What are Go documentation standards?

Go documentation standards are a set of conventions (known as godoc) for writing comments in Go source files that tools use to automatically generate documentation and help files.

Does it support package-level documentation?

Yes, it includes specific templates for package-level declarations, usage examples, and comprehensive README structures that follow the Go ecosystem's best practices.

Is the output compatible with pkg.go.dev?

Absolutely. This skill specifically follows the godoc conventions that pkg.go.dev uses to render documentation for the entire Go community.

How does this skill improve my Go code?

It provides Claude with specific patterns and rules for writing Go comments, ensuring your code follows community standards which makes it easier for other developers to understand and use.

Can this skill help with documenting errors?

Yes, one of its core features is providing a standardized way to document what errors a function returns and under what specific conditions those errors occur.

Standardizes Go code documentation using idiomatic godoc conventions and package-level best practices.

关于

This skill provides a comprehensive framework for documenting Go projects according to official godoc standards. It helps developers generate clean, idiomatic documentation for packages, functions, types, and examples while ensuring all exported symbols are properly described. By enforcing consistent formatting and clear explanation patterns, this skill ensures that your Go codebase remains maintainable, readable, and fully compatible with automated tools like pkg.go.dev and internal documentation generators.
