Continuously modernize Golang code to use the latest language features, standard library improvements, and idiomatic patterns. Use this skill whenever writing, reviewing, or refactoring Go code to ensure it leverages modern Go idioms. Also use when the user asks about Go upgrades, migration, modernization, deprecation, or when modernize linter reports issues. Also covers tooling modernization: linters, SAST, AI-powered code review in CI, and modern development practices. Trigger this 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.

**Modes:**

- **Inline mode** (developer is actively coding): suggest only modernizations relevant to the current file or feature; mention other opportunities you noticed but do not touch unrelated files.
- **Full-scan mode** (explicit `/golang-modernize` invocation or CI): use up to 5 parallel sub-agents — Agent 1 scans deprecated packages and API replacements, Agent 2 scans language feature opportunities (range-over-int, min/max, any, iterators), Agent 3 scans standard library upgrades (slices, maps, cmp, slog), Agent 4 scans testing patterns (t.Context, b.Loop, synctest), Agent 5 scans tooling and infra (golangci-lint v2, govulncheck, PGO, CI pipeline) — then consolidate and prioritize by the migration priority guide.

# Go Code Modernization Guide

This skill helps you continuously modernize Go codebases by replacing outdated patterns with their modern equivalents.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add omarluq/librecode/golang-modernize@sha256:3021c0ce29aee2cb

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.1.3, 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.
