Description
golang-naming is an agent skill from the samber cc-skills-golang collection that sets out Go naming conventions for a coding agent. Go favours short, readable names, and capitalisation controls visibility, so uppercase names are exported and lowercase names are not. The skill's central rule is that identifiers use MixedCaps and never underscores. It covers the naming of packages, constructors, structs, interfaces, constants, enums, errors, booleans, method receivers, getters and setters, and functional options. Its guiding quotes come from the Go proverbs, including that clear is better than clever, and that the architecture should be designed and the components named while the details are documented. The skill says that when you want to ignore a rule, you add a comment to the code explaining why. A quick reference section sums up the rules, and the skill points to its companion skills for related topics. It is listed on skills.sh, where the page shows install counts, GitHub stars and security audit results, which all pass. Install it with npx skills add https://github.com/samber/cc-skills-golang --skill golang-naming.…
