golang-dependency-management
Dependency management strategies for Golang projects — go.mod management, installing/upgrading packages, Minimal Version Selection, vulnerability scanning, outdated dependency tracking, binary size analysis, Dependabot/Renovate setup, conflict resolution, and go.work workspaces. Use when adding, removing, or upgrading Go dependencies, auditing vulnerabilities, resolving version conflicts, or setting up automated dependency updates.

Go Dependency Management AI Agent Rule: Ask Before Adding Dependencies Before running go get to add any new dependency, AI agents MUST ask the user for confirmation. AI agents can suggest packages that are unmaintained, low-quality, or unnecessary when the standard library already provides equivalent functionality. Using go get -u to upgrade an existing dependency is safe. Before proposing a dependency, evaluate: Does the standard library already cover the use case? Is the license compatible? Are there well-known alternatives? What it does and why it's needed? The samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-popular-libraries skill contains a curated list of vetted, production-ready libraries. Prefer recommending packages from that list. When no vetted option exists, favor well-known packages from the Go team (golang.org/x/...) or established organizations over obscure alternatives.
