Tool Categories
Gopher AI includes both Go-specific and general-purpose tools:
Go-Specific Tools
These modules are designed specifically for Go development:
| Module | Focus |
|---|
| go-dev | Go testing, linting, and code explanation |
| go-workflow | Issue-to-PR workflow with git worktrees |
| go-web | Go web app scaffolding (Go + Templ + HTMX + Tailwind) |
| gopher-guides | Go best practices from Gopher Guides training materials |
General-Purpose Tools
These modules work with any language or stack:
| Module | Focus |
|---|
| productivity | Standup reports, changelogs, release management |
| llm-tools | Multi-LLM delegation and comparison |
| tailwind | Tailwind CSS v4 tooling (init, migrate, audit, optimize) |
Available Modules
go-workflow
Issue-to-PR workflow automation with git worktree management.
| Command | Description |
|---|
/start-issue <number> | Start working on an issue (auto-detects bug vs feature) |
/address-review [PR] | Address PR review comments, make fixes, reply, and resolve |
/create-worktree <number> | Create a new git worktree for a GitHub issue |
/commit | Create a git commit with auto-generated message |
/remove-worktree | Interactively select and remove a git worktree |
/prune-worktree | Batch cleanup of all completed issue worktrees |
The /start-issue command handles the full issue-to-PR workflow:
- Fetches issue details including all comments
- Offers worktree creation for isolated work
- Auto-detects issue type (bug →
fix/ branch, feature → feat/ branch)
- Routes to appropriate TDD or implementation workflow
The /address-review command automates PR review handling:
- Addresses feedback from human and bot reviewers
- Auto-resolves review threads after fixes
- Requests re-review only from reviewers who actually left feedback on the PR (including bots such as Codex, CodeRabbit, and Greptile when applicable)

Go-specific development tools with idiomatic best practices.
| Command | Description |
|---|
/test-gen <target> | Generate comprehensive Go tests with table-driven patterns |
/lint-fix [path] | Auto-fix Go linting issues with golangci-lint |
/explain <target> | Deep-dive explanation of Go code with diagrams |
productivity
Standup reports and git productivity helpers.
