What it does

When you ask the agent to write, review or refactor Go code, this skill gives it a set of Go best practices to follow. It covers keeping code simple, wrapping errors with context, using context for timeouts and cancellation, safe goroutine patterns such as worker pools and errgroup, graceful server shutdown, and small focused interfaces. The guidance is written in Spanish and the examples are Go code snippets; the file is text only and contains no scripts.

Great for

  • Developers writing or reviewing Go services and libraries
  • Teams who want consistent Go style from an AI assistant
  • Spanish-speaking Go learners who want examples in their language

Skip it if

  • Non-Go projects, since the patterns are specific to Go (the skill will not help with other languages)
  • Production-critical code without human review, because the snippets are illustrative and the agent may apply them imperfectly

Try asking

  • “Revisa este handler HTTP en Go y sugiere mejoras de manejo de errores”
  • “Refactoriza este paquete para usar interfaces pequeñas”
  • “Escribe un worker pool en Go con cancelación por context”
  • “Explícame cómo evitar goroutine leaks en este código”

    Ask for the task

    No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.

Get better results

  • Ask for a specific task (review, refactor, write) so the agent applies the relevant section
  • Mention your Go version and libraries, since some examples use golang.org/x/sync/errgroup
  • Review generated concurrency code with the race detector (go test -race) before relying on it
