This Skill helps you produce maintainable, idiomatic Go code and reviews by enforcing consistent standards for structure, correctness, performance, and safety.
Use the go skill when you need the AI to write, review, or refactor Go code that follows modern standards and solid testing/error-handling practices.

Safe error handling in Go requires wrapping errors with fmt.Errorf using the %w verb, then checking specific error types using errors.Is and errors.As. This approach preserves the original error chain for accurate upstream evaluation.
Goroutine lifecycle management in Go requires explicit context cancellation and structured shutdown procedures. Passing contexts ensures concurrent operations terminate cleanly, preventing leaks and race conditions during process exit.
Table-driven tests in Go use structs to define input and expected output cases, executing them via t.Run subtests. Running tests with the -race flag ensures concurrent operations remain safe from data races.
Structured logging with log/slog integrates directly into modern Go HTTP services. It provides key-value paired log outputs, replacing standard log dependencies for better filtering and consistent service observability.
Run govulncheck during Go testing and CI pipelines to detect known vulnerabilities in module dependencies. It analyzes code paths to ensure untrusted inputs and dependencies do not expose security risks.
Go code review enforces gofmt formatting and proper module usage to guarantee consistency across project layouts. Separating cmd and internal directories ensures clear dependency boundaries and maintainable structure.
davzuckyOrganize Go projects into cmd/, internal/, and pkg/ directories.
