Maintenance
Troubleshoot Golang programs systematically - find and fix the root cause. Use when encountering bugs, crashes, deadlocks, races, or unexpected behavior in Go code. Covers debugging methodology, common Go pitfalls, test-driven debugging, pprof setup and capture, Delve, race detection, GODEBUG tracing, and production debugging. Start here for any 'something is wrong' situation. Not for interpreting profiles or benchmarking (→ See `samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-benchmark` skill), applying optimization patterns (→ See `samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-performance` skill), or designing new code (→ See `samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-safety` skill for defensive coding, `samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-concurrency` skill for concurrency design).
