Is the Golang Code Style skill free?

Yes. The skill itself is free from samber/cc-skills-golang. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.

What is the Golang Code Style SkillProof Score?

9.2/10 — installs cleanly 5/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 8/10, docs & honesty 5/5.

How do I install Golang Code Style?

Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.

Can I use Golang Code Style with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?

The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.

Golang Code Style

Judgment-based Go style rules (control flow, declarations, nesting) linters can't enforce.

Test report

Verdict: Tested · Works
Score: 9.2/10
Tested: Jul 20, 2026
Environment: Claude Code 2.x (agent harness)
Upstream re-checked: Aug 10, 2026 · f0ece7b

Fetched the repo tree (46 SKILL.md skills in a plugin monorepo) and read skills/golang-code-style/SKILL.md plus its referenced references/details.md — both present, frontmatter parses with name+description, no hardcoded paths or exfiltration/base64/curl-pipe patterns. Self-contained prompt guidance; on the refactor task the skill produced three specific wins the baseline missed (default-then-override switch, named booleans, explicit map init to avoid nil-map panic/JSON null), while correctly deferring naming and lint-config queries to sibling skills.

What Golang Code Style does

A prompt-only Go style guide covering the clarity decisions gofmt/linters can't make: early returns, default-then-override switches over else-if chains, named booleans for multi-operand conditions, explicit slice/map initialization, and options structs over long parameter lists. Triggers when writing or reviewing Go code, asking about style/clarity, or setting team coding standards; explicitly defers naming, lint config, and doc comments to sibling skills.

How to install Golang Code Style

Install the plugin (part of samber/cc-skills-golang), or copy skills/golang-code-style/ (SKILL.md + references/details.md) into your .claude/skills/ directory. Pure prompt guidance — no runtime beyond an optional `go` toolchain for linter enforcement.

Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ (per-project). Restart Claude Code after installing.
