Conventional Commits v1.0.0 branch naming, worktree naming, and commit message standards for GitHub and GitLab projects. Use when creating branches, naming worktrees, writing commits, generating commit messages, reviewing branch conventions, or setting up changelog automation. Apply when your project needs consistent git history, SemVer-driven releases, parseable changelog generation, or automatic issue closing. Trigger when the user asks how to name a worktree, create a git worktree, or organize worktrees alongside branches.
Deep research skill โ broad parallel web searches, multi-source validation, confidence tracking, cited Markdown report. Supports 11 research types: market (TAM/SAM, segments, pricing, trends), domain (industry structure, ecosystem, regulatory landscape), technical (architecture, tools, benchmarks), competitive (competitor teardown, positioning, win/loss), product (feature analysis, reviews, roadmap signals), academic (literature survey, citation networks, key authors), person/org (due diligence on a company or public figure), financial (funding rounds, valuation multiples, revenue signals), legal (IP, patents, litigation, compliance), trend (emerging signals, foresight, scenario mapping), community (ecosystem health, key voices, governance, fragmentation). Use when asked to: 'research <topic>', 'deep dive on X', 'analyze the landscape', 'competitive analysis', 'compare these options', 'who are the players in Z', 'literature review', 'background on Y', 'what papers exist on X', 'product teardown', 'technology
Golang benchmarking, profiling, and performance measurement. Use when writing, running, or comparing Go benchmarks, profiling hot paths with pprof, interpreting CPU/memory/trace profiles, analyzing results with benchstat, setting up CI benchmark regression detection, or investigating production performance with Prometheus runtime metrics. Also use when the developer needs deep analysis on a specific performance indicator - this skill provides the measurement methodology, while golang-performance provides the optimization patterns.
Golang CLI application development. Use when building, modifying, or reviewing a Go CLI tool โ especially for command structure, flag handling, configuration layering, version embedding, exit codes, I/O patterns, signal handling, shell completion, argument validation, and CLI unit testing. Also triggers when code uses cobra, viper, or urfave/cli.
Golang code style, formatting and conventions. Use when writing code, reviewing style, configuring linters, writing comments, or establishing project standards.
Golang concurrency patterns. Use when writing or reviewing concurrent Go code involving goroutines, channels, select, locks, sync primitives, errgroup, singleflight, worker pools, or fan-out/fan-in pipelines. Also triggers when you detect goroutine leaks, race conditions, channel ownership issues, or need to choose between channels and mutexes.
Idiomatic context.Context usage in Golang โ creation, propagation, cancellation, timeouts, deadlines, context values, and cross-service tracing. Apply when working with context.Context in any Go code.
Provides CI/CD pipeline configuration using GitHub Actions for Golang projects. Covers testing, linting, SAST, security scanning, code coverage, Dependabot, Renovate, GoReleaser, code review automation, and release pipelines. Use this whenever setting up CI for a Go project, configuring workflows, adding linters or security scanners, setting up Dependabot or Renovate, automating releases, or improving an existing CI pipeline. Also use when the user wants to add quality gates to their Go project.
