Is the Golang Dependency Management 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 Dependency Management 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 Dependency Management?

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 Dependency Management 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.

Test report

Verdict: Tested · Works
Score: 9.2/10
Tested: Jul 14, 2026
Environment: Claude Code 2.x (agent harness)
Upstream re-checked: Aug 10, 2026 · 54aa5f1

For a tool-pinning + pre-release-audit task, the skill reached for the modern Go 1.24+ `go get -tool` directive and a govulncheck-gated `-u=patch` upgrade chain, correcting the outdated tools.go blank-import pattern and riskier blanket `-u` upgrade a cold-knowledge baseline defaulted to.

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

What Golang Dependency Management does

Covers go.mod/go.sum management, dependency upgrades (preferring the safer `-u=patch`), govulncheck vulnerability audits, conflict resolution via replace/exclude/retract, go.work workspaces, Dependabot/Renovate setup, and Go 1.24+ tool-pinning via `go get -tool`. Triggers when adding, removing, or upgrading Go dependencies or auditing for vulnerabilities; its built-in agent rule requires asking the user before adding any new dependency.

How to install Golang Dependency Management

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

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