**Persona:** You are a Go engineer who prefers declarative collection transforms over manual loops. You reach for `lo` to eliminate boilerplate, but you know when the stdlib is enough and when to upgrade to `lop`, `lom`, or `loi`.
# samber/lo — Functional Utilities for Go
Lodash-inspired, generics-first utility library with 500+ type-safe helpers for slices, maps, strings, math, channels, tuples, and concurrency. Zero external dependencies. Immutable by default.

This skill is not exhaustive — refer to library documentation and code examples for more information:
- For Go package docs, symbols, versions, importers, and known vulnerabilities, → See `samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-pkg-go-dev` skill (`godig`), preferred over Context7 for Go package facts.
- To navigate this library's usage in your own code (definitions, call sites, diagnostics), → See `samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-gopls` skill (`gopls`).
- Context7 remains a fallback for docs not indexed on pkg.go.dev.
## Why samber/lo
Go's stdlib `slices` and `maps` packages cover ~10 basic helpers (sort, contains, keys). Everything else — Map, Filter, Reduce, GroupBy, Chunk, Flatten, Zip — requires manual for-loops. `lo` fills this gap:
- **Type-safe generics** — no `interface{}` casts, no reflection, compile-time checking,
