Perform language and framework specific security best-practice reviews and suggest improvements. Trigger only when the user explicitly requests security best practices guidance, a security review/report, or secure-by-default coding help. Trigger only for supported languages (python, javascript/typescript, go). Do not trigger for general code review, debugging, or non-security tasks.

Use when building or maintaining a personal LLM-powered knowledge base. Triggers: ingesting sources into a wiki, querying wiki knowledge, linting wiki quality, 'add to wiki', 'what do I know about', or any mention of 'LLM wiki' or 'Karpathy wiki'.

Linting best practices and golangci-lint configuration for Golang projects — running linters, configuring .golangci.yml, suppressing warnings with nolint directives, interpreting lint output, and selecting linters. Use when configuring golangci-lint, asking about lint warnings or nolint suppressions, setting up code quality tooling, or choosing linters. Also use when the user mentions golangci-lint, go vet, staticcheck, or revive.

Systematically verifies suspected security bugs to eliminate false positives. Produces TRUE POSITIVE or FALSE POSITIVE verdicts with documented evidence for each bug.

Analyzes code diffs and files to identify bugs, security vulnerabilities (SQL injection, XSS, insecure deserialization), code smells, N+1 queries, naming issues, and architectural concerns, then produces a structured review report with prioritized, actionable feedback. Use when reviewing pull requests, conducting code quality audits, identifying refactoring opportunities, or checking for security issues. Invoke for PR reviews, code quality checks, refactoring suggestions, review code, code quality. Complements specialized skills (security-reviewer, test-master) by providing broad-scope review across correctness, performance, maintainability, and test coverage in a single pass.

Deep interview process to transform vague ideas into detailed specs. Works for technical and non-technical users.

Run a pre-submission compliance check against your Shopify app's codebase. Reviews App Store requirements and surfaces likely issues before you submit for official review.

Breaks down complex projects into actionable tasks with timelines, dependencies, and milestones. Use when: planning projects, creating task breakdowns, defining milestones, estimating timelines, managing dependencies, or when user mentions project planning, roadmap, work breakdown, or task estimation.

Structured roundtable discussion framework with a truth-seeking moderator who invites representative figures for dialectical debate on any topic. Use when user says "圆桌讨论", "圆桌", "roundtable", "辩论", or wants to explore a topic through multi-perspective structured debate.

Deploy and manage services on the Elestio DevOps platform. Use when the user wants to deploy apps, databases, or infrastructure on Elestio, manage projects, services, CI/CD pipelines, backups, domains, firewall, volumes, or billing. Covers 400+ open-source templates across 9 cloud providers.

Expo / React Native patterns with Clerk — SecureStore token cache, OAuth deep linking, useAuth in native, Expo Router protected routes, push notifications with user context. Triggers on: expo clerk, clerk react native, SecureStore token cache, expo router auth, OAuth deep link clerk, mobile auth clerk.

Golang everyday observability — the always-on signals in production. Covers structured logging with slog, Prometheus metrics, OpenTelemetry distributed tracing, continuous profiling with pprof/Pyroscope, server-side RUM event tracking, alerting, and Grafana dashboards. Apply when instrumenting Go services for production monitoring, setting up metrics or alerting, adding OpenTelemetry tracing, correlating logs with traces, migrating legacy loggers (zap/logrus/zerolog) to slog, adding observability to new features, or implementing GDPR/CCPA-compliant tracking with Customer Data Platforms (CDP). Not for temporary deep-dive performance investigation (→ See `samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-benchmark` and `samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-performance` skills).

Implement Clerk authentication for native Android apps using Kotlin and Jetpack Compose with clerk-android source-guided patterns. Use for prebuilt AuthView/UserButton or custom API-driven auth flows. Do not use for Expo or React Native projects.

Modernize Golang code to use recent language features, standard library improvements, and idiomatic patterns. Trigger proactively when writing or reviewing Go code and old-style patterns are detected, or when encountering a deprecation warning. Also use when the user explicitly asks for modernization, a Go version upgrade, or a CI/tooling refresh.

Provides a guide for setting up Golang project layouts and workspaces. Use when starting a new Go project, organizing an existing codebase, setting up a monorepo with multiple packages, creating CLI tools with multiple main packages, deciding between cmd/internal/pkg directory conventions, or discussing package restructuring, package splits, or module splits.

Troubleshoot Golang programs systematically - find and fix the root cause. Use when encountering bugs, crashes, deadlocks, or unexpected behavior in Go code. Covers debugging methodology, common Go pitfalls, test-driven debugging, pprof setup and capture, Delve debugger, race detection, GODEBUG tracing, and production debugging. Start here for any 'something is wrong' situation. Not for interpreting profiles or benchmarking (→ See `samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-benchmark` skill) or applying optimization patterns (→ See `samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-performance` skill).

Use when building high-performance async Python APIs with FastAPI and Pydantic V2. Invoke to create REST endpoints, define Pydantic models, implement authentication flows, set up async SQLAlchemy database operations, add JWT authentication, build WebSocket endpoints, or generate OpenAPI documentation. Trigger terms: FastAPI, Pydantic, async Python, Python API, REST API Python, SQLAlchemy async, JWT authentication, OpenAPI, Swagger Python.

Comprehensive guide for Go database access — parameterized queries, struct scanning, NULLable columns, transactions, isolation levels, SELECT FOR UPDATE, connection pool, batch processing, context propagation, and migration tooling. Use when writing, reviewing, or debugging Golang code that interacts with PostgreSQL, MariaDB, MySQL, or SQLite; for database testing; or for questions about database/sql, sqlx, or pgx. Does NOT generate database schemas or migration SQL.

Use when building, configuring, or debugging enterprise Java applications with Spring Boot 3.x, microservices, or reactive programming. Invoke to implement WebFlux endpoints, optimize JPA queries and database performance, configure Spring Security with OAuth2/JWT, or resolve authentication issues and async processing challenges in cloud-native Spring applications.

Comprehensive documentation guide for Golang projects, covering godoc comments, README, CONTRIBUTING, CHANGELOG, Go Playground, Example tests, API docs, and llms.txt. Use when writing or reviewing doc comments, documentation, adding code examples, setting up doc sites, or discussing documentation best practices. Triggers for both libraries and applications/CLIs.
