What problem does it solve?

This skill provides a definitive guide to Go coding standards, ensuring your Go projects are idiomatic, efficient, and production-ready. It automates the enforcement of best practices for error handling, concurrency, and testing, reducing bugs and improving team collaboration.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Idiomatic Go Patterns: Guides on Go's unique approach to naming, package structure, and simplicity.
• Robust Error Handling: Teaches explicit error handling with sentinel errors and wrapping for clear diagnostics.
• Safe Concurrency: Provides patterns for goroutines, channels, and context for building reliable concurrent systems.
• Use Case: Set up a new Go microservice by applying these standards, automatically configuring gofmt, goimports, and golangci-lint to ensure all code adheres to best practices from the start.

Quick Start

Generate a basic Go project structure with go.mod, main.go, and a sample test file, following idiomatic Go standards.
