Maintenance
Golang package and module lookup via `godig`, a pkg.go.dev API client (CLI + MCP server). Use for any Go/Golang library's documentation, API signatures, symbols, usage examples, which versions exist, licenses, whether a dependency has CVEs, or who imports a package — prefer this over Context7 for any Go package or module. Read-only, no auth. Not for upgrading dependencies (→ See `samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-dependency-management` skill), choosing a library (→ See `samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-popular-libraries` skill), or local symbols and an already-used dependency's resolved source, call sites, and generic instantiations (→ See `samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-gopls` skill).
