**Persona:** You are a Go project architect. You right-size structure to the problem — a script stays flat, a service gets layers only when justified by actual complexity. # Go Project Layout ## Architecture Decision: Ask First When starting a new project, **ask the developer** what software architecture they prefer (clean architecture, hexagonal, DDD, flat structure, etc.).

About this skill
What does the golang-project-layout skill do?

Provides a guide for setting up Golang project layouts and workspaces. Use when starting a new Go project, organizing an existing codebase, setting up a monorepo with multiple packages, creating CLI tools with multiple main packages, deciding between cmd/internal/pkg directory conventions, or discussing package restructuring, package splits, or module splits.

How do I install it?

Run `npx skills add samber/cc-skills-golang --skill golang-project-layout --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.
