Does it follow the Standard Project Layout?

Yes, it guides Claude to organize code according to the widely accepted Go project layout, including /cmd, /internal, and /pkg directories.

Does this skill help with Go performance?

Yes, it provides guidance on slice preallocation, using sync.Pool for frequent allocations, and efficient string building to minimize memory overhead.

How does this skill improve Go error handling?

It implements error wrapping with context using fmt.Errorf and the %w verb, alongside patterns for custom error types and safe checking using errors.Is and errors.As.

Can I use this for complex concurrency tasks?

Absolutely. It includes patterns for worker pools, coordinated goroutines using errgroup, and preventing goroutine leaks with context cancellation.
