What are the requirements for UUID fields?

All UUID fields must include specific null handling tags to prevent migration errors, specifically requiring `default:"null" null:"true"`.

Can I control which fields are public?

Yes, the skill utilizes public:"view|edit" struct tags to determine field visibility and editability in public-facing API endpoints.

Why use 'this' as a method receiver?

Standardizing on 'this' with pointer receivers ensures a consistent code style across the entire project and prevents common bugs associated with value receivers.

How does this skill handle boolean values?

It avoids standard boolean types, instead recommending smallint with 0/1 values for better database consistency and predictability across different SQL engines.

Does this skill support code generation?

Yes, it is designed to work with code generation tools like make_object and make_public_object to ensure manual errors are minimized during model creation.

Enforces standardized Go model definitions and database mapping conventions for robust backend development.

The Backend Model Conventions skill provides a comprehensive framework for defining data models in Go, ensuring consistency across database schemas and application code. It automates the application of strict naming conventions (snake_case), optimizes boolean storage using smallint types, and mandates specific struct tag patterns for migrations and public API visibility. By formalizing method receivers and file organization, this skill helps developers maintain thread-safe, scalable, and highly readable backend architectures while leveraging automated code generation tools.
