golang-samber-mo

Monadic types for Golang using samber/mo — Option, Result, Either, Future, IO, Task, and State types for type-safe nullable values, error handling, and functional composition with pipeline sub-packages. Apply when using or adopting samber/mo, when the codebase imports `github.com/samber/mo`, or when considering functional programming patterns as a safety design for Golang.

Content

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 strong, well-structured skill that provides concrete, executable guidance for using samber/mo in Go. Its main strengths are excellent actionability with real code examples and clear decision guidance (Result vs Either, direct methods vs sub-packages). The primary weakness is moderate verbosity — the skill could be tighter by moving some patterns to reference files and trimming analogies/explanations that Claude doesn't need.

Suggestions

Move the 'Common Patterns' section to a reference file (e.g., references/patterns.md) and link to it from the main skill to reduce the overview's length

Trim the 'Think of it as...' column from the type table — Claude already knows Rust's Option, Java's Optional, etc.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The skill is generally well-structured and avoids explaining basic Go concepts, but includes some unnecessary framing (e.g., the 'Think of it as...' column with analogies Claude already knows, the persona section, and some verbose explanations like 'Go limitation' that could be tighter). The type table and cross-references add bulk but are mostly useful.

2 / 3

Actionability

The skill provides fully executable, copy-paste-ready Go code examples throughout — Option creation, Result wrapping, Either pattern matching, Do notation, pipeline sub-packages, JSON structs, database scanning, and map lookups. Each code block is concrete and complete with imports shown.

3 / 3

Workflow Clarity

For a library-usage skill (not a destructive/batch operation), the workflow is clear: the skill explains when to use direct methods vs sub-package functions, provides a clear decision rule ('Rule of thumb'), and the Do notation section clearly explains the imperative-to-monadic bridge. The 'Best Practices' section provides a clear sequencing guide (TupleToResult at boundaries, chain inside domain logic).

3 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

The skill references multiple sub-files (references/option.md, references/result.md, references/either.md, references/pipelines.md, references/advanced-types.md, references/monads-guide.md) with clear signaling, which is good structure. However, no bundle files were provided, so we cannot verify these references exist. The main file itself is quite long (~200+ lines) and some content (like the full Common Patterns section) could arguably be in a reference file to keep the overview leaner.

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 an excellent skill description that clearly identifies the specific library (samber/mo), enumerates concrete types and capabilities, and provides explicit trigger guidance via an 'Apply when' clause. It uses proper third-person voice and includes both the library name and import path as natural trigger terms, making it highly distinguishable from other skills.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Lists multiple specific concrete types (Option, Result, Either, Future, IO, Task, State) and concrete use cases (type-safe nullable values, error handling, functional composition with pipeline sub-packages). Very specific about the library and its capabilities.

3 / 3

Completeness

Clearly answers both 'what' (monadic types for Golang — Option, Result, Either, etc. for type-safe nullable values, error handling, and functional composition) and 'when' (explicit 'Apply when' clause covering using/adopting samber/mo, when codebase imports the package, or when considering functional programming patterns for Go).

3 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

Includes excellent natural trigger terms: 'samber/mo', 'Golang', 'Option', 'Result', 'Either', 'Future', 'IO', 'Task', 'State', 'functional programming', 'github.com/samber/mo', 'monadic types', 'nullable values', 'error handling'. These cover both the library name, import path, and conceptual terms users would naturally use.

3 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Highly distinctive — targets a specific Go library (samber/mo) with specific monadic types. Very unlikely to conflict with other skills since it names the exact library, import path, and niche functional programming domain within Go.
