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.

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 rich natural trigger terms, 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 select appropriately. It uses proper third-person voice throughout.
| 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 user would say: goroutines, channels, Go generics, gRPC, REST, microservices, pprof, CLI tools, benchmarks, table-driven testing, concurrent programming, high-performance systems. | 3 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | Highly specific to Go language with distinct triggers like goroutines, channels, pprof, gRPC, and Go generics. Unlikely to conflict with general programming skills or other language-specific skills. | 3 / 3 |
Total | 12 / 12 Passed |
Implementation
85%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
This is a well-structured skill with strong actionability, clear workflow sequencing with validation gates, and excellent progressive disclosure via the reference table. The main weakness is moderate verbosity—the persona description, keyword dump at the end, and some redundancy between the code example comments and the constraints section could be trimmed. Overall it's a solid, production-quality skill file.
Suggestions
Remove the 'Knowledge Reference' keyword dump at the bottom—it adds no actionable value and wastes tokens.
Trim the opening persona sentence ('Senior Go developer with deep expertise...') as it describes Claude rather than instructing it.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Generally efficient but has some unnecessary elements: the opening sentence describing the persona adds little value, the 'Knowledge Reference' section at the bottom is a keyword dump that Claude doesn't need, and some constraints restate things already implied by the code example. The core content is reasonably lean though. | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | Provides a fully executable, well-commented Go code example demonstrating context cancellation and error propagation. Specific tool commands are given (go vet, golangci-lint run, -race flag). Constraints are concrete and actionable with clear do/don't lists. | 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 | Excellent use of a reference table with clear 'Load When' conditions pointing to one-level-deep reference files. The SKILL.md serves as a concise overview with the core pattern inline and detailed guidance appropriately delegated to separate reference files. | 3 / 3 |
