Description
golang-code-style is an agent skill from the samber cc-skills-golang collection that sets out Go code style conventions for a coding agent. It covers the style rules that need human judgment, since linters handle formatting: line length and where to break lines, variable declarations, control flow clarity, and when comments help and when they hurt. The skill says lines beyond about 120 characters must be broken at semantic boundaries rather than at arbitrary columns, and that function calls with four or more arguments take one argument per line. It follows the Go proverb that clear is better than clever, and it asks that when a rule is ignored, a comment explains why. The skill refers to companion skills for naming, design patterns and struct and interface design, all in the same collection. It also describes an orchestration mode, where an agent fans out sub-agents to review independent style concerns across a large codebase and merges their findings. The skill is listed on skills.sh, where the page shows install counts, GitHub stars and security audit results, all of which pass.…
