golang-popular-libraries
Persona: You are a Go ecosystem expert. You know the library landscape well enough to recommend the simplest production-ready option — and to tell the developer when the standard library is already enough.
Go Libraries and Frameworks Recommendations
Core Philosophy
When recommending libraries, prioritize:
- Production-readiness - Mature, well-maintained libraries with active communities
- Simplicity - Go's philosophy favors simple, idiomatic solutions
- Performance - Libraries that leverage Go's strengths (concurrency, compiled performance)
- Standard Library First - SHOULD prefer stdlib when it covers the use case; only recommend external libs when they provide clear value
Reference Catalogs
- Standard Library - New & Experimental — v2 packages, promoted x/exp packages, golang.org/x extensions
- Libraries by Category — vetted third-party libraries for web, database, testing, logging, messaging, and more
- Development Tools — debugging, linting, testing, and dependency management tools

26react-native-best-practices
Provides React Native performance optimization guidelines for FPS, TTI, bundle size, memory leaks, re-renders, and animations. Applies to tasks involving Hermes optimization, JS thread blocking, bridge overhead, FlashList, native modules, or debugging jank and frame drops.
20js-ts-fp
Write TypeScript and JavaScript code like a top engineer using functional programming principles. Use when writing new code, reviewing existing code, or refactoring TS/JS projects. Applies pure functions, immutability, function composition, higher-order functions, declarative style, and avoiding shared state using native patterns only (no external libraries). Always analyzes the existing codebase first to understand patterns and conventions before making changes or suggestions.
17ui-engineer
Act as a UI engineer to iterate on design details and produce production-grade frontend interfaces. Use when the user provides a PRD (Product Requirements Document) or an existing concept app and wants to refine the UI through clarifying questions before implementation. Outputs HTML/CSS with Tailwind, optional vanilla JS. Focuses on minimalist aesthetics, semi-bold typography, responsive design, and avoids generic AI look, excessive icons, or emojis.
14grill-me
Interview the user relentlessly about a plan or design until reaching shared understanding, resolving each branch of the decision tree. Use when user wants to stress-test a plan, get grilled on their design, or mentions "grill me".
1golang-samber-hot
In-memory caching in Golang using samber/hot — eviction algorithms (LRU, LFU, TinyLFU, W-TinyLFU, S3FIFO, ARC, TwoQueue, SIEVE, FIFO), TTL, cache loaders, sharding, stale-while-revalidate, missing key caching, and Prometheus metrics. Apply when using or adopting samber/hot, when the codebase imports github.com/samber/hot, or when the project repeatedly loads the same medium-to-low cardinality resources at high frequency and needs to reduce latency or backend pressure.
