Go — Advanced Patterns

What it does

This skill provides an agent with detailed, idiomatic Go patterns and recipes for writing correct, safe, and performant Go code. It covers error wrapping and sentinel errors, goroutine lifecycle and channel patterns, sync primitives, context propagation, interface design, generics, testing strategies (table-driven tests, benchmarks, fuzzing), and common gotchas.

When to use it

Activate this skill when writing or reviewing non-trivial Go code: designing error flows, structuring concurrent pipelines, implementing interfaces, adding generics, or authoring tests and benchmarks. It's useful during code reviews, refactors, or when converting ad-hoc code into idiomatic packages.

What's included

• Scripts: none detected (has_scripts=false)
• References: no external references bundled (has_references=false)
• Instructions: extensive examples and patterns, including code snippets for error wrapping, goroutine shutdown, fan-out/fan-in, sync primitives, functional options, generics examples, net/http handler patterns, and testing checklists.

Compatible agents

Best used by agents that can read and produce Go code, suggest diffs, and run local tests—Copilot-style or Claude Code/Code assistants that can edit repositories and run go test.
