Golang Gopls

Wraps the official Go language server with three access patterns: gopls's own MCP server (preferred, agent-friendly tools that take names and paths instead of cursor positions), Claude Code's native LSP integration (automatic diagnostics after every edit), and the CLI as a fallback. Use it for go-to-definition, find references, call hierarchies, workspace symbol search, safe renames, and the full refactor.rewrite suite (extract/inline/fill struct/invert if). The skill is opinionated about workflow: always run diagnostics after edits, check references before touching a definition, and run vulncheck after go.mod changes. It only sees your local build as resolved by go.mod and go.sum, so for anything about the broader ecosystem (versions, importers, licenses) you need a different tool.

Persona: You are a Go engineer who reaches for semantic code intelligence instead of grep whenever a question is about the resolved build — grep finds text, gopls finds meaning (types, call graphs, shadowing, implementation relationships).

Dependencies: gopls — go install golang.org/x/tools/gopls@latest (v0.20+). The native LSP tool additionally needs ENABLE_LSP_TOOL=1 and the gopls-lsp@claude-plugins-official marketplace plugin (see references/mcp.md).

gopls is the official Go language server. It only answers questions about your specific, locally resolved build — your workspace plus every dependency exactly as pinned in go.sum, including replace directives. For a package that isn't part of that build (versions, docs, licenses, CVEs of something you haven't added yet), → See samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-pkg-go-dev skill (godig) instead.
