Comprehensive guide for Go database access

golang-database is an agent skill from the samber cc-skills-golang collection that guides a coding agent in writing safe, explicit and observable database code in Go. It treats SQL as a first-class language and avoids ORMs, favouring database/sql, with sqlx or pgx on top for ergonomics. The skill covers parameterised queries, struct scanning, nullable columns, transactions, isolation levels and SELECT FOR UPDATE, and it asks the agent to catch data integrity issues at the boundary of the code rather than deep in the application. It has two modes. Write mode generates repository functions, query helpers and transaction wrappers, following the skill's steps and checking the codebase for existing query patterns and naming first. Review and debug mode audits existing database code for problems such as rows that are never closed, queries built by string concatenation rather than parameters, missing context propagation and unchecked errors. The skill says to consult the official documentation of sqlx or pgx for current API signatures, since those libraries change. It is listed on skills.sh, where the page shows install counts, GitHub stars and security audit results, all passing.
