golang-refactoring
About this skill
Golang refactoring — the safe, at-scale process for restructuring existing Go code: a coverage-adaptive safety net, tool-driven behavior-preserving transforms (gopls Rename/Inline/Extract, `gofmt -r`, `eg`, `gopatch`, `go/analysis` fixers), the Fowler catalog mapped to Go, breaking import cycles, moving types across packages, and a human-in-the-loop workflow of small stacked PRs on a refactoring branch. Apply when code is hard to maintain, a function/type has grown too large, a code smell needs fixing, adding a feature is blocked by the current structure, or the user asks to clean up, refactor, or improve Go code — also for renaming at scale, extracting functions/interfaces, moving code between packages, splitting packages, or planning a multi-step refactor.

Security
This skill was reviewed and published through ClawHub's own moderation and security scanning pipeline before being listed on their registry. ClawHub checks for malicious code, dependency vulnerabilities, and policy violations.
When you run npx @agentpowers/cli install golang-refactoring, AgentPowers downloads the package to a sandbox and runs a full security scan (ClamAV, Snyk, GuardDog, VirusTotal) before allowing installation. If the scan fails, installation is blocked.
