Go Package Architect
Architects idiomatic, production-ready Go package structures and import hierarchies based on industry-standard style guides.
The Go Package Architect skill empowers Claude to structure Go projects using proven patterns distilled from the Google, Uber, and Go Wiki style guides. It provides rigorous guidance on package naming, size optimization, and import organization, helping developers avoid common anti-patterns like generic 'util' packages or global state in init() functions. By enforcing the 'run' pattern for main functions and standardized CLI flag handling, this skill ensures that Go codebases remain testable, maintainable, and aligned with the best practices of the global Go community.
