go-concurrency-patterns
Master Go concurrency with goroutines, channels, sync primitives, and context. Use when building concurrent Go applications, implementing worker pools, or debugging race conditions.

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Go Concurrency Patterns Production patterns for Go concurrency including goroutines, channels, synchronization primitives, and context management. ## When to Use This Skill - Building concurrent Go applications - Implementing worker pools and pipelines - Managing goroutine lifecycles - Using channels for communication - Debugging race conditions - Implementing graceful shutdown ## Core Concepts ### 1. Go Concurrency Primitives | Primitive | Purpose | | ----------------- | -------------------------------- | | `goroutine` | Lightweight concurrent execution | | `channel` | Communication between goroutines | | `select` | Multiplex channel operations | | `sync.Mutex` | Mutual exclusion | | `sync.WaitGroup` | Wait for goroutines to complete | | `context.Context` | Cancellation and deadlines | ### 2. Go Concurrency Mantra ``` Don't communicate by sharing memory; share memory by communicating. ``` ## Quick Start ```go package main import ( "context" "fmt" "sync" "time" ) func main() { ctx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(context.Background(), 5*time.Second) defer cancel() results := make(chan string, 10) var wg sync.WaitGroup // Spawn workers for i := 0; i < 3; i++ { wg.Add(1) go worker(ct

What does the go-concurrency-patterns skill do?
Master Go concurrency with goroutines, channels, sync primitives, and context. Use when building concurrent Go applications, implementing worker pools, or debugging race conditions.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add wshobson/agents --skill go-concurrency-patterns --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From wshobson/agents, a repository with 38,479 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
