Go Idiomatic Design Patterns
Implements idiomatic Go patterns, best practices, and robust implementation guidelines for building efficient and maintainable applications.
The golang-patterns skill serves as a comprehensive guide for developers using Claude Code to write high-quality Go code. It enforces core language philosophies such as simplicity over cleverness, making zero values useful, and the 'accept interfaces, return structs' principle. By providing standardized patterns for error handling with context, advanced concurrency models like worker pools and errgroup, and structural designs like functional options, this skill ensures that generated Go code is production-ready, performant, and follows community-accepted conventions.
