Comprehensive 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.

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 defines its scope (Golang project documentation), lists specific artifacts and actions, and includes an explicit 'Use when...' clause with natural trigger terms. It distinguishes itself well through Go-specific terminology and covers both the 'what' and 'when' dimensions thoroughly. The description is concise yet comprehensive without unnecessary padding.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | Lists multiple specific concrete actions and artifacts: godoc comments, README, CONTRIBUTING, CHANGELOG, Go Playground, Example tests, API docs, and llms.txt. These are clearly defined documentation types rather than vague references. | 3 / 3 |
Completeness | Clearly answers both 'what' (comprehensive documentation guide covering godoc comments, README, CONTRIBUTING, CHANGELOG, etc.) and 'when' (explicit 'Use when writing or reviewing doc comments, documentation, adding code examples, setting up doc sites, or discussing documentation best practices'). Has an explicit 'Use when...' clause. | 3 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | Includes strong natural keywords users would say: 'doc comments', 'documentation', 'code examples', 'doc sites', 'documentation best practices', 'godoc', 'README', 'CONTRIBUTING', 'CHANGELOG', 'libraries', 'applications/CLIs'. Good coverage of terms a Go developer would naturally use. | 3 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | Clearly scoped to Golang documentation specifically, with distinct triggers like 'godoc', 'Go Playground', 'Example tests', and 'llms.txt'. The combination of Go-specific terminology and documentation focus makes it unlikely to conflict with general documentation or general Go coding skills. | 3 / 3 |

Implementation
72%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, comprehensive Go documentation skill with strong actionability through concrete examples and templates, and excellent progressive disclosure via clearly signaled reference files. Its main weaknesses are moderate verbosity (persona/mode descriptions, some explanatory filler) and a lack of explicit validation checkpoints in the workflow despite documentation being a multi-step process where errors can compound.
Suggestions
Add explicit validation steps (e.g., 'Run `go doc ./...` to verify all exported symbols have comments' or 'Run `godoc -http=:6060` to preview rendering') to improve workflow clarity.
Trim the persona and modes section — Claude doesn't need to be told it's a technical writer, and the mode descriptions add ~80 tokens of marginal value.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The skill is fairly well-organized but includes some unnecessary verbosity — the persona description, mode explanations, and some explanatory text (e.g., 'Good documentation makes code discoverable, understandable, and maintainable') add tokens without teaching Claude anything new. The checklist table and step-by-step structure are efficient, but several sections could be tightened. | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | The skill provides concrete, executable code examples (doc comment format, badge markdown, installation commands), specific templates to copy, exact section ordering for READMEs, and a clear checklist table. The CalculateDiscount doc comment example is fully fleshed out and copy-paste ready. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | The 10-step sequential workflow is clearly numbered and logically ordered, with Step 1 (detect project type) gating subsequent steps. However, there are no explicit validation checkpoints — no 'run go doc to verify comments render correctly' or 'validate README links' steps. The parallelization guidance is helpful but the workflow lacks feedback loops for catching documentation errors. | 2 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | The skill effectively uses progressive disclosure with a clear overview in the main file and well-signaled one-level-deep references to specific files (references/library.md, references/application.md, references/code-comments.md, references/project-docs.md, and template files). Navigation is easy with inline links at the point of relevance. However, since no bundle files were provided, we cannot verify these references exist — but the structure itself is exemplary. | 3 / 3 |
