writing-go

What problem does it solve?

This Skill enforces Go's philosophy of simplicity and clarity, helping you avoid common pitfalls like nested conditionals, misuse of any, and improper error handling to produce robust, readable code.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Idiomatic Go Patterns: Apply private interfaces at the consumer, flat control flow with guard clauses, and concrete types over generics for business logic.
• Production-Ready Tooling: Integrate testing with testify/mockery and structured logging with slog.
• Use Case: Imagine you're designing a service layer. Use this Skill to define a private userStore interface where it's used, inject a concrete PostgresStore, and write flat, testable functions with wrapped errors.

Quick Start

Use the writing-go skill to refactor this deeply nested function into a flat control flow using guard clauses and early returns.
