Idiomatic context.Context usage in Golang — propagation through API boundaries, cancellation, timeouts and deadlines, request-scoped values, context.WithoutCancel for background work outliving requests. Apply when designing context propagation across layers, debugging leaked or unexpired contexts, choosing between context.Background/TODO/WithoutCancel, or storing values in context. Not for code that merely accepts ctx as first parameter.
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-context` skill takes precedence. # Go context.Context Best Practices `context.Context` is Go's mechanism for propagating cancellation signals, deadlines, and request-scoped values across API boundaries and between goroutines. Think of it as the "session" of a request — it ties together every operation that belongs to the same unit of work. ## Best Practices Summary 1. Propagate the same context through the entire request lifecycle: HTTP handler → service → DB → external APIs — any link that starts a fresh context keeps working after the client is gone. 2. Take `ctx` as the first parameter, named `ctx context.Context` — the fixed position is what makes context-aware APIs recognizable at a glance and what linters check. 3. Pass context through function parameters instead of storing it in a struct — the struct outlives the request that filled it, so later calls reuse a context that is already cancelled or belongs to someone else. 4. Pass `context.TODO()` rather than a `nil` context — `nil` panics on the first `Done()` or `Value()` call, far from the caller that passed it. …

How to install
mdr add samber/cc-skills-golang/golang-context@sha256:257a3e5a07d686efThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.3.1, 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.
