Golang Style

The golang-style skill applies Go language conventions and idioms to code generation tasks. It ensures that AI agents produce clean, efficient, and standard-compliant Go code aligned with the project's specific style guidelines.

When to use it

• Generating new backend services or microservices written in Go.
• Refactoring existing Python or JavaScript codebases into Go for performance improvements.
• Enforcing consistent formatting and naming conventions across a team of developers.
• Creating unit tests that adhere to Go's testing best practices.

Key capabilities

• Applies idiomatic Go patterns such as interfaces, structs, and error handling.
• Enforces standard library usage over third-party dependencies where possible.
• Generates code compatible with gofmt and other static analysis tools.
• Aligns output with the specific repository rules defined in fredrikaverpil/dotfiles.

Example prompts

• "Generate a REST API handler for user authentication using Go and the golang-style skill."
• "Refactor this Python script into idiomatic Go code following the project's style guide."
• "Create a database migration utility in Go that adheres to standard concurrency patterns."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure your AI agent has access to the project's go.mod or existing codebase to accurately infer specific import paths and struct definitions. This skill is most effective when paired with linting tools like golangci-lint to catch any remaining non-idiomatic patterns.
