What it does
- → See the samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-concurrency skill for goroutine cancellation patterns using context
- → See the samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-database skill for context-aware database operations (QueryContext, ExecContext)
- → See the samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-observability skill for trace context propagation with OpenTelemetry
- → See the samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-design-patterns skill for timeout and resilience patterns
Requirements & configuration
- | Function needs context but caller doesn't provide one yet | context.TODO() |
- | Need cancellation control | context.WithCancel(parentCtx) |
- | Need a deadline/timeout | context.WithTimeout(parentCtx, duration) |

golang-context FAQ
What does the golang-context skill do?
Idiomatic context.Context usage in Golang — propagation through API boundaries, cancellation, timeouts and deadlines, request-scoped values, context.WithoutCancel for background work outliving requests. Apply when designing context propagation across layers, debugging leaked or unexpired contexts, choosing between context.Background/TODO/WithoutCancel, or storing values in context. Not for code that merely accepts ctx as first parameter. → See the samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-concurrency skill for goroutine cancellation patterns using context → See the samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-database skill for context-aware database operations (QueryContext, ExecContext)
