SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Apply Go coding rules, design principles, and project conventions for maintainable Go code and repositories. Use when writing, reviewing, refactoring, or releasing Go code, or when working on Go-specific project structure, APIs, tests, CI, or binaries. Do not use for non-Go codebases or for language-agnostic tasks that do not depend on Go conventions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Enforces idiomatic Go naming, interfaces, error handling, and package design.
  • Provides guidance for maintainable APIs, tests, and CI integration across Go projects.
  • Use case: ensure all new modules follow a consistent Go style and architecture.

Quick Start

Run a codebase review to enforce the Go idioms defined in this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I enforce Go idioms and coding standards during a code review?

Enforce Go idioms by applying standardized rules for naming, interfaces, error handling, and package design during code reviews. This ensures all modules follow a consistent Go style and maintainable architecture.

What are the best practices for structuring a Go project and APIs?

Best practices for structuring Go projects involve standardizing project conventions, designing maintainable APIs with minimal surface area, and integrating tests and CI. This provides guidance for clean repository architecture.

How do I standardize error handling and concurrency patterns across a Go codebase?

Standardize error handling and concurrency in a Go codebase by enforcing specific idioms around these areas. This ensures consistent implementation of standard library usage and clean coding rules across the project.

Can I use this for language-agnostic codebase reviews or non-Go projects?

No, you cannot use this for language-agnostic tasks or non-Go codebases. It specifically applies standardizing Go coding rules, conventions, and idioms for writing, reviewing, refactoring, and releasing Go code.

When do I need to apply Go-specific conventions for releasing binaries and CI?

Apply Go-specific conventions for releasing binaries and CI when working on Go project structure and tests. This standardizes the build and release process, ensuring maintainable repository standards across the project.
