Idiomatic context.Context usage in Golang — creation, propagation, cancellation, timeouts, deadlines, context values, and cross-service tracing. Apply when working with context.Context in any Go code.
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. The same context MUST be propagated through the entire request lifecycle: HTTP handler → service → DB → external APIs 2. `ctx` MUST be the first parameter, named `ctx context.Context` 3. NEVER store context in a struct — pass explicitly through function parameters 4. NEVER pass `nil` context — use `context.TODO()` if unsure 5. `cancel()` MUST always be deferred immediately after `WithCancel`/`WithTimeout`/`WithDeadline` 6. `context.Background()` MUST only be used at the top level (main, init, tests) 7. **Use `context.TODO()`** as a placeholder when you know a context is needed but don't have one yet 8. NEVER create a new `context.Background()` in the middle of a request path …

How to install
mdr add yzfly/skills/golang-context@sha256:c095b882057ec78dThe 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.
