golang-pkg-go-dev

Golang package and module lookup via `godig`, a pkg.go.dev API client (CLI + MCP server). Use for any Go/Golang library's documentation, API signatures, symbols, usage examples, which versions exist, licenses, whether a dependency has CVEs, or who imports a package — prefer this over Context7 for any Go package or module. Read-only, no auth. Not for upgrading dependencies (→ See `samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-dependency-management` skill), choosing a library (→ See `samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-popular-libraries` skill), or local symbols and an already-used dependency's resolved source, call sites, and generic instantiations (→ See `samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-gopls` skill).

Quality

Content

82%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

A strong, highly actionable reference for the godig CLI: executable commands, clear structure, and proper offloading of LARGE outputs to a one-level reference. The main weaknesses are mild verbosity in two prose paragraphs and a large amount of inline reference detail that could be further split out.

Suggestions

Trim the 'Parallelize independent lookups' tip and the 'Choosing between godig, gopls, Context7, and govulncheck' paragraph to essentials — the cross-skill matrix is already referenced and partly duplicates the description.

Move the per-command filter field table and/or the bulk of the Examples block into a one-level reference file, keeping only the most representative examples inline in SKILL.md.

Add a brief explicit recovery note beyond exit-code identification (e.g., on exit 1 confirm the path with `overview`; on exit 2 consult `<cmd> --help` for the offending flag) to strengthen workflow checkpoints.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

Mostly lean reference material (dense command table, copy-paste examples), but the 'Parallelize independent lookups' tip and the 'Choosing between godig, gopls, Context7, and govulncheck' paragraph are verbose and partly restate the description. Not a 5 because a few paragraphs could be trimmed; not a 3 because the bulk is efficient and assumes Claude's competence.

4 / 5

Actionability

Fully executable, copy-paste-ready commands throughout: a complete command table with args/flags/purpose, global flags, exit codes, and an Examples block covering overview, search, package/module facets, single-symbol, lists, version pinning, build context, and vulns.

5 / 5

Workflow Clarity

Clear sequencing guidance ('Start with overview', prefer 'symbol doc' over package-wide, parallelize) plus an error checkpoint (exit 2 distinguishes malformed calls from failed lookups). Not a 5 because there is no explicit validate/recovery loop, though that is reasonable for a read-only lookup tool.

4 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

Well-organized into clear sections with one well-signaled one-level-deep reference (sample-output.md for LARGE outputs). Not a 5 because substantial reference content — the full command table, per-command filter field tables, and the extensive Examples block — lives inline rather than being split into reference files.

Description

100%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

An excellent description: concrete, comprehensive, third-person, with explicit 'Use for' triggers and clear 'Not for' boundaries that disambiguate it from sibling skills. Every dimension lands at the top anchor.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Lists multiple concrete actions — 'documentation, API signatures, symbols, usage examples, which versions exist, licenses, whether a dependency has CVEs, or who imports a package' — giving comprehensive coverage of the tool's capabilities.

5 / 5

Completeness

Explicitly answers both what ('Golang package and module lookup via godig, a pkg.go.dev API client') and when ('Use for any Go/Golang library's...') with concrete trigger phrases plus explicit 'Not for...' boundary guidance.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Covers natural terms users would say (docs, symbols, versions, licenses, CVEs, who imports) with synonyms (Go/Golang, imports/importers) and a concrete tool name, matching the comprehensive-synonym anchor.

5 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Clear niche (pkg.go.dev ecosystem lookup) with explicit disambiguation from Context7, gopls, govulncheck, dependency-management, and popular-libraries skills, minimizing conflict risk.
