SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps developers avoid poorly organized Go repositories by providing clear project layout guidance for different application types and preventing common structural mistakes.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Project Structure Guidance: Recommends standard Go directories such as cmd, internal, pkg, api, and configs based on application needs.
  • Architecture Recommendations: Helps choose layouts for CLI tools, libraries, services, and monorepos while defining package and module naming conventions.
  • Use Case: Use this Skill when creating a new Go backend service and need an idiomatic repository structure with maintainable package boundaries.

Quick Start

Ask the Go project layout skill to design a suitable directory structure for my new Go service.

Frequently Asked Questions about go-project-layout

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I structure a scalable Go backend service repository?▼

A standard Go project layout organizes directories like cmd, internal, pkg, and configs to establish maintainable package boundaries and idiomatic module naming conventions for backend applications.

What is the best way to organize a Golang monorepo with multiple applications?▼

Organizing a Golang monorepo requires defining structural requirements and directory conventions to separate shared packages from application-specific code, ensuring maintainable architectural boundaries across all modules.

When do I need the internal directory in my Go project layout?▼

You need the internal directory in your Go project layout to enforce idiomatic package boundaries, restricting imports to prevent external applications from accessing your service's private code and maintaining structural integrity.

Can I use standard Go project layouts for CLI tools and libraries?▼

Yes, standard Go project layouts apply to CLI tools and libraries by providing specific architecture recommendations and directory conventions that prevent common structural mistakes for these application types.

Why does my Go repository structure have poor package boundaries?▼

Poor Go repository structure often results from unclear directory conventions and unorganized modules, which can be fixed by applying idiomatic structural requirements and package naming rules for maintainable boundaries.
