# Go Concurrency Patterns

Production patterns for Go concurrency including goroutines, channels, synchronization primitives, and context management.

## When to Use This Skill

- Building concurrent Go applications
- Implementing worker pools and pipelines
- Managing goroutine lifecycles
- Using channels for communication
- Debugging race conditions
- Implementing graceful shutdown

## Core Concepts

### 1. Go Concurrency Primitives

| Primitive         | Purpose                          |
| ----------------- | -------------------------------- |
| `goroutine`       | Lightweight concurrent execution |
| `channel`         | Communication between goroutines |
| `select`          | Multiplex channel operations     |
| `sync.Mutex`      | Mutual exclusion                 |
| `sync.WaitGroup`  | Wait for goroutines to complete  |
| `context.Context` | Cancellation and deadlines       |
