A standard Go project layout enforces `cmd/` and `internal/` directories while forbidding `pkg/` as an anti-pattern. This structure aligns with Go conventions and ensures clear package separation.
You can scaffold a Go project by selecting a specific starter template like webservice or Cobra CLI, which automatically applies production-ready patterns including a run-function pattern and graceful shutdown to ensure standardized repository creation.
You should avoid the `pkg/` directory because it is considered an anti-pattern in modern Go project layout. Standardizing on `cmd/` and `internal/` enforces clear package separation and matches official Go conventions.
Yes, this scaffolding approach supports bootstrapping simple tools, Cobra CLIs, libraries, web services, MCP servers, and games. It selects the right starter template to ensure the repository layout matches the specific Go application type.
You validate a Go module setup by running `go mod tidy` to synchronize dependencies and `go build ./...` to confirm the entire repository compiles successfully. This ensures the standardized structure is production-ready.
