How do I activate the go-patterns skill?

The go-patterns skill is auto-activated by Claude whenever you are working with .go files, providing real-time guidance as you code.

What error handling patterns does it support?

It promotes idiomatic Go error handling, including the use of errors.Is and errors.As for comparison and fmt.Errorf with the %w verb for wrapping context.

Does it provide help with Go concurrency?

Yes, it includes implementation patterns for goroutines, channels, worker pools, and using context for graceful cancellation and timeout management.

Can this skill help optimize Go performance?

Certainly. The skill provides patterns for sync.Pool to reduce GC pressure, strings.Builder for efficient concatenation, and slice pre-allocation techniques.

What testing styles are supported?

The skill emphasizes industry-standard table-driven tests and provides specific patterns for testing HTTP handlers using httptest.

API Development

Enforces idiomatic Go development through robust error handling, concurrency patterns, and clean architectural standards.

The go-patterns skill optimizes Go development by providing Claude with a deep understanding of idiomatic 'Golang' practices. It focuses on critical areas such as context-aware error handling, efficient concurrency models using errgroups and worker pools, and consumer-driven interface design. By automating the application of these patterns, the skill ensures that Go projects are built for high performance, maintainability, and scalability, helping developers avoid common pitfalls like data races, goroutine leaks, and improper interface usage.
