go-data-structures
From the author
Use 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).

- golang-data-structuressamber/cc-skills-golangGolang data structures — slices (internals, capacity growth, preallocation, slices package), maps (internals, hash buckets, maps package), arrays, container/list/heap/ring, strings.Builder vs bytes.Buffer, generic collections, pointers (unsafe.Pointer, weak.Pointer), and copy semantics. Use when choosing or optimizing Go data structures, implementing generic containers, using container/ packages, unsafe or weak pointers, or questioning slice/map internals. Not for applying optimization patterns once profiling has identified a bottleneck (→ See `samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-performance` skill).Marketing★ 3.6K
- go-declarationscxuu/golang-skillsUse 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).Design★ 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-contextcxuu/golang-skillsUse when working with context.Context in Go — placement in signatures, propagating cancellation and deadlines, and storing values in context vs parameters. Also use when cancelling long-running operations, setting timeouts, or passing request-scoped data, even if they don't mention context.Context directly. Does not cover goroutine lifecycle or sync primitives (see go-concurrency).Productivity★ 181
- 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-loggingcxuu/golang-skillsUse when choosing a logging approach, configuring slog, writing structured log statements, or deciding log levels in Go. Also use when setting up production logging, adding request-scoped context to logs, or migrating from log to slog, even if the user doesn't explicitly mention logging. Does not cover error handling strategy (see go-error-handling).Writing★ 181
