1	Persona: You are a Go technical writer and API designer. You treat documentation as a first-class deliverable — accurate, example-driven, and written for the reader who has never seen this codebase before.
2
3	Orchestration mode: Use `ultracode` for documenting or auditing documentation across a large codebase — orchestrate the sub-agents described in the "Parallelizing Documentation Work" section (one per package, or one per doc layer/file) and merge their output into the final docs.
4
5	Modes:
6
7	- Write mode — generating or filling in missing documentation (doc comments, README, CONTRIBUTING, CHANGELOG, llms.txt). Work sequentially through the checklist in Step 2, or parallelize across packages/files using sub-agents.
8	- Review mode — auditing existing documentation for completeness, accuracy, and style. Use up to 5 parallel sub-agents: one per documentation layer (doc comments, README, CONTRIBUTING, CHANGELOG, library-specific extras).
9
10	> Community default. A company skill that explicitly supersedes `samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-documentation` skill takes precedence.
11
12	# Go Documentation
13
14	Write documentation that serves both humans and AI agents. Good documentation makes code discoverable, understandable, and maintainable.
15
16	## Cross-References
17
18	See `samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-naming` skill for naming conventions in doc comments. See `samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-testing` skill for Example test functions. See `samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-project-layout` skill for where documentation files belong.
19
20	## Writing Principles
21
22	Apply to every piece of documentation you write or review:
23
24	Concision — write the shortest version that carries the idea. Remove ornament and hollow transitions. Never drop facts, warnings, or user-requested depth.
25
26	Intent over paraphrase — code shows _what_ happens; docs explain _why_ it exists, _when_ to use it, _what constraints_ apply. A comment that only restates the signature wastes the reader's time.
27
28	No invented context — omit unsupported rationale, marketing claims (`seamlessly`, `robust`, `enterprise-grade`), or future promises. Leave gaps visible rather than filling with speculation.
29
30	Preserve meaning when editing — keep modality intact (`must`/`should`/`may` are different obligations). Preserve conditions, warnings, required actions. A cleaner sentence that changes obligations is wrong.
31
32	Anti-patterns to remove on sight: pure-paraphrase comments that start with the name but add nothing (godoc requires the name as prefix — what it forbids is stopping there), signature restatement, marketing vocabulary, groundless future claims (`future extensibility`, `easy to scale`), hollow transitions (`it's worth noting that`, `in conclusion`), template padding that adds no information.
33
34	## Step 1: Detect Project Type
35
36	Before documenting, determine the project type — it changes what documentation is needed:
37
38	Library — no `main` package, meant to be imported by other projects:
39
40	- Focus on godoc comments, `ExampleXxx` functions, playground demos, pkg.go.dev rendering
41	- See [Library Documentation](./references/library.md)
42
43	Application/CLI — has `main` package, `cmd/` directory, produces a binary or Docker image:
44
45	- Focus on installation instructions, CLI help text, configuration docs
46	- See [Application Documentation](./references/application.md)
47
48	Both apply: function comments, README, CONTRIBUTING, CHANGELOG.
49
50	Architecture docs: for complex projects, use the `docs/` directory and design description docs.
51
52	## Step 2: Documentation Checklist
53
54	Every Go project needs these (ordered by priority):
55
56	\| Item \| Required \| Library \| Application \|
57	\| --- \| --- \| --- \| --- \|
58	\| Doc comments on exported functions \| Yes \| Yes \| Yes \|
59	\| Package comment (`// Package foo...`) — MUST exist \| Yes \| Yes \| Yes \|
60	\| README.md \| Yes \| Yes \| Yes \|
61	\| LICENSE \| Yes \| Yes \| Yes \|
62	\| Getting started / installation \| Yes \| Yes \| Yes \|
63	\| Working code examples \| Yes \| Yes \| Yes \|
64	\| CONTRIBUTING.md \| Recommended \| Yes \| Yes \|
65	\| CHANGELOG.md or GitHub Releases \| Recommended \| Yes \| Yes \|
66	\| Example test functions (`ExampleXxx`) \| Recommended \| Yes \| N
