Why use goleak instead of standard Go unit tests?

Standard unit tests verify functional logic but don't detect if background processes remain running after a test completes. goleak explicitly checks the runtime stack to ensure no leaked goroutines remain.

Does it work with third-party external libraries?

Yes, it supports excluding known safe goroutines from external packages using goleak.IgnoreTopFunction to focus only on your project's code.

Can this skill fix the leaks it finds automatically?

The skill identifies the specific files and patterns causing the leak and then dispatches the 'ring:backend-engineer-golang' agent to implement the required context cancellations or channel closures.

When is the best time to run this skill in my workflow?

It is designed to run after unit testing but before code review, ensuring that concurrency issues are caught and fixed before they reach human reviewers or production.

Detects and prevents memory leaks in Go applications by identifying unmanaged goroutines and enforcing Uber goleak testing standards.

This skill automates the detection of concurrency bugs in Golang projects by scanning for goroutine patterns and validating them against the Uber goleak framework. It ensures that every goroutine spawned has a deterministic shutdown path, preventing common production issues like Out-Of-Memory (OOM) crashes and resource exhaustion. By integrating into the development workflow after unit testing, it enforces high-quality concurrency standards and automatically dispatches specialized agents to implement missing cleanup logic or regression tests.
