How do I install the Python To Go Converter skill?

Run npx skillmds@latest add modbender/python-to-go-converter in your terminal (requires Node.js), paste this page's agent-chat prompt into Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-connected agent, or download the SKILL.md file and copy it into your agent's skills directory.

Is Python To Go Converter safe to use?

This skill has not completed SkillMD's automated safety review yet. Independent scanners report: SkillSpector: PASS, Skill Scanner: PASS. Capability flags: executes scripts. SkillMD never runs a skill's scripts for you; review the SKILL.md before installing.

Which AI agents work with Python To Go Converter?

This skill is tagged as working with Claude Code, Claude.ai, OpenAI Codex. SKILL.md is an open format, so most agents that read a skills directory can load it too.

Is Python To Go Converter free to use?

Yes. Installing skills from SkillMD is free, and the skill stays under its author's original license.

SKILL.md — Python to Go Converter

Overview

This skill automatically converts Python source code to idiomatic, compilable Go code. It handles type mappings, import translations, and produces clean Go output suitable for performance-critical applications.

Capabilities

Convert Python source files to Go with preserved functionality
Intelligent Python-to-Go type mapping (int, str, list, dict, classes, etc.)
Translate common Python standard library imports to Go equivalents
Generate properly formatted Go code with comments
Provide detailed error diagnostics for unsupported Python features
CLI interface for batch conversion and agent integration
Support for functions, classes, control flow, and basic data structures

Installation

The skill is installed as part of an OpenClaw skill package. Ensure dependencies are met (Python 3.8+, go compiler in PATH).

Usage

CLI Invocation

python-to-go-converter convert <input.py> [--output <output.go>]

Agent Integration

The skill exposes a single-turn execution model. Provide Python code as input, receive Go code as output.

Examples

# Convert a single file
python-to-go-converter convert examples/basic.py --output output.go

# Convert with diagnostics
python-to-go-converter convert myscript.py --verbose

Error Handling

The converter produces non-zero exit codes on failure and writes diagnostics to stderr. Common errors include:

Unsupported Python syntax (decorators, metaclasses, async generators)
Library dependencies without Go equivalents
Type inference failures

See error_codes.json for the full error catalog.

Limitations

Does not convert GUI frameworks (Tkinter, PyQt)
No support for dynamic metaprogramming (eval, exec, setattr magic)
Machine learning libraries (NumPy, TensorFlow) require manual rewrite
Perfect 1:1 runtime behavior is not guaranteed; testing required

Performance

Typical conversion times: small scripts (<100 LOC) < 1s; medium (500 LOC) ~2-3s; large codebases scale linearly. Conversion is CPU-bound on Python parsing and AST traversal.
