Does this skill support the latest Go 1.26 features?

Yes, it includes guidelines for Go 1.26, such as using expressions inside new() and the more type-safe errors.AsType function.

How does the skill determine which Go features to use?

The skill automatically detects your project's Go version by inspecting the go.mod file. It will only suggest or implement features that are compatible with that specific version.

Can this help me replace manual loops with the slices package?

Absolutely. One of the primary functions of this skill is to replace manual iterations with modern slices and maps package functions like slices.Contains, slices.Sort, and maps.Keys.

Is it safe to use on production code?

Yes, the skill follows official Go release notes and JetBrains' modern Go guidelines to ensure suggested patterns are idiomatic and performance-optimized.

What happens if my project doesn't have a go.mod file?

If the Go version cannot be detected, the skill will ask you to provide a target version (e.g., 1.23 or 1.25) so it can apply the correct guidelines.
