Add this skill

Claude

Claude Code loads skills from ~/.claude/skills/ (all projects) or .claude/skills/ (one project):

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/samber/cc-skills-golang.git
cp -r cc-skills-golang/skills/golang-naming ~/.claude/skills/golang-naming   # personal, or .claude/skills in a project

In the Claude apps, zip the golang-naming folder and upload it under Customize > Skills > + > Upload a skill (code execution must be on).

ChatGPT / Codex

Codex reads skills from .agents/skills/ in a repo or ~/.agents/skills/ for every project:

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/samber/cc-skills-golang.git
cp -r cc-skills-golang/skills/golang-naming .agents/skills/golang-naming   # repo; ~/.agents/skills for all projects

Standalone skills also load in the ChatGPT desktop app.

Cursor

Cursor loads skills from .cursor/skills/ (or ~/.cursor/skills/) and also reads .claude/skills/:

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/samber/cc-skills-golang.git
cp -r cc-skills-golang/skills/golang-naming .cursor/skills/golang-naming   # project; ~/.cursor/skills for all projects

Use this skill when writing new Go code, reviewing or refactoring, choosing between naming alternatives (New vs NewTypeName, isConnected vs connected, ErrNotFound vs NotFoundError, StatusReady vs StatusUnknown at iota 0), debating Go package names (utils/helpers anti-patterns), or…

When it triggers

  • Use this skill when writing new Go code, reviewing or refactoring, choosing between naming alternatives (New vs NewTypeName, isConnected vs connected, ErrNotFound vs NotFoundError, StatusReady vs StatusUnknown at iota 0), debating Go packag
  • trigger when the user mentions MixedCaps vs snakecase, ALLCAPS constants, Get-prefix on getters, or error string casing.
  • use for general Go implementation questions that don't involve naming decisions.
