Go Naming

What it does

This skill enables AI agents to generate idiomatic Go identifiers that strictly adhere to language conventions. It ensures variable, function, and package names follow standard casing rules, such as using lowercase with underscores for variables and camelCase for exported symbols.

When to use it

• You need to generate code snippets where variable or function names must comply with Go style guides.
• An agent is writing a new Go module and requires properly capitalized package declarations.
• You want to refactor existing logic by suggesting valid Go naming patterns for specific contexts.
• Generating documentation examples that demonstrate correct identifier usage in Go files.

Key capabilities

• Generates lowercase names with underscores for local variables and functions.
• Applies camelCase conventions for exported identifiers (public symbols).
• Ensures package names follow the all-lowercase standard.
• Produces naming suggestions that align with gofmt and goimports expectations.

Example prompts

• "Write a Go function to calculate Fibonacci numbers using snake_case for the variable holding the sequence."
• "Create a public struct named User in Go, ensuring all exported fields follow camelCase conventions."
• "Generate a package declaration for a logging utility that adheres to standard Go naming rules."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure your prompts explicitly mention the specific type of identifier (e.g., variable, function, or package) to get the correct casing style. While this skill focuses on syntax correctness, it does not validate semantic meaning or logic within the generated code.
