# go-skills-router

This skill maps Go tasks to a primary skill and related ones. Use it when a request spans several areas or you’re unsure which of two overlapping skills fits.

## What it does

go-skills-router is an index for the Go skills in eduardo-sl/go-agent-skills. Its routing table pairs tasks with a primary skill and suggests related skills to load. For example, work involving goroutines can call for context and testing skills as well. The guide also separates diagnosing an existing failure from preventing one.

The index covers areas such as APIs, databases, tests, security, and CI, with notes on topics where skill triggers overlap. It points to other skills rather than replacing them; each listed skill can be read on its own. If a task clearly belongs to one skill, use that skill directly instead of routing through the index.

For Claude Code, run `npx skills add eduardo-sl/go-agent-skills --skill go-skills-router -a claude-code`. The installed file is at `~/.claude/skills/go-skills-router/SKILL.md`.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add eduardo-sl/go-agent-skills --skill go-skills-router -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/go-skills-router/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/go-skills-router/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add eduardo-sl/go-agent-skills --skill go-skills-router -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/go-skills-router/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add eduardo-sl/go-agent-skills --skill go-skills-router -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/go-skills-router/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install eduardo-sl/go-agent-skills go-skills-router
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/go-skills-router/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add eduardo-sl/go-agent-skills --skill go-skills-router -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/eduardo-sl/go-agent-skills --path 'skills/(workflow)/go-skills-router'
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/go-skills-router/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add eduardo-sl/go-agent-skills --skill go-skills-router -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/eduardo-sl/go-agent-skills/tree/HEAD/skills/(workflow)/go-skills-router/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- choose a Go skill when the task scope is unclear
- pick related skills for work spanning several areas
- distinguish between skills with overlapping triggers
- find Go skills to configure for a project

## Example prompts
- Which Go skill should I use to investigate slow code?
- Which skills fit work involving goroutines and tests?
- Help me configure the Go skills for this project.

description: >
  Index and routing table for this repository's Go skills: maps a task to
  the skill that owns it, names the secondary skills worth loading
  alongside, and draws the boundary between skills whose triggers overlap.
  Use when it is unclear which Go skill applies, when a task spans several
  concerns at once, when two skills seem to cover the same ground, or when
  the user asks what Go skills are available or wants a project configured
  to load them. Trigger examples: "which skill should I use", "what Go
  skills do you have", "is this concurrency or performance", "set up the
  Go skills for this repo".
  Not for: a task that already maps cleanly to one skill — load that skill
  directly.

# Go Skills Router

This repository publishes 35 Go skills. Their triggers necessarily overlap —
"this is slow" could be performance, concurrency, database, or a leak. Use the
tables below to pick the owner, then load the secondary skills in the same
pass rather than discovering them one at a time.

This is an index. Every skill it names stands alone and can be read without
this one.

## Routing Table

| Task | Primary | Also load |
|---|---|---|
| Format code, order imports, declare and initialise | `go-coding-standards` | `go-documentation` |
| Name a package, type, function, receiver or error | `go-naming` | `go-coding-standards` |
| Review a diff or a PR | `go-code-review` | the skill owning the domain under review |
| Return, wrap, or inspect errors | `go-error-handling` | `go-defensive-coding` for nil-heavy code |
| Pass deadlines, cancel work | `go-context` | `go-concurrency-review` if goroutines are involved |
| Adopt newer Go features | `go-modernize` | `go-ci` to raise the toolchain in CI |
| Slices, maps, sets, preallocation | `go-data-structures` | `go-performance-review` |
| Write godoc, examples, deprecations, README, CHANGELOG | `go-documentation` | `go-coding-standards` |
| Guard against panics and silent corruption | `go-defensive-coding` | `go-error-handling` |
| Review package layout and dependency direction | `go-architecture-review` | `go-interface-design` |
| Start a new project or service | `go-project-layout` | `go-dependency-injection`, `go-ci` |
| Design an interface or a type | `go-interface-design` | `go-design-patterns` |
| Apply a known pattern | `go-design-patterns` | `go-interface-design` |
| Wire dependencies, remove globals | `go-dependency-injection` | `go-project-layout` |
| Build an HTTP API | `go-api-design` | `go-openapi`, `go-observability` |
