golang-modernize
From the author
Modernize Golang code to use recent language features, standard library improvements, and idiomatic patterns. Use when reviewing Go code with old-style patterns, when encountering a deprecation warning, or when the user asks for modernization, a Go version upgrade (e.g. to Go 1.27), or a CI/tooling refresh. Not for structural refactors, extracting functions, or moving code between packages (→ See `samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-refactoring` skill).

- golang-refactoringsamber/cc-skills-golangGolang refactoring — safe, at-scale restructuring of existing Go code: a coverage-adaptive safety net, behavior-preserving transforms (gopls Rename/Extract, `gofmt -r`, `gopatch`), the Fowler catalog mapped to Go, breaking import cycles, and small stacked PRs. Apply when a function or type has grown too large, a code smell blocks a feature, or the user asks to refactor Go code — also for renaming at scale, extracting functions or interfaces, moving code between packages, or planning a multi-step refactor. Target styles owned elsewhere → See `samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-naming` (renames), `samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-project-layout` (splits), `samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-modernize` (idioms), `samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-code-style` (control flow), `samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-design-patterns` (patterns/DI).Engineering★ 3.5K
- golang-code-stylesamber/cc-skills-golangGolang code style conventions — line length and breaking, variable declarations, control flow clarity, when comments help vs hurt. Use when writing or reviewing Go code, asking about style or clarity, or establishing project coding standards. Not for naming conventions (→ See `samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-naming` skill), linter configuration (→ See `samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-lint` skill), or doc comments (→ See `samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-documentation` skill).Engineering★ 3.5K
- react-modernizationwshobson/agentsUpgrade React applications to latest versions, migrate from class components to hooks, and adopt concurrent features. Use when modernizing React codebases, migrating to React Hooks, or upgrading to latest React versions.Engineering★ 41.4K
- golang-goplssamber/cc-skills-golangGolang 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`).Security★ 3.5K
- golang-popular-librariessamber/cc-skills-golangGolang library and framework selection — vetted production-ready options by category (web, database, testing, logging, messaging), new and experimental stdlib packages, standard-library-first tradeoffs, and maturity signals (maintenance, license, importer counts). Apply when the user asks for library suggestions, wants to compare alternatives, needs to choose a library for a specific task, or when a new dependency is being added to the project. Not for a specific library's API once chosen (→ See that library's dedicated skill, e.g. `samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-samber-lo`), nor for go.mod mechanics, upgrades, or vulnerability audits (→ See `samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-dependency-management` skill).Security★ 3.5K
- golang-troubleshootingsamber/cc-skills-golangTroubleshoot Golang programs systematically - find and fix the root cause. Use when encountering bugs, crashes, deadlocks, races, or unexpected behavior in Go code. Covers debugging methodology, common Go pitfalls, test-driven debugging, pprof setup and capture, Delve, 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), applying optimization patterns (→ See `samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-performance` skill), or designing new code (→ See `samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-safety` skill for defensive coding, `samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-concurrency` skill for concurrency design).Testing★ 3.5K
