What problem does it solve?
Go developers often struggle to apply idiomatic patterns, manage dependencies, tests, and tooling across services and CLI apps. This skill provides a structured approach to writing Go code with modern patterns, reliable concurrency, and maintainable architecture. It also guides repository organization, testing strategies, and tooling configuration for consistent, production-ready Go projects.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Idiomatic Go patterns: functional options, dependency injection, error handling, interfaces, and modular design.
- Concurrency and reliability: goroutines, channels, context, errgroup, worker pools, and safe synchronization.
- Tooling and workflows: module best practices, go.work, testing strategies with table-driven tests, and linting with golangci-lint.
- Use Case: design and implement a REST API microservice or a CLI tool with robust testing and clear patterns.
Quick Start
Create a new module and scaffold a small Go project demonstrating idiomatic patterns with a REST API.
