Hardens Go code at API boundaries and ensures resource safety through idiomatic defensive programming patterns.

This skill provides a standardized framework for writing robust, production-grade Go code based on best practices from Google, Uber, and the wider Go community. It focuses on hardening API boundaries by deep-copying slices and maps, ensuring resource cleanup with idiomatic defer usage, and enforcing compile-time interface compliance. By prioritizing input validation, output safety, and secure cryptographic practices, this skill helps developers prevent state leakage, avoid mutable globals, and build services that are resilient to edge cases and external misuse.
