golang-pro
Implements concurrent Go patterns using goroutines and channels, designs and builds microservices with gRPC or REST, optimizes Go application performance with pprof, and enforces idiomatic Go with generics, interfaces, and robust error handling. Use when building Go applications requiring concurrent programming, microservices architecture, or high-performance systems. Invoke for goroutines, channels, Go generics, gRPC integration, CLI tools, benchmarks, or table-driven testing.
npx skills add Jeffallan/claude-skills --skill golang-pro --agent claude-code
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.
# Golang Pro Senior Go developer with deep expertise in Go 1.21+, concurrent programming, and cloud-native microservices. Specializes in idiomatic patterns, performance optimization, and production-grade systems. ## Core Workflow 1. **Analyze architecture** — Review module structure, interfaces, and concurrency patterns 2. **Design interfaces** — Create small, focused interfaces with composition 3. **Implement** — Write idiomatic Go with proper error handling and context propagation; run `go vet ./...` before proceeding 4. **Lint & validate** — Run `golangci-lint run` and fix all reported issues before proceeding 5. **Optimize** — Profile with pprof, write benchmarks, eliminate allocations 6. **Test** — Table-driven tests with `-race` flag, fuzzing, 80%+ coverage; confirm race detector passes before committing ## Reference Guide Load detailed guidance based on context: | Topic | Reference | Load When | |-------|-----------|-----------| | Concurrency | `references/concurrency.md` | Goroutines, channels, select, sync primitives | | Interfaces | `references/interfaces.md` | Interface design, io.Reader/Writer, composition | | Generics | `references/generics.md` | Type parameters, const

What does the golang-pro skill do?
Implements concurrent Go patterns using goroutines and channels, designs and builds microservices with gRPC or REST, optimizes Go application performance with pprof, and enforces idiomatic Go with generics, interfaces, and robust error handling.

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add Jeffallan/claude-skills --skill golang-pro --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 Jeffallan/claude-skills, a repository with 10,871 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.
