To enforce idiomatic Go coding standards in a pull request, validate import grouping, naming conventions, struct initialization, and error handling. Running automated checks during code review flags style regressions and suggests fixes aligned with goimports and go vet compliance.

Correct import ordering for Go source files separates standard, external, and internal groups. This grouping mechanism prevents import misuse and satisfies golangci-lint compatibility requirements by forbidding dot imports and unnecessary aliases.

Yes, golangci-lint compatibility extends to Go struct initialization checks by requiring explicit field-based initialization. This approach enforces idiomatic style conventions and prevents brittle code caused by incorrect struct formatting.

Fix Go naming conventions by validating package, function, variable, and interface names for appropriate use of short names versus descriptive identifiers. This validation process prevents bugs caused by poor naming and keeps codebases consistent.

Limitations of using linting for Go code review include focusing strictly on style conventions like import ordering, nesting reduction, and enum best practices rather than complex architectural logic. It validates syntax compliance but does not evaluate runtime performance.
