The complete Go development skill. REQUIRED for ALL Go work — writing, refactoring, reviewing, generating, scaffolding, or discussing Go code, including any change to .go files. Use whenever the user mentions Go, Golang, go.mod, a Go package, or asks to build a Go backend service, CLI, library, script, MCP server (Model Context Protocol), or AI/LLM agent with tool calling or ReAct-style reasoning. Routes by project type to the right architecture, conventions, and review checklist. Also gates…

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

# Go Ultimate Skill

A single, opinionated skill for writing the best Go programs — synthesized from
four general-Go skills, four agent/MCP donors (one donor, eino, contributes two
documents), the Google and Uber style guides, and a repository/production-practice
donor. Opinions represent the synthesized consensus; where the donors disagreed,
this skill resolved the conflict per the precedence ladder below.

## When this skill applies

**Always**, for any Go work: code generation, refactoring, code review,
architecture and style discussions, scaffolding, or any change to `.go` files.

It overrides generic Go style/lint guidance when they conflict.

## Setup — resolving `<skill-dir>`

Several instructions in this skill reference `<skill-dir>` — the absolute path to
this installed skill directory. Resolve it once per session.

**Primary rule:** `<skill-dir>` is the directory containing this `SKILL.md`.
That always works, regardless of how the skill was installed. The bundled
detector is at `<skill-dir>/scripts/goversion/main.go`; the templates are at
`<skill-dir>/assets/`.

This skill ships a manifest for each supported harness (see the repo root), so it

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add djarvur/go-ultimate/go-ultimate@sha256:49673b174df25441

The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.15.0, 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.
