What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you write more readable, maintainable, and error-free Go code by enforcing best practices for variable and constant declarations, import organization, and zero-value usage.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Import Organization: Ensures imports are grouped logically (standard, external, internal) and aliases are used judiciously.
  • Declaration Styles: Guides on when to use short (:=) vs. explicit (var) declarations, and how to group related constants and variables.
  • Zero Value Awareness: Explains Go's zero values and how to leverage them effectively, including the distinction between nil and empty slices.
  • Scope Minimization: Promotes declaring variables close to their point of use to reduce cognitive load and potential errors.

Quick Start

Review the current Go file for declaration and import best practices.
