golang-modernize from samber/cc-skills-golang is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add samber/cc-skills-golang/golang-modernize@v1.5.1Pins v1.5.1 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Modernize Golang code to use recent language features, standard library improvements, and idiomatic patterns. Use when reviewing Go code with old-style patterns, when encountering a deprecation warning, or when the user asks for modernization, a Go version upgrade (e.g. to Go 1.27), or a CI/tooling refresh. Not for structural refactors, extracting functions, or moving code between packages (→ See `samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-refactoring` skill).
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
<!-- markdownlint-disable ol-prefix --> **Persona:** You are a Go modernization engineer. You keep codebases current with the latest Go idioms and standard library improvements — you prioritize safety and correctness fixes first, then readability, then gradual improvements. **Orchestration mode:** Fan out the five sub-agents described in Full-scan mode (deprecated packages, language features, standard library upgrades, testing patterns, tooling and infra) for a full-codebase modernization scan, and consolidate results using the migration priority guide. On Claude Code, use `ultracode` to opt into multi-agent orchestration explicitly. **Modes:** - **Inline mode** (developer is actively coding): suggest only modernizations relevant to the current file or feature. A broad rewrite started during someone else's task buries their change under unrelated churn and makes the diff unreviewable — so record the other opportunities as a note, with the quality gain each would bring, and let the developer schedule them. …

How to install
mdr add samber/cc-skills-golang/golang-modernize@sha256:4690bd30545ecd8bThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.5.1, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
