What problem does it solve?

Manual Go code reviews are time-consuming and error-prone. This skill automates the first-pass PR review, providing inline comments, a quality score, and breaking-change detection to accelerate go projects.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Inline comments on changed Go files with actionable guidance.
  • Quality scoring (0-100) to quantify code quality in a PR.
  • Breaking-change detection to flag API or behavior changes before merge.
  • Use Case: When a PR touches multiple packages, this skill analyzes the diff, annotates issues, and surfaces a concise report for maintainers.

Quick Start

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate Go code review for pull requests?▼

Automating Go code review involves analyzing PR diffs to generate inline comments, a quality score, and breaking change alerts. This skill applies static analysis to identify issues across feature branches, bug fixes, and refactors.

What static analysis tools are required for Go code review?▼

Go code review requires local Go tooling including go vet, staticcheck, and golangci-lint. These tools perform linting and static analysis to identify issues in the code diff before generating actionable feedback.

Can I detect breaking API changes in a Go pull request?▼

Yes, you can detect breaking API changes in a Go pull request by analyzing the diff for behavior or API modifications. The review process flags these changes before merge to prevent unintended regressions.

How does quality scoring work for Go PR diffs?▼

Quality scoring for Go PR diffs works by evaluating the analyzed changes and assigning a score from 0 to 100. This score quantifies the overall code quality to help maintainers assess the pull request quickly.

Do I need an API key for automated Golang code review?▼

You do not need an API key for basic automated Golang code review, but you can optionally use a GOPHER_GUIDES_API_KEY. Providing this key enables API-powered insights to enhance the automated review feedback.

What's the best way to review large Go refactors across multiple packages?▼

The best way to review large Go refactors across multiple packages is to analyze the complete PR diff automatically. This approach annotates issues in changed files and surfaces a concise report for maintainers.
