Go Create Error

What it does

This skill allows AI agents to create Go error types. It facilitates defining custom error structures with associated data, improving code clarity and enabling more informative error handling within Go applications. The agent can generate error definitions based on provided descriptions or specific requirements.

When to use it

• When you need to define a new type of error for your Go application that includes additional context beyond a simple string message.
• During development when prototyping error handling logic and needing quickly generated error types.
• To standardize error definitions across a project, ensuring consistency in how errors are represented and handled.
• When refactoring existing code to use more structured error representations instead of relying solely on error interface.

Key capabilities

• Generates Go error type definitions based on user input.
• Supports defining custom data associated with the error.
• Facilitates creation of errors for specific application domains.

Example prompts

• "Create a Go error type called 'InvalidInputError' that includes an 'input' field."
• "Generate an error structure for network connection failures, including fields for the target address and port."
• “Define a custom error named ‘PermissionDeniedError’ with a userID associated.”

Tips & gotchas

The agent requires familiarity with Go syntax to interpret requests accurately. Providing clear descriptions of desired error structures will yield better results.
