Traction scoreGitHub stars can be faked, so popularity alone can be misleading. Traction Score looks for broader signs of recent attention, adoption, and active maintenance.
This collection provides targeted guidance for backend and infrastructure engineers working with Golang. It focuses on the mechanics of high-performance services, from profiling hot paths with pprof to interpreting CPU and memory traces.
The skills extend to the structural requirements of CLI tools, offering specific patterns for flag handling, configuration layering with Viper, and command architecture using Cobra.
WHO IT'S FOR
Backend / infrastructure engineers
optimizing Go application performance and profiling
CLI / developer-tooling engineers
building robust Go command line interfaces
Technical leads / architects
establishing Go performance regression standards in CI
Compatible AgentsThe repository documents support for these agents. The skills may also work with other agents that can load SKILL.md files, but they may need some setup or small changes.
Follow the documented setup, then try a first task.
I’m using
Install the complete bundle with skills CLI
Installs: Complete cc-skills-golang repository skill bundle; skillPaths is a bounded selection of 30 skills from the mapped ./skills/ directory, not the complete inventory. · Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, Copilot, Antigravity, Cursor
Before you start
An Agent Skills-compatible tool
npx available
Go toolchain already installed for the included Go skills
golangci-lint already installed for the included golang-lint skill
gotests already installed for the included golang-stretchr-testify skill
Go 1.22 or later for the included golang-samber-hot skill.
Run this terminal command to install all skills from the repository.
Installs: Complete cc-skills-golang Claude Code plugin bundle; the supplied Claude plugin manifest does not explicitly map individual SKILL.md paths, so skillPaths is empty. · Claude Code
Before you start
Claude Code
Go toolchain already installed for the included Go skills
golangci-lint already installed for the included golang-lint skill
gotests already installed for the included golang-stretchr-testify skill
Go 1.22 or later for the included golang-samber-hot skill.
Enter both commands in a Claude Code agent session, in this order: first add the samber/cc marketplace, then install the cc-skills-golang plugin from samber.
The handler or request path to inspect, if not obvious
Use the golang-context skill to review the Go files under <path-to-handler-or-package>. Trace one request path from its handler through services and database or external calls. Report up to three concrete problems involving broken propagation, missing cancellation, inappropriate context.Background or context values, and suggest a minimal correction for each. Do not modify files. I will provide the repository path and identify the request path if it is not obvious.
Use the golang-error-handling skill in Review mode to inspect <diff-or-file-paths>. Focus on swallowed errors, missing wrapping context, log-and-return duplication, direct sentinel comparisons, and panic misuse. Return a short prioritized list of findings with the relevant location and a minimal suggested fix. Do not edit the code.
Choose a Go library with a standard-library-first comparison
Uses golang-popular-libraries
Specific Go use case
Project constraints such as performance needs, license policy, and acceptable dependency footprint
Use the golang-popular-libraries skill to recommend an approach for <specific-Go-use-case>. First assess whether the Go standard library is sufficient. If an external dependency adds clear value, compare no more than three production-ready candidates using my constraints for performance, maintenance, license, complexity, and dependency footprint, then recommend one option with concise reasoning. Do not add dependencies or modify the project.
