# golang-modernize

> Modernize Golang code to use recent language features, standard library improvements, and idiomatic patterns.

Modernize Golang code to use recent language features, standard library improvements, and idiomatic patterns. Use when reviewing Go code with old-style patterns, when encountering a deprecation warning, or when the user asks for modernization, a Go version upgrade (e.g. to Go 1.27), or a CI/tooling refresh. Not for structural refactors, extracting functions, or moving code between packages (→ See `samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-refactoring` skill).
