Effective Go

Apply best practices and conventions from the official Effective Go guide to write clean, idiomatic Go code.

When to Apply

Use this skill automatically when:

Writing new Go code
Reviewing Go code
Refactoring existing Go implementations

Key Reminders

Follow the conventions and patterns documented at https://go.dev/doc/effective_go, with particular attention to:

Formatting: Always use gofmt - this is non-negotiable
Naming: No underscores, use MixedCaps for exported names, mixedCaps for unexported
Error handling: Always check errors; return them, don't panic
Concurrency: Share memory by communicating (use channels)
Interfaces: Keep small (1-3 methods ideal); accept interfaces, return concrete types
Documentation: Document all exported symbols, starting with the symbol name
