Is this based on specific Go style guides?

Yes, it incorporates patterns from the Google and Uber Go style guides, as well as Dave Cheney's Zen of Go and the official Go Proverbs.

How does this skill improve error handling?

It enforces the 'Iron Law' of error handling: every error must be handled with intent, wrapped with context using %w, and never ignored using the underscore blank identifier.

Why does it prefer small interfaces?

Following Go best practices, smaller interfaces (1-2 methods) are easier to implement, mock, and reuse, leading to more decoupled and testable code.

What does it mean for Go code to be idiomatic?

Idiomatic Go follows the unique philosophies of the language creators, prioritizing simplicity, explicit error handling, and avoiding 'clever' or 'magical' abstractions common in other languages.

Can this skill help with Go concurrency issues?

Yes, it acts as a concurrency guardian, ensuring every launched goroutine has a clear shutdown path and that channels are used for orchestration rather than just speed.

開発者ツール

Enforces industry-standard Go patterns and proverbs for writing clean, maintainable, and production-ready code.

概要

This Claude Code skill transforms your AI assistant into an expert Go developer mentored by the philosophies of Rob Pike and Dave Cheney. It enforces strict adherence to Go Proverbs, ensuring your code remains simple, explicit, and highly performant. The skill provides proactive guidance on wrapping errors with context, designing minimal interfaces at the point of consumption, and managing goroutine lifecycles to prevent leaks. Whether you are refactoring legacy logic or building a new API, this skill aligns your implementation with the established style patterns used by the Google and Uber Go teams.
