SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates Go code reviews by analyzing files for over 100 common mistakes, including error handling, concurrency issues, interface design, performance pitfalls, and testing gaps. It helps teams catch issues early, reduce PR review time, and improve Go code quality.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated checks: Scan Go files for common mistakes and patterns from the Go best-practices knowledge base.

  • Severity-based reporting: Flag issues as Critical/Major/Minor with location and suggested fixes.

  • Context-aware guidance: Cross-reference findings with the knowledge base and real-world patterns to provide concrete remediation steps.

  • Use Case: In a busy PR with multiple Go files, drop in a patch; the skill will return a report listing top issues, their locations, severity, and recommended code changes so developers can fix the most impactful problems first.

Quick Start

Review the attached Go file(s) such as main.go and report the top issues with severity and fixes.

How do I automate code review for Go files to catch common mistakes?▼

Automated Go code review scans files against a knowledge base of 100+ common mistakes across error handling, concurrency, interfaces, performance, and testing patterns. It reports issues with severity levels, locations, and suggested fixes suitable for PR analysis and static analysis workflows.

What types of Go errors and patterns does automated code review detect?▼

Go code review detects mistakes in error handling, concurrency issues, interface design, performance pitfalls, testing gaps, and stdlib usage. Each finding includes severity (Critical/Major/Minor), code location, mistake reference number, and concrete remediation steps with examples.

Can I use Go code review during pull request analysis?▼

Yes, Go code review integrates into PR workflows by analyzing multiple Go files and returning structured issue records ranked by severity. Developers can prioritize fixes on the most impactful problems first before merge.

How do I get started reviewing Go code for best-practice violations?▼

Provide target Go files like main.go to the review tool. It parses them, cross-references a best-practices knowledge base, and emits a severity-ranked report with issue locations, mistake numbers, and recommended code changes.

Does Go code review work with multiple files in a single analysis?▼

Yes, Go code review processes multiple Go files in one pass, scanning across your codebase for common mistakes and returning a consolidated report that highlights top issues with their locations and severity ratings.
