cc-skills-golang

Agent Skills that teach coding assistants idiomatic, production-grade Go

Stars: 3.4k
License: MIT
Last commit: Oct 2026
Last release: Aug 2026
Language: Go

Missed the latest GitHub check; these facts may be older.

Overview

A collection of about 50 Agent Skills covering Go style, error handling, testing, security, concurrency, observability and performance, plus library skills for gRPC, cobra, viper, wire, fx and samber/*. Skills load on demand, so only short descriptions sit in context. Installs through the skills CLI, a Claude Code plugin, or by cloning into the skills directory of Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor, Copilot, OpenCode and others.

Who it is for: Go developers using AI coding assistants who want consistent Go conventions

Strengths

Works with Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor, Copilot, OpenCode and Antigravity
Lists per-skill token weights, so context cost is visible before installing
README reports 97% eval pass with skills versus 57% without, across 3,439 checks
Skills load on demand rather than all at once

Weaknesses

Skills cross-reference each other; installing a subset gives inconsistent guidance
Go only; git, CI and PR workflow skills need a separate plugin
Eval results are the author's own benchmark
golang-temporal skill is still marked to-do

What it needs

no GPU
Needs Node.js (npx skills CLI), gopls (golang-gopls skill), godig (golang-pkg-go-dev skill)
Models: Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor, Copilot

How to choose

Check which agent it targets and whether it works with the version you run.
Read what it adds to every prompt; big rule sets cost tokens on each call.
Prefer add-ons you can turn off per project.
