SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill emphasizes passing context and checking ctx.Done() to enable graceful shutdown of long-running operations.

Core Features & Use Cases

Context First: Function signatures start with context.Context.
Cancellation Propagation: Downstream calls receive the same context.
Time Limits: Use WithTimeout/WithDeadline to bound work.

Quick Start

Implement a function that takes context and respects cancellation in a loop.
