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.

Quality
Discovery
100%Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.
This is a strong skill description that clearly articulates specific Go-related capabilities, provides comprehensive trigger terms covering the Go ecosystem, and explicitly states both what the skill does and when to invoke it. The description is well-structured with a capabilities section followed by clear 'Use when' and 'Invoke for' clauses, making it easy for Claude to match against user requests.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | Lists multiple specific concrete actions: implementing concurrent patterns with goroutines/channels, designing microservices with gRPC/REST, optimizing with pprof, enforcing idiomatic Go with generics/interfaces/error handling. | 3 / 3 |
Completeness | Clearly answers both 'what' (concurrent patterns, microservices, performance optimization, idiomatic Go) and 'when' with explicit trigger guidance ('Use when building Go applications requiring...', 'Invoke for goroutines, channels...'). | 3 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | Excellent coverage of natural terms a Go developer would use: goroutines, channels, Go generics, gRPC, REST, microservices, pprof, CLI tools, benchmarks, table-driven testing, concurrent programming, interfaces, error handling. | 3 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | Highly specific to Go language ecosystem with distinct triggers like goroutines, channels, pprof, gRPC, and Go generics. Unlikely to conflict with general programming or other language-specific skills. | 3 / 3 |

Implementation
77%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
This is a solid skill with strong actionability and workflow clarity — the executable Go code example is well-chosen and the workflow includes proper validation gates. The main weaknesses are the missing bundle files that the reference table points to, and some token waste in the knowledge reference keyword dump and introductory description. Overall it provides clear, concrete guidance for Go development tasks.
Suggestions
Remove the 'Knowledge Reference' keyword dump section — it provides no actionable value and wastes tokens.
Create the referenced bundle files (references/concurrency.md, references/interfaces.md, etc.) so the progressive disclosure table actually functions as intended.
Trim the opening description line ('Senior Go developer with deep expertise...') which restates the skill's purpose without adding actionable guidance.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Generally efficient but includes some unnecessary elements: the 'Knowledge Reference' section at the bottom is a keyword dump that adds no value for Claude, the description line at the top restates what the skill does, and the output templates section is somewhat vague. The core code example and constraints are well-justified though. | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | Provides a fully executable, well-commented Go code example demonstrating the core concurrency pattern with context cancellation and error propagation. Constraints are specific and concrete (e.g., 'Run race detector on tests (-race flag)', 'Use fmt.Errorf("%w", err)'). Commands like `go vet ./...` and `golangci-lint run` are explicit. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | The core workflow has a clear 6-step sequence with explicit validation checkpoints: 'run go vet before proceeding', 'fix all reported issues before proceeding', and 'confirm race detector passes before committing'. These are proper feedback loops that gate progression to the next step. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | The reference table with 'Load When' conditions is a well-designed progressive disclosure pattern. However, no bundle files were provided, meaning all five referenced files (references/concurrency.md, etc.) are missing, which undermines the actual utility of the references. The SKILL.md itself is reasonably sized but the code example could arguably live in a reference file. | 2 / 3 |
