35+ Agent Skills for Golang

[Samuel Berthe]

I'm releasing today a big collection of Golang Skills for Coding Agents (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, Cursor...).
-> http://github.com/samber/cc-skills-golang

35+ atomic skills covering all aspects of the language (conventions, common errors, top libraries, testing, benchmarks, performance, troubleshooting, etc.).

Benchmarks I ran on Opus 4.6 show a 43% reduction in Go errors and bad practices.

Of course, these skills are not a replacement for your agents or commands that define your development workflows.

You can install them with:
npx skills add -g https://github.com/samber/cc-skills-golang --skill '*'

Enjoy ;)

Thanks Samuel. Looks impressive. For those of us still getting oriented, could you introduce

the what and why of skills?  I've never deployed a "skill" in CC context, I

don't have any agents of my own, and I'm not sure of the caveats and 

drawbacks possible either.

Thanks!

Jason

Hey Jason,

Skills are markdowns describing an atomic methodology/tool/whatever. Skills are invoked automatically by your agent when it considers the skill descritpion match your current task.
Some skills could be used as a command to force invocation.

It basically extends your LLM knowledge and sets boundaries for a specific task. For example I just created a skill that describes how to create a post for Substack (with tone of voice, title max char, body capabilities, available buttons, methodology...).

This is pretty powerful.
