golang-backend-development — Claude Code skill: how to install
Supplies your assistant with battle-tested Go architectural guidelines covering goroutines, channels, mutexes, and request cancellation.
npx skills add manutej/luxor-claude-marketplace --skill golang-backend-development -a claude-codeWhat golang-backend-development does
This skill guides the AI in crafting network daemons and backend utilities in Go. It lays down explicit structures for running concurrent units on lightweight runtime-managed threads, passing data via unbuffered or buffered channels, and orchestrating channel inputs with the select statement.
Concurrency coordination relies entirely on standard Go idioms. The documentation covers task coordination using sync.WaitGroup, mutual exclusion with sync.Mutex, and read-heavy workloads managed by sync.RWMutex. In addition, timeout boundaries and request lifecycles are handled through standard context wrappers.
Failing to pass context.Context as the leading parameter breaks cancellation propagation during unexpected client disconnects.
What it helps with
- stream data safely between concurrent routines using Go channels
- enforce timeout deadlines and cancellation signals via
context.Context - coordinate background job completion using
sync.WaitGroup - safeguard shared memory structures against race conditions with
sync.RWMutex
Example prompts for the agent
- Build a Go worker pool that reads from a buffered channel and aborts via
context.Done(). - Implement a thread-safe memory store guarded by
sync.RWMutex. - Write a connection listener loop that assigns incoming network requests to distinct goroutines.

Questions about golang-backend-development
How to install golang-backend-development in Claude Code?
Run npx skills add manutej/luxor-claude-marketplace --skill golang-backend-development -a claude-code in your terminal. The skill file is placed in ~/.claude/skills/golang-backend-development/SKILL.md.
What concurrency models are covered by this skill?
It outlines goroutine orchestration, typed channels, multiplexing through select, and task barriers via sync.WaitGroup.
What rule does the skill set for handling cancellation?
It mandates passing context.Context as the first argument to functions and invoking defer cancel() right after creating any cancelable context.
