What problem does it solve?
When Go backend development teams complete requirement analysis, they often skip formal technical design phases and jump directly into coding, leading to inconsistent architecture, unclear component boundaries, transaction issues, and misalignment with requirements. This Skill enforces a design-first workflow, provides a structured template for comprehensive technical design documents, and embeds Go-specific best practices to ensure implementation plans are robust, traceable, and aligned with business requirements.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Design-First Guardrail: Explicitly prohibits coding until the technical design document is reviewed and approved by the user, preventing unplanned implementation work.
- Structured Design Template: Provides a complete document structure covering requirement mapping, change impact analysis, package and layer division, API/RPC contracts, data models, transaction and consistency design, observability, release strategies, and tradeoff documentation.
- Go-Specific Best Practices: Includes dedicated checklists for context propagation, interface design, transaction scoping, goroutine management, error handling, and configuration management tailored to Go backend development.
- Use Case: For example, after finalizing requirements for a new order processing microservice, use this Skill to generate a technical design that maps each requirement to specific handler, service, and repository components, defines transaction boundaries for order creation and payment flows, and documents rollback plans for schema changes.
Quick Start
Use the go-backend-technical-design skill to create a full technical design plan for the new order processing microservice based on the finalized requirement document in your current workspace.
