Go Docs
Go documentation conventions — a doc comment on every exported function, struct, type, and package, package comments in a dedicated doc.go for multi-file packages, godoc style (complete sentences beginning with the identifier's name), and LLM-ready CLI reference generation for cobra tools via a docgen helper built on cobra/doc. Use when writing or reviewing doc comments or godoc in Go code, adding a doc.go or writing a package comment for a Go package, documenting an exported Go API, package, function, or struct, deciding where a package comment or doc.go belongs, or generating markdown CLI documentation for a cobra-based Go tool. Not for OpenAPI/REST API specs.

From the source SKILL.md
Doc comments are the API's reference manual: godoc, pkg.go.dev, and editors render them, and LLM coding agents read them to learn an API. These rules say where they go and what they look like; for the code itself see the go-style skill.
What this skill does
Go Docs is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the backend sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/go-docs/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
When to invoke it: Use when writing or reviewing doc comments or godoc in Go code, adding a doc.go or writing a package comment for a Go package, documenting an exported Go API, package, function, or struct, deciding where a package comment or doc.

Browse related skills at
/category/engineering/.
What is a Claude Code skill and how does the Go Docs skill fit in?
A Claude Code skill is a
SKILL.md file that lives under
~/.claude/skills/<name>/ and tells the Claude Code CLI agent how to perform a specific task (instructions, prompts, allowed tools). Skills are auto-discovered at session start. Go Docs is one of 67,000+ skills indexed in the open ClaudSkills catalog, classified under the Engineering category. Learn more at
