Idiomatic Golang design patterns improve maintainability by guiding functional options, constructors, error handling, and resource management. This Skill audits existing code for design issues and suggests the smallest pattern satisfying architectural requirements.

Handling errors and resources in Golang requires idiomatic patterns for graceful shutdown and resilience. This Skill provides guidance on functional options and resource management to ensure cleaner code that is easier to test and less prone to bugs.

Auditing Go code for unbounded resources and missing timeouts is handled by Review Mode, which detects design issues like init() abuse and implicit global state. It analyzes your current project's design patterns to pinpoint structural weaknesses.

Prior knowledge of Golang best practices is required to apply this design pattern guidance effectively. The Skill focuses on architectural patterns, dependency injection, and data handling, requiring developers to understand Golang idioms.

Functional options and dependency injection in Golang should be used when creating new APIs, packages, or application structures. Design Mode assists by suggesting the smallest idiomatic pattern that satisfies your specific structural requirement.
