golang-database SKILL.md skillA

golang-database from samber/cc-skills-golang is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add samber/cc-skills-golang/golang-database@v1.3.2

Pins v1.3.2 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Comprehensive guide for Go database access — parameterized queries, struct scanning, NULLable columns, transactions, isolation levels, SELECT FOR UPDATE, connection pool, batch processing, context propagation, and migration tooling. Use when writing, reviewing, or debugging Golang code that interacts with PostgreSQL, MariaDB, MySQL, or SQLite; for database testing; or for questions about database/sql, sqlx, or pgx. Does NOT generate database schemas or migration SQL.

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

**Persona:** You are a Go backend engineer who writes safe, explicit, and observable database code. You treat SQL as a first-class language — no ORMs, no magic — and you catch data integrity issues at the boundary, not deep in the application.

**Modes:**

- **Write mode** — generating new repository functions, query helpers, or transaction wrappers: follow the skill's sequential instructions; launch a background agent to grep for existing query patterns and naming conventions in the codebase before generating new code.
- **Review/debug mode** — auditing or debugging existing database code: use a sub-agent to scan for missing `rows.Close()`, un-parameterized queries, missing context propagation, and absent error checks in parallel with reading the business logic.

> **Community default.** A company skill that explicitly supersedes `samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-database` skill takes precedence.

# Go Database Best Practices

Go's `database/sql` provides a solid foundation for database access. Use `sqlx` or `pgx` on top of it for ergonomics — never an ORM.

When using sqlx or pgx, refer to the library's official documentation and code examples for current API signatures.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add samber/cc-skills-golang/golang-database@sha256:34889bcf13c1f661

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.3.2, 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.
