golang-performance

by cc-skills-golang

Golang performance optimization patterns and methodology - if X bottleneck, then apply Y. Covers allocation reduction, CPU efficiency, memory layout, GC tuning, pooling, caching, and hot-path optimization. Use when profiling or benchmarks have identified a bottleneck and you need the right optimization pattern to fix it. Also use when performing performance code review to suggest improvements or benchmarks that could help identify quick performance gains. Not for measurement methodology (→ See `samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-benchmark` skill) or debugging workflow (→ See `samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-troubleshooting` skill).

golang-documentationComprehensive documentation guide for Golang projects, covering godoc comments, README, CONTRIBUTING, CHANGELOG, Go Playground, Example tests, API docs, and llms.txt. Use when writing or reviewing doc comments, documentation, adding code examples, setting up doc sites, or discussing documentation best practices. Triggers for both libraries and applications/CLIs.1 installs golang-samber-moMonadic types for Golang using samber/mo — Option, Result, Either, Future, IO, Task, and State types for type-safe nullable values, error handling, and functional composition with pipeline sub-packages. Apply when using or adopting samber/mo, when the codebase imports `github.com/samber/mo`, or when considering functional programming patterns as a safety design for Golang. Not for nil-safety and zero-value design without this library (→ See `samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-safety` skill), nor for native error wrapping with fmt.Errorf, errors.Is and errors.As (→ See `samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-error-handling` skill).1 installs golang-lintLinting best practices and golangci-lint configuration for Golang projects — running linters, configuring .golangci.yml, suppressing warnings with nolint directives, interpreting lint output, and selecting linters. Use when configuring golangci-lint, asking about lint warnings or nolint suppressions, setting up code quality tooling, or choosing linters. Also use when the user mentions golangci-lint, go vet, staticcheck, or revive. Not for wiring a lint step into a GitHub Actions pipeline (→ See `samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-continuous-integration` skill).1 installs golang-project-layoutGolang project layout and workspace setup — cmd/internal/pkg directory conventions, module and package naming, go.work workspaces, and essential configuration files. Use when starting a new Go project, organizing an existing codebase, setting up a monorepo with multiple packages, creating CLI tools with multiple main packages, or discussing package restructuring, package splits, or module splits. Not for restructuring existing code without a layout change (→ See `samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-refactoring` skill).0 installs golang-dependency-managementDependency management for Golang projects — go.mod and go.sum, `go get` install and upgrade flows, Minimal Version Selection, conflict resolution with replace/exclude/retract, `govulncheck` scanning of the module tree, outdated dependency and binary size auditing, vendoring, `tool` directives, and go.work workspaces. Use when adding, removing, or upgrading Go dependencies, deciding whether to take on a package, resolving version conflicts, or auditing what a module pulls in. Covers choosing and upgrading dependency versions, not the surrounding tooling: do NOT use for fixing an exploitable vulnerability in code (→ See `samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-security` skill) or for wiring Dependabot/Renovate update bots into CI workflows (→ See `samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-continuous-integration` skill).0 installs golang-uber-digImplements dependency injection in Golang using uber-go/dig — reflection-based container, Provide/Invoke, dig.In/dig.Out parameter and result objects, named values, value groups, optional dependencies, scopes, and Decorate. Apply when using or adopting uber-go/dig, when the codebase imports `go.uber.org/dig`, or when wiring an application graph at startup. For higher-level lifecycle and modules, see `samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-uber-fx` skill.0 installs

golang-testingProduction-ready Golang tests — table-driven tests, testify suites and mocks, parallel tests, fuzzing, fixtures, goroutine leak detection with goleak, snapshot testing, code coverage, integration tests, idiomatic test naming. Use when writing or reviewing Go tests, choosing a testing approach, setting up Go test CI, or debugging flaky/slow tests. For testify-specific APIs see `samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-stretchr-testify`; for measurement methodology see `samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-benchmark`.2 installs golang-code-styleGolang 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).2 installs golang-benchmarkGolang benchmarking, profiling, and performance measurement. Use when writing, running, or comparing Go benchmarks, profiling hot paths with pprof, interpreting CPU/memory/trace profiles, analyzing results with benchstat, setting up CI benchmark regression detection, or investigating production performance with Prometheus runtime metrics. Also use when the developer needs deep analysis on a specific performance indicator - this skill provides the measurement methodology, while `samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-performance` provides the optimization patterns.2 installs golang-databaseComprehensive guide for Go database access — parameterized queries, struct scanning, NULLable columns, transactions, isolation levels, SELECT FOR UPDATE, connection pool, batch processing, context propagation, and migration tooling. Use when writing, reviewing, or debugging Golang code that interacts with PostgreSQL, MariaDB, MySQL, or SQLite; for database testing; or for questions about database/sql, sqlx, or pgx. Does NOT generate database schemas or migration SQL.2 installs golang-namingGo (Golang) naming conventions — covers packages, constructors, structs, interfaces, constants, enums, errors, booleans, receivers, getters/setters, functional options, acronyms, test functions, and subtest names. Use this skill when writing new Go code, reviewing or refactoring, choosing between naming alternatives (New vs NewTypeName, isConnected vs connected, ErrNotFound vs NotFoundError, StatusReady vs StatusUnknown at iota 0), debating Go package names (utils/helpers anti-patterns), or asking about Go naming best practices. Also trigger when the user mentions MixedCaps vs snake_case, ALL_CAPS constants, Get-prefix on getters, or error string casing. Do NOT use for general Go implementation questions that don't involve naming decisions.1 installs golang-grpcProvides gRPC usage guidelines, protobuf organization, and production-ready patterns for Golang microservices. Use when implementing, reviewing, or debugging gRPC servers/clients, writing proto files, setting up interceptors, handling gRPC errors with status codes, configuring TLS/mTLS, testing with bufconn, or working with streaming RPCs.1 installs
