SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Go web projects often suffer from boilerplate, inconsistent structure, and missing best practices for scalable architectures. This Skill provides a modern Go web architecture guide to standardize project layout, dependencies, and organizational patterns.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Standardized project layout: Guides a clean Go web project structure (cmd/, internal/, pkg/) to accelerate onboarding.
  • Explicit dependencies & interfaces: Emphasizes explicit wiring in main.go, avoids globals, and favors interface-driven design.
  • LLM API integration pattern: Demonstrates using LiteLLM proxy for all LLM interactions.
  • Use Case: Spin up a new API/microservice with consistent architecture and pluggable components.

Quick Start

Initialize a new Go web project following this guide, create a module, and wire core dependencies (Gin/Chi/Echo, Viper, GORM) per the architecture blueprint.

FAQPage Schema
How do I structure a new Go web project for scalability?

Modern Go web project structure uses cmd/, internal/, and pkg/ directories to separate entry points, application logic, and reusable packages. This layout enforces clean dependencies, accelerates team onboarding, and supports microservices growth without boilerplate overhead.

What's the best way to wire dependencies in a Go web application?

Explicit dependency wiring in main.go avoids global state and enables interface-driven design. Each component receives its dependencies as constructor arguments, making tests simpler, dependencies visible, and components pluggable across different configurations.

How do I integrate LLM APIs into a Go microservice?

Use LiteLLM proxy to standardize all LLM interactions across your Go services. This centralizes API handling, simplifies model switching, and provides a consistent interface whether you're calling OpenAI, Anthropic, or other providers.

Can I use this architecture pattern for building APIs and microservices in Go?

Yes. This architecture blueprint applies to new Go APIs and microservices by providing standardized project layout, tech stack patterns (Gin/Chi/Echo, Viper, GORM), and best practices for consistent, maintainable services at any scale.

What best practices does this guide enforce for Go web projects?

The guide enforces standard layout, explicit dependency injection, interface-driven design, and error wrapping. It removes backward compatibility layers and prioritizes clarity—dependencies and design decisions are visible in code, not hidden in configuration or globals.

Why should I avoid global variables in Go web architecture?

Globals hide dependencies, complicate testing, and create implicit coupling between components. Explicit wiring through constructors makes dependencies visible, lets you swap implementations for tests, and forces clear reasoning about how your service is assembled.
