How does it help with large Go projects?

It provides guidance on Go Workspaces (go.work) and interface segregation, making it easier to manage multi-module monorepos and local dependency overrides.

Can it assist with API configuration?

Yes, it provides idiomatic implementations of the Functional Options and Builder patterns, which are the standard for configuring complex Go structs and services.

Does this skill support Go Generics?

Yes, it includes comprehensive patterns for generics, type parameters, and custom type constraints introduced in Go 1.18.

Which version of Go is this skill optimized for?

It is specifically optimized for Go 1.18 and later, incorporating modern features like workspaces, fuzzing, and the latest error-wrapping conventions.
