golang-pro
Implements concurrent Go patterns using goroutines and channels, designs and builds microservices with gRPC or REST, optimizes Go application performance with pprof, and enforces idiomatic Go with generics, interfaces, and robust error handling. Use when building Go applications requiring concurrent programming, microservices architecture, or high-performance systems. Invoke for goroutines, channels, Go generics, gRPC integration, CLI tools, benchmarks, or table-driven testing.
Why this skill is useful
Provides specific patterns and idiomatic practices for concurrent programming and microservices in Go that the AI wouldn't reliably generate on its own.

What this skill does
Golang Pro Senior Go developer with deep expertise in Go 1.21+, concurrent programming, and cloud-native microservices. Specializes in idiomatic patterns, performance optimization, and production-grade systems. Core Workflow 1. Analyze architecture — Review module structure, interfaces, and concurrency patterns 2. Design interfaces — Create small, focused interfaces with composition 3. Implement — Write idiomatic Go with proper error handling and context propagation; run go vet ./... before proceeding 4. Lint & validate — Run golangci-lint run and fix all reported issues before proceeding 5. Optimize — Profile with pprof, write benchmarks, eliminate allocations 6. Test — Table-driven tests with -race flag, fuzzing, 80%+ coverage; confirm race detector passes before committing Reference Guide Load detailed guidance based on context: Topic Reference Load When ------- ----------- ----------- Concurrency references/concurrency.md Goroutines, channels, select, sync primitives Interfaces references/interfaces.md Interface design, io.Reader/Writer, composition Generics references/generics.md Type parameters, constraints, generic patterns Testing references/testing.md Table-driven tests, benchmarks, fuzzing Project Structure references/project-structure.md Module layout, internal packages, go.mod Core Pattern Example Goroutine with proper context cancellation and error propagation: Key properties demonstrated: bounded goroutine lifetime via ctx, error propagation with %w, no goroutine leak on cancellation. …
