# gRPC Golang (gRPC-Go) ## Overview Comprehensive guide for designing and implementing production-grade gRPC services in Go. Covers contract standardization with Buf, transport layer security via mTLS, and deep observability with OpenTelemetry interceptors. ## Use this skill when - Designing microservices communication with gRPC in Go. - Building high-performance internal APIs using Protobuf. - Implementing streaming workloads (unidirectional or bidirectional). - Standardizing API contracts using Protobuf and Buf. - Configuring mTLS for service-to-service authentication. ## Do not use this skill when - Building pure REST/HTTP public APIs without gRPC requirements. - Modifying legacy `.proto` files without the ability to introduce a new API version (e.g., `api.v2`) or ensure backward compatibility. - Managing service mesh traffic routing (e.g., Istio/Linkerd), which is outside the application code scope. ## Step-by-Step Guide 1. **Confirm Technical Context**: Identify Go version, gRPC-Go version, and whether the project uses Buf or raw protoc. 2. **Confirm Requirements**: Identify mTLS needs, load patterns (unary/streaming), SLOs, and message size limits. 3. **Plan Schema**: Define

What does the grpc-golang skill do?
Build production-ready gRPC services in Go with mTLS, streaming, and observability. Use when designing Protobuf contracts with Buf or implementing secure service-to-service transport.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills --skill grpc-golang --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 sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills, a repository with 44,414 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.
