SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Go projects often drift from modern patterns and thorough testing. This skill guides developers to align code with current Go conventions, ensure robust tests, and maintain benchmark awareness.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Audit code to enforce generics when available, enforce structured error handling, and proper context propagation.
  • Add tests (table-driven where applicable) and benchmarks for performance-sensitive code.
  • Ideal for starting new Go services, refactoring monoliths, or validating libraries in Go 1.21+.

Quick Start

Run the golang-pro skill against a Go codebase to review patterns, introduce modern practices, and scaffold tests and benchmarks.

FAQPage Schema
How do I enforce modern Go patterns and structured error handling in my codebase?

To enforce modern Go patterns, audit your codebase to align with current conventions, applying structured error handling and proper context propagation across services targeting Go 1.21+.

How do I add table-driven tests and benchmarks for performance-sensitive Go code?

Add table-driven tests and benchmarks for Go code by auditing performance-sensitive functions, scaffolding test cases, and applying concurrent patterns to validate behavior and measure execution times.

Does this approach support refactoring monoliths and building new Go services?

Refactoring monoliths and building new Go services are supported by auditing the repository to introduce modern practices like generics, robust testing, and benchmark awareness for Go 1.21+.

What is the best way to validate context propagation and generics in Go 1.21+?

The best way to validate context propagation and generics in Go 1.21+ is running an audit against your repository to ensure code alignment with modern conventions and robust test coverage.

When should I audit my Go repository for concurrent patterns and code quality?

You should audit your Go repository for concurrent patterns and code quality when starting new services, refactoring monoliths, or validating libraries to ensure robust tests and benchmark awareness.

Why does my Go project drift from modern conventions and robust testing standards?

Go projects often drift from modern conventions and robust testing standards over time, requiring an alignment audit to enforce generics, structured error handling, and proper context propagation.
