What it does
Golang semantic code intelligence via `gopls`, the official Go language server, go-to-definition, find references, call/implementation hierarchy, workspace symbol search, package API discovery, diagnostics, safe rename, refactors (extract/inline/fill/rewrite code actions), formatting, and generated tests. Reaches an agent via gopls's own MCP server (`go_*` tools), Claude Code's native `LSP` tool, or the `gopls` CLI. Use when navigating or refactoring Go code, jumping to a definition, finding call sites before a rename, understanding a file's or package's dependencies, running diagnostics after an edit, or extracting/inlining/renaming. Not for the published ecosystem, packages not in your `go.mod`, versions, licenses, importers, → See `samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-pkg-go-dev` skill (`godig`). Not for a whole-tree vulnerability audit → See `samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-security` skill (`govulncheck`).
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.
Three ways to reach gopls
Not interchangeable, pick by what you already know and what you need back:
