- Apply Go best practices, idioms, and conventions from golang.org/doc/effective_go. Use when writing, reviewing, or refactoring Go code to ensure idiomatic, clean, and efficient implementations.
Applying 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

- Standard Library: Use as reference for idiomatic patterns

VerifiedTrustedCommunity
Create implementation plans directly from user requirements when no reviewed RFC is available or the user explicitly declines RFC-first planning. Decomposes work into self-contained sub-plans with full iterative multi-agent plan review.

VerifiedTrustedCommunity
Decompose large efforts directly from user requirements when no reviewed RFC is available or the user explicitly declines RFC-first epic planning. Produces a persistent epic plan with rich feature descriptions that feed into planning-project-features separately.
