golang-documentation

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.

Quality

Content

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, comprehensive Go documentation skill with strong actionability and excellent progressive disclosure. The 10-step workflow provides clear sequencing with a useful project-type detection gate. The main weaknesses are moderate verbosity in the writing principles section and some filler content that explains concepts Claude already understands, though overall token efficiency is reasonable for the breadth of coverage.

Suggestions

Trim the 'Writing Principles' section — Claude already knows not to use marketing language or hollow transitions; reduce to a concise bullet list of the Go-specific anti-patterns only.

Remove filler statements like 'a clear, well-structured documentation helps AI agents understand your project quickly' from Step 9 that add no actionable information.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The skill is generally well-structured but includes some unnecessary verbosity — the 'Writing Principles' section explains concepts Claude already knows (what good documentation is), and some sections like 'AI-Friendly Documentation' contain filler statements ('a clear, well-structured documentation helps AI agents understand your project quickly'). The persona and modes preamble also adds tokens without much actionable value.

2 / 3

Actionability

The skill provides concrete, executable guidance throughout: the CalculateDiscount doc comment example is complete and copy-paste ready, badge markdown is templated with placeholders, installation commands are specific, and the checklist table gives clear required/recommended guidance. Code examples are real Go code, not pseudocode.

3 / 3

Workflow Clarity

The 10-step sequential workflow is clearly numbered and logically ordered (detect project type → checklist → doc comments → README → CONTRIBUTING/changelog → library-specific → application-specific → API → AI-friendly → delivery). Step 1 determines what subsequent steps apply, and the checklist in Step 2 provides a clear priority-ordered validation checkpoint. The parallelization guidance for sub-agents adds practical workflow structure.

3 / 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: code-comments.md, library.md, application.md, project-docs.md, and template files. Each reference is contextually placed at the relevant step with descriptive labels. However, since no bundle files were provided, we cannot verify these references exist, but the structure itself is exemplary.

Description

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 explicit trigger guidance. It uses third-person voice appropriately and covers both the 'what' and 'when' dimensions well. The mention of both libraries and applications/CLIs further clarifies its broad applicability within the Go ecosystem.

DimensionReasoningScore

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 Golang specificity and documentation focus create a clear niche that is unlikely to conflict with general coding skills or documentation skills for other languages.
