Golang skills orchestrator — always active on any Golang coding, review, debug, or setup task. Reads the task context and loads the most relevant skills from samber/cc-skills-golang, often multiple at once: writing a gRPC service loads golang-grpc + golang-testing + golang-error-handling; debugging a panic loads golang-troubleshooting + golang-safety; auditing security loads golang-security + golang-lint + golang-safety. Also: disambiguates competing clusters when two skills seem to overlap (performance vs benchmark vs troubleshooting, samber/lo vs mo vs ro, DI cluster, safety vs security), and configures CLAUDE.md or AGENTS.md to force-trigger skills in a project (/golang-how-to configure).

samber/golang-performance
development
VerifiedTrustedCommunity
Golang performance optimization patterns and methodology - if X bottleneck, then apply Y. Covers allocation reduction, CPU efficiency, memory layout, GC tuning, pooling, caching, and hot-path optimization. Use when profiling or benchmarks have identified a bottleneck and you need the right optimization pattern to fix it. Also use when performing performance code review to suggest improvements or benchmarks that could help identify quick performance gains. Not for measurement methodology (→ See `samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-benchmark` skill) or debugging workflow (→ See `samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-troubleshooting` skill).

samber/golang-uber-dig
development
VerifiedTrustedCommunity
Implements dependency injection in Golang using uber-go/dig — reflection-based container, Provide/Invoke, dig.In/dig.Out parameter and result objects, named values, value groups, optional dependencies, scopes, and Decorate. Apply when using or adopting uber-go/dig, when the codebase imports `go.uber.org/dig`, or when wiring an application graph at startup. For higher-level lifecycle and modules, see `samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-uber-fx` skill.
1,807SKILL.mdUpdated Apr 29, 2026
samber/golang-troubleshooting
development
VerifiedTrustedCommunity
Troubleshoot Golang programs systematically - find and fix the root cause. Use when encountering bugs, crashes, deadlocks, or unexpected behavior in Go code. Covers debugging methodology, common Go pitfalls, test-driven debugging, pprof setup and capture, Delve debugger, race detection, GODEBUG tracing, and production debugging. Start here for any 'something is wrong' situation. Not for interpreting profiles or benchmarking (→ See `samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-benchmark` skill) or applying optimization patterns (→ See `samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-performance` skill).
