go-declarations
From the author
Use when declaring or initializing Go variables, constants, structs, or maps — including var vs :=, reducing scope with if-init, formatting composite literals, designing iota enums, and using any instead of interface{}. Also use when writing a new struct or const block, even if the user doesn't ask about declaration style. Does not cover naming conventions (see go-naming).

Closest to this one by what they do and when they are used.
- go-genericscxuu/golang-skillsUse when deciding whether to use Go generics, writing generic functions or types, choosing constraints, or picking between type aliases and type definitions. Also use when a user is writing a utility function that could work with multiple types, even if they don't mention generics explicitly. Does not cover interface design without generics (see go-interfaces).Design★ 181
- go-functionscxuu/golang-skillsUse when organizing functions within a Go file, formatting function signatures, designing return values, or following Printf-style naming conventions. Also use when a user is adding or refactoring any Go function, even if they don't mention function design or signature formatting. Does not cover functional options constructors (see go-functional-options).Design★ 181
- go-control-flowcxuu/golang-skillsUse when writing conditionals, loops, or switch statements in Go — including if with initialization, early returns, for loop forms, range, switch, type switches, and blank identifier patterns. Also use when writing a simple if/else or for loop, even if the user doesn't mention guard clauses or variable scoping. Does not cover error flow patterns (see go-error-handling).Writing★ 181
- go-packagescxuu/golang-skillsUse when creating Go packages, organizing imports, managing dependencies, or deciding how to structure Go code into packages. Also use when starting a new Go project or splitting a growing codebase into packages, even if the user doesn't explicitly ask about package organization. Does not cover naming individual identifiers (see go-naming).Engineering★ 181
- go-data-structurescxuu/golang-skillsUse when working with Go slices, maps, or arrays — choosing between new and make, using append, declaring empty slices (nil vs literal for JSON), implementing sets with maps, and copying data at boundaries. Also use when building or manipulating collections, even if the user doesn't ask about allocation idioms. Does not cover concurrent data structure safety (see go-concurrency).Other★ 181
- golang-structs-interfacessamber/cc-skills-golangGolang struct and interface design patterns — composition, embedding, type assertions, type switches, interface segregation, dependency injection via interfaces, struct field tags, and pointer vs value receivers. Use this skill when designing Go types, defining or implementing interfaces, embedding structs or interfaces, writing type assertions or type switches, adding struct field tags for JSON/YAML/DB serialization, or choosing between pointer and value receivers. Also use when the user asks about "accept interfaces, return structs", compile-time interface checks, or composing small interfaces into larger ones.Design★ 3.6K
