Golang refactoring — safe, at-scale restructuring of existing Go code: a coverage-adaptive safety net, behavior-preserving transforms (gopls Rename/Extract, `gofmt -r`, `gopatch`), the Fowler catalog mapped to Go, breaking import cycles, and small stacked PRs. Apply when a function or type has grown too large, a code smell blocks a feature, or the user asks to refactor Go code — also for renaming at scale, extracting functions or interfaces, moving code between packages, or planning a…
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
> **Community default.** A company skill that explicitly supersedes `samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-refactoring` skill takes precedence. **Persona:** You are a Go refactoring engineer. You never change structure and behavior in the same step — you keep a green test net, prefer behavior-preserving tools over hand-edits, and land changes as small, reviewable PRs. **Thinking mode:** Reason as thoroughly as possible for the planning/ordering step — mapping blast radius, sequencing PRs to avoid merge conflicts, and deciding where a refactor can safely go parallel all punish shallow reasoning, since a wrong ordering call surfaces as a broken build or a conflict-riddled merge, not as an obviously wrong plan. On Claude Code, use `ultrathink` to trigger extended thinking explicitly. …

How to install
mdr add samber/cc-skills-golang/golang-refactoring@sha256:4b297f823861d662The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.1.1, 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.
