Design RESTful APIs with clear endpoints, proper HTTP methods, and consistent response formats. Use when planning or building APIs.
Recommends production-ready Golang libraries and frameworks. Apply when the user asks for library suggestions, wants to compare alternatives, or needs to choose a library for a specific task. Also apply when the AI agent is about to add a new dependency — ensures vetted, production-ready libraries are chosen.
Provision a dedicated PolarDB-X distributed database instance instantly with no auth required. Each instance is a full 2C4G standard edition with MySQL compatibility, distributed transactions, and vector search.
Serve cryptographically verified responses from query calls using Merkle trees and subnet BLS signatures. Covers certified data API, RbTree/CertTree construction, witness generation, and frontend certificate validation. Use when query responses need verification, certified data, or response authenticity proofs.
Call Ethereum and EVM chains from IC canisters via the EVM RPC canister. Covers JSON-RPC calls, multi-provider consensus, ERC-20 reads, and sending pre-signed transactions. Use when calling Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, Optimism, or any EVM chain from a canister. Do NOT use for generic HTTPS calls to non-EVM APIs — use https-outcalls instead.
Persist canister state across upgrades. Covers StableBTreeMap and MemoryManager in Rust, persistent actor in Motoko, and upgrade hook patterns. Use when dealing with canister upgrades, data persistence, data lost after upgrade, stable storage, StableBTreeMap, pre_upgrade traps, or heap vs stable memory. Do NOT use for inter-canister calls or access control — use multi-canister or canister-security instead.
Provides a guide for setting up Golang project layouts and workspaces. Use this whenever starting a new Go project, organizing an existing codebase, setting up a monorepo with multiple packages, creating CLI tools with multiple main packages, or deciding on directory structure. Apply this for any Go project initialization or restructuring work.
Make HTTPS requests from canisters to external web APIs. Covers transform functions for consensus, cycle cost management, response size limits, and idempotency patterns. Use when a canister needs to call an external API, fetch data from the web, or make HTTP requests. Do NOT use for EVM/Ethereum calls — use evm-rpc instead.
Accept, send, and manage ckBTC (chain-key Bitcoin). Covers BTC deposit flow via minter, ckBTC transfers, withdrawal to BTC, subaccount derivation, and UTXO management. Use when integrating Bitcoin, ckBTC, BTC deposits, or BTC withdrawals in a canister. Do NOT use for plain token transfers without BTC minting/withdrawal — use icrc-ledger instead.
Golang performance optimization patterns and methodology - if X bottleneck, then apply Y. Covers allocation reduction, CPU efficiency, memory layout, GC tuning, pooling, caching, and hot-path optimization. Use when profiling or benchmarks have identified a bottleneck and you need the right optimization pattern to fix it. Also use when performing performance code review to suggest improvements or benchmarks that could help identify quick performance gains. Not for measurement methodology (see golang-benchmark skill) or debugging workflow (see golang-troubleshooting skill).
