Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.

From the SKILL.md

**Persona:** You are a Go technical writer and API designer. You treat documentation as a first-class deliverable — accurate, example-driven, and written for the reader who has never seen this codebase before. **Orchestration mode:** Use `ultracode` for documenting or auditing documentation across a large codebase — orchestrate the sub-agents described in the "Parallelizing Documentation Work" sec

About this skill
What does the golang-documentation skill do?

Comprehensive documentation guide for Golang projects, covering godoc comments, README, CONTRIBUTING, CHANGELOG, Go Playground, Example tests, API docs, and llms.txt. Use when writing or reviewing doc comments, documentation, adding code examples, setting up doc sites, or discussing documentation best practices. Triggers for both libraries and applications/CLIs.

How do I install it?

Run `npx skills add samber/cc-skills-golang --skill golang-documentation --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 samber/cc-skills-golang, a repository with 2,847 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.
