Implements idiomatic context management in Go to handle request-scoped lifecycles, cancellations, and timeouts across API boundaries.

The golang-context skill equips Claude with specialized knowledge for handling context.Context correctly within Go projects. It enforces industry-standard patterns such as proper propagation through service layers, implementing timeouts and deadlines, and managing request-scoped metadata without namespace collisions. This skill is essential for developers debugging leaked contexts, refactoring legacy code for better concurrency control, or leveraging modern Go 1.21+ features like context.WithoutCancel for background operations that must outlive their parent requests.
