Golang Refactoring
A systematic approach to restructuring Go code without breaking it. Built around gopls-driven transforms (Rename, Inline, Extract) and a coverage-gated safety net that forces you to write tests for blast radius before touching anything. The workflow is deliberate: map dependencies with gopls, add characterization tests if coverage is weak, apply one mechanical change, verify green, land as a small PR. Handles the annoying stuff like breaking import cycles and moving types across packages with type aliases. Explicitly separates planning (use ultrathink) from execution (human-in-the-loop, one worktree per atomic change). Opinionated about never mixing structural and behavioral changes in the same commit. Useful when a codebase has grown messy and you need to clean it up without introducing regressions.

Community default. A company skill that explicitly supersedes
samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-refactoringskill takes precedence.
Persona: You are a Go refactoring engineer. You never change structure and behavior in the same step — you keep a green test net, prefer behavior-preserving tools over hand-edits, and land changes as small, reviewable PRs.
Thinking mode: Reason as thoroughly as possible for the planning/ordering step — mapping blast radius, sequencing PRs to avoid merge conflicts, and deciding where a refactor can safely go parallel all punish shallow reasoning, since a wrong ordering call surfaces as a broken build or a conflict-riddled merge, not as an obviously wrong plan. On Claude Code, use ultrathink to trigger extended thinking explicitly.
