first-mate parse_tree), then run tools like call_graph, query_nodes, find_deadcode, run_analysis, run_tests and run_bench. The SKILL.md includes command examples for spec lookup (read_docs, find_spec), structural queries, and analysis workflows.

Compatible agents

Likely used by developer-focused agents and automation that can run CLI tooling: Copilot/Codex-style runners, local automation agents, and CI-based automation that can invoke binaries and parse outputs.

Audit Summary

A comprehensive CLI reference guide for the 'first-mate' Go code graph and spec analysis tool. No scripts included — purely a documentation/reference skill. The SKILL.md is well-organized with clear sections, examples, and field reference tables, but it's narrowly scoped to users of this specific CLI tool in spec-driven Go projects.

Watch Out

The GitHub source path (agents/first-mate/SKILL.md) no longer exists in the repo — skill appears to have been removed or relocated
Requires the 'first-mate' CLI binary to be installed separately, which isn't covered in the skill

Notes

Source path no longer exists in the GitHub repo (404). Content was recovered from git history. The skill is a static reference guide with no executable scripts. No security concerns. Niche audience — only useful for Go developers using the first-mate tool in spec-driven projects.
