Go Generics Best Practices
Implements idiomatic Go generics and type parameters using industry-standard patterns from Google, Uber, and the Go community.
This skill provides Claude with the specialized knowledge required to write clean, performance-oriented Go generics based on production-ready patterns. It guides developers through the critical decision-making process of when to use generics versus interfaces, provides standard naming conventions for type parameters, and explains complex constraint composition. Whether you are building reusable data structures or refactoring utility functions, this skill ensures your Go code remains idiomatic, readable, and avoids common pitfalls like premature generalization or over-constraining types.
