golang-context

Editorial and source context

What this Skill does

Golang Context is a source-indexed Agent Skill for development & engineering work. Based on the SKILL.md description, it focuses on idiomatic context.context usage in golang — propagation through api boundaries, cancellation, timeouts…. Use the linked GitHub file to confirm scope and prerequisites before enabling it.

What the author says

Idiomatic context.Context usage in Golang — propagation through API boundaries, cancellation, timeouts and deadlines, request-scoped values, context.WithoutCancel for background work outliving requests. Apply when designing context propagation across layers, debugging leaked or unexpired contexts, choosing between context.Background/TODO/WithoutCancel, or storing values in context. Not for code that merely accepts ctx as first parameter.

Compatibility and requirements

• Use an agent runtime that supports Agent Skills and the linked SKILL.md format.
• Confirm the source repository's tools, SDKs, and platform prerequisites for api design work.

How to install or import it

• Open the linked GitHub SKILL.md and review its scope and setup instructions.
• Install or import the skill using the agent runtime's documented workflow.
• Run a small, non-sensitive test and verify the output before broader use.

Permissions and risks

• Review every command, file path, network request, dependency, and credential scope before enabling it.
• GitHub stars indicate popularity, not safety or correctness; validate the source and test with non-sensitive data.

Example workflows

• Ask an AI agent to apply Golang Context to api design work described in the source record.
• Have the agent state assumptions, required tools, and expected output before using this development & engineering skill.
• Compare the result with the linked GitHub SKILL.md and verify it against your project requirements.
