What problem does it solve?

Go codebases often drift in style and structure, leading to hard-to-read code, inconsistent error handling, and maintenance headaches. This Skill codifies Go conventions to promote clarity, consistency, and idiomatic usage across projects.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Formatting and import rules (gofmt, goimports) to keep code clean
  • Naming, package structure, and idiom-focused guidance
  • Error handling, testing patterns, concurrency practices, and linting with golangci-lint
  • Use cases include new projects, code reviews, refactoring, and onboarding teams to Go.

Quick Start

Follow these conventions when writing, reviewing, or refactoring Go code to ensure idiomatic, readable, and maintainable programs.
