Golang Naming is an agent skill (a SKILL.md file) from samber/cc-skills-golang. Go (Golang) naming conventions — covers packages, constructors, structs, interfaces, constants, enums, errors, booleans, receivers, getters/setters, functional options, acronyms, test functions, and. It works with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode and has 3,410 GitHub stars across a repository of 3 listed skills.

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 projectIn 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 projectsStandalone 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 projectsSource (checked Oct 7, 2026): code.claude.com/docs/en/skills (opens in a new tab), support.claude.com/en/articles/12512180-using-skills-in-claude (opens in a new tab), learn.chatgpt.com/docs/build-skills (opens in a new tab), cursor.com/docs/context/skills (opens in a new tab)
What this skill does
Go (Golang) naming conventions — covers packages, constructors, structs, interfaces, constants, enums, errors, booleans, receivers, getters/setters, functional options, acronyms, test functions, and subtest names. 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…

- 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.
