# cc-skills-golang — AI Coding Tool Review & Pricing

> cc-skills-golang is a collection of Go-specific Agent Skills for production-ready Golang projects from Samuel Berthe, author of samber/lo. The skills were bootstrapped from real Go commits and then edited, tested and reviewed by a human, and are designed as atomic units that cross-reference each other.

## Key features

- 40+ Go skills covering code style, naming, error handling, safety, concurrency, testing, benchmarks, performance, observability and security
- Library skills for gRPC, GraphQL, Swagger, Cobra, Viper, Wire, Dig, Fx, testify and samber/* packages
- Published per-skill token weights and measured error-rate gaps
- Install with npx skills add samber/cc-skills-golang, as a Claude Code plugin or as a Gemini CLI extension

## Pricing

**Model**: Open Source

Free and open source under the MIT license; works with your existing coding agent and model provider.

## Who it is for

- **Best for**: Go developers using Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or other skill-aware agents who want idiomatic, production-grade Go conventions applied automatically.
- **Not ideal for**: Projects outside Go or teams wanting a standalone coding agent, since this is a skills library rather than an agent; general dev-workflow skills live in a separate samber/cc-skills repository.

## Verdict

One of the most thorough Go skill packs for coding agents, with measured impact per skill and a well-known Go maintainer behind it.

## Recent updates

v2.0.0 released on August 20, 2026, with ongoing commits through October 2026 and a spot on GitHub's weekly trending list in late October 2026.
