What Go versions does this skill support?

This skill specifically includes optimizations for Go 1.22 (loop syntax) and Go 1.25 (WaitGroup enhancements), while maintaining general best practices for all modern Go versions.

How does this help with package naming?

It provides strict guidelines on creating short, clear, and lowercase package names, avoiding anti-patterns like under_scores or mixedCaps, and ensuring constructors like New() are used idiomatically.

Can this skill help with security in JSON APIs?

Yes, it enforces the use of the '-' tag during JSON marshalling to ensure private or sensitive fields are omitted from API responses.

Why does it prefer 'any' over 'interface{}'?

The skill encourages the use of 'any' as it is the more modern, readable, and idiomatic alias for the empty interface in contemporary Go code.

Does it support refactoring?

It provides specific instructions for using Language Server Protocol (LSP) features to rename packages and their corresponding directories simultaneously across a codebase.
