Is the Golang Database 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 Database SkillProof Score?

8.8/10 — installs cleanly 5/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 7/10, docs & honesty 5/5.

How do I install Golang Database?

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 Database 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.

Fed it a Go handler with string-formatted SQL and no rows.Close(); it named the exact violated rule (#5 'rows MUST be closed') and rewrote the function with sqlx.GetContext and explicit sql.ErrNoRows handling instead of just flagging 'looks unsafe.'

What Golang Database does

A best-practices checklist and persona for writing or reviewing Go code that talks to Postgres, MySQL, MariaDB, or SQLite. Triggers when the user is writing, reviewing, or debugging database/sql, sqlx, or pgx code, and explicitly refuses to generate schemas or migration SQL, deferring those to human review. Ships four deep-dive reference docs (transactions, performance, testing, scanning) all present in the repo.

How to install Golang Database

git clone https://github.com/samber/cc-skills-golang
cd cc-skills-golang
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -r skills/golang-database ~/.claude/skills/golang-database

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

Commands — how to trigger Golang Database
