go-concurrency-patterns
Helps your agent use advanced concurrency features in Go. It's useful for building faster and more efficient programs.
What it does
This tool helps you understand and use concurrency patterns in Go. It teaches you how to perform multiple tasks simultaneously efficiently and safely in your programs.
When to use it
- ✓When building Go programs that need to do multiple things at the same time.
- ✓When you want to organize tasks to run in parallel, like an assembly line.
- ✓To fix errors where parts of your program compete for resources.

How it works
The tool explains how to use 'goroutines' (small processes that run in parallel) and 'channels' (communication pipes) to coordinate these tasks. It also shows how to use synchronization tools to prevent conflicts.
Installation
Easiest way: copy the skill link and paste it into Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor asking it to follow the instructions.

Go Concurrency Patterns
Production patterns for Go concurrency including goroutines, channels, synchronization primitives, and context management.
Use this skill when
- Building concurrent Go applications
- Implementing worker pools and pipelines
- Managing goroutine lifecycles
- Using channels for communication
- Debugging race conditions
- Implementing graceful shutdown
Do not use this skill when
- The task is unrelated to go concurrency patterns
- You need a different domain or tool outside this scope
Instructions
- Clarify goals, constraints, and required inputs.
- Apply relevant best practices and validate outcomes.
- Provide actionable steps and verification.
- If detailed examples are required, open
resources/implementation-playbook.md.
Resources
resources/implementation-playbook.mdfor detailed patterns and examples.
Limitations
- Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
- Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
- Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.
FAQ
What are 'goroutines'?
'Goroutines' are like functions that can run at the same time as other functions, without waiting for them to finish. They are lightweight and allow your program to do multiple things simultaneously.
What are 'channels' used for?
'Channels' are like pipes through which 'goroutines' can send and receive data from each other. They are essential for safe communication between tasks running in parallel.
What are 'synchronization primitives'?
These are tools that help control access to resources shared by multiple 'goroutines', preventing them from interfering with each other and causing errors (race conditions).
