Maintenance
Golang library and framework selection — vetted production-ready options by category (web, database, testing, logging, messaging), new and experimental stdlib packages, standard-library-first tradeoffs, and maturity signals (maintenance, license, importer counts). Apply when the user asks for library suggestions, wants to compare alternatives, needs to choose a library for a specific task, or when a new dependency is being added to the project. Not for a specific library's API once chosen (→ See that library's dedicated skill, e.g. `samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-samber-lo`), nor for go.mod mechanics, upgrades, or vulnerability audits (→ See `samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-dependency-management` skill).
