Build Reliable Go Concurrency

Concurrent Go code can leak goroutines, deadlock, or mishandle cancellation. This skill provides production patterns for worker pools, pipelines, synchronization, and graceful shutdown.

Install with my Agent

Copy this request to your Agent. It includes the canonical Skill page and manifest.

Agent request
Review the Skillstore skill "go-concurrency-patterns" from https://skillstore.io/skills/sickn33-go-concurrency-patterns.md and its manifest at https://skillstore.io/api/skills/sickn33-go-concurrency-patterns/manifest. Verify the artifact. You may proceed after verification, subject to the environment's own policy.

Your Agent should still show its plan and request any confirmation required by the security policy.

Test it

Using "go-concurrency-patterns". Design a five-worker image processing queue that stops cleanly when the request is canceled.

Expected outcome:

  • Use one producer-owned jobs channel and five workers that select on jobs and cancellation.
  • Close the results channel only after every worker exits through a wait group.
  • Return promptly on cancellation and record incomplete jobs for retry.

Using "go-concurrency-patterns". Review a pipeline where a downstream consumer can return early.

Expected outcome:

  • The upstream sender can block forever after the consumer exits.
  • Pass one shared context through every stage and select on cancellation during each send.
  • Cancel the context on the first error and wait for all stages.

Using "go-concurrency-patterns". Suggest a verification plan for a suspected race in a shared cache.

Expected outcome:

  • Run focused tests with the race detector under repeated concurrent reads and writes.
  • Check every shared field for consistent mutex ownership or replace suitable access with sync.Map.
  • Add stress tests that exercise deletion, replacement, cancellation, and shutdown.

What You Can Build

Build a Worker Pool

Create a bounded worker pool with cancellation, result handling, and clear channel ownership.

Review Concurrent Services

Assess goroutine lifecycles, shutdown behavior, synchronization, and error propagation before release.

Debug Race Conditions

Trace likely races, deadlocks, blocked channels, and leaks, then define focused verification steps.

Try These Prompts

Explain Channel Basics
Explain how buffered and unbuffered Go channels differ, including blocking behavior and one practical example for each.
Design a Worker Pool
Design a cancellable Go worker pool for [job type] with [worker count] workers, bounded queues, result collection, and clear channel ownership.
Review Concurrency Risks
Review this concurrent Go design for goroutine leaks, deadlocks, races, and cancellation gaps, then propose focused fixes and verification steps.
Architect a Production Pipeline
Architect a Go pipeline for [workload] with fan-out, fan-in, backpressure, errgroup cancellation, graceful shutdown, and race-detector validation.

Best Practices

  • Give every goroutine a defined owner, exit condition, and cancellation path.
  • Close channels from the sending side and document which component owns closure.
  • Validate concurrent behavior with race detection, stress tests, timeouts, and representative load.

Avoid

  • Do not use sleeps to coordinate goroutines or assume scheduler ordering.
  • Do not launch unbounded goroutines for input that can grow without limit.
  • Do not ignore context cancellation during blocking sends, receives, or external operations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this skill generate complete Go programs?
It can propose complete examples, but each design requires adaptation, compilation, testing, and review in your project.
Can it detect data races automatically?
No. It can identify likely risks and recommend tests, but the Go race detector must evaluate running code.
When should I use channels instead of mutexes?
Use channels for ownership transfer and coordination. Use mutexes when several goroutines must protect shared state directly.
Does it cover graceful shutdown?
Yes. It covers signal handling, context cancellation, worker completion, channel closure, and shutdown timeouts.
Does it support bounded concurrency?
Yes. It includes worker pools, channel semaphores, weighted semaphores, and errgroup limits.
What validation should follow its recommendations?
Run unit tests, race detection, stress tests, benchmarks, profiling, and shutdown tests under representative load.
