How does it handle Go error patterns?

It enforces the 'Handle OR Return' rule to prevent duplicate logging and promotes the use of standard library error wrapping and joining.

What testing methodologies does it promote?

It focuses on table-driven tests for better coverage, the use of the Go race detector, and proper implementation of test helpers using t.Helper().

Can it help with project structure?

Yes, it provides specific guidance on standard directory layouts (cmd, internal, pkg) and enforces strict Go package naming conventions.

Does this skill support Bazel projects?

Yes, it automatically detects Bazel environments and uses specific commands for building, testing, and managing dependencies via Gazelle instead of standard Go tools.

API Development

Streamlines Go development with idiomatic patterns, multi-build system support, and automated linting and testing workflows.

This skill provides comprehensive guidance for building production-grade Go applications by enforcing industry-standard best practices. It automatically detects and manages various build systems—including the standard Go toolchain, Bazel, and Makefiles—ensuring commands remain consistent across different project architectures. By promoting idiomatic Go patterns such as structured logging with slog, sophisticated error wrapping, and table-driven testing, it helps developers maintain high code quality. Additionally, it streamlines complex tasks like dependency management with Gazelle and advanced linting configurations to ensure your Go codebase remains clean, performant, and maintainable.
