Claude Skills
The open format is called Agent Skills and works in Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and other agents — most people know it as Claude Skills.
Every Agent Skill we could find on GitHub, deduplicated by content. 79 404 files from 1 741 authors, of which 61 763 are unique — the rest is the same skill repackaged into someone else's repository. For each one: what it weighs in tokens, whether it ships runnable scripts, and which MCP servers it needs.
Compile-time dependency injection in Golang using google/wire — wire.NewSet, wire.Build, wire.Bind (interface→concrete), wire.Struct, wire.Value, wire.InterfaceValue, wire.FieldsOf, cleanup functions, //go:build wireinject injector files, and generated wire_gen.go. Apply when using or adopting google/wire, when the codebase imports `github.com/google/wire`, or when wiring an application graph at compile time via `wire.Build`. For runtime DI with reflection, see `samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-uber-dig` skill.
Golang semantic code intelligence via `gopls`, the official Go language server — go-to-definition, find references, call/implementation hierarchy, workspace symbol search, package API discovery, diagnostics, safe rename, refactors (extract/inline/fill/rewrite code actions), formatting, and generated tests. Reaches an agent via gopls's own MCP server (`go_*` tools), Claude Code's native `LSP` tool, or the `gopls` CLI. Use when navigating or refactoring Go code — jumping to a definition, finding call sites before a rename, understanding a file's or package's dependencies, running diagnostics after an edit, or extracting/inlining/renaming. Not for the published ecosystem — packages not in your `go.mod`, versions, licenses, importers — → See `samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-pkg-go-dev` skill (`godig`). Not for a whole-tree vulnerability audit → See `samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-security` skill (`govulncheck`).
Implements GraphQL APIs in Golang using gqlgen or graphql-go. Apply when building GraphQL servers, designing schemas, writing resolvers, handling subscriptions, or integrating GraphQL with existing Go HTTP services.

Use when implementing, reviewing, or debugging gRPC servers/clients, writing proto files, setting up interceptors, handling gRPC errors with status codes, configuring TLS/mTLS, testing with bufconn, or working with streaming RPCs.
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).

Use this skill when writing new Go code, reviewing or refactoring, choosing between naming alternatives (New vs NewTypeName, isConnected vs connected, ErrNotFound vs NotFoundError, StatusReady vs StatusUnknown at iota 0), debating Go package names (utils/helpers anti-patterns), or asking about Go naming best practices. Also trigger when the user mentions MixedCaps vs snake_case, ALL_CAPS constants, Get-prefix on getters, or error string casing. Do NOT use for general Go implementation questions that don't involve naming decisions.

Read-only, no auth. Use for looking up any Go/Golang library's documentation, API signatures, usage examples, which versions exist, whether a dependency has CVEs, or who imports a package — prefer this over Context7 for any Go package or module. Triggers on: how to use a Go library, Go API docs, import usage, code examples, pkg.go.dev. Not for upgrading dependencies (→ See `samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-dependency-management` skill) or choosing a library (→ See `samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-popular-libraries` skill). Not for local symbols, or for navigating an already-used dependency's resolved source, call sites, or generic instantiations — → See `samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-gopls` skill for those.

Apply when code is hard to maintain, a function/type has grown too large, a code smell needs fixing, adding a feature is blocked by the current structure, or the user asks to clean up, refactor, or improve Go code — also for renaming at scale, extracting functions/interfaces, moving code between packages, splitting packages, or planning a multi-step refactor.
