How to choose Go skills
The eduardo-sl collection includes a router skill that maps each Go task to the skill that owns it; install the set and start there.
Review skills for concurrency and performance pair well with go-semantic-tools, which uses gopls and go list to navigate large codebases.
Generators for MCP servers and Genkit apps in Go scaffold new projects; check the module versions they pin.
