How does it handle request validation?

It utilizes struct tags and validation patterns to ensure incoming JSON payloads meet required specifications before they reach your business logic.

Does this skill support specific Go routers?

Yes, it focuses on implementation patterns using the Chi router, which is a lightweight, idiomatic choice for Go HTTP services.

Can I use this for production-grade microservices?

Absolutely. The patterns include best practices like context-aware handlers, graceful shutdown logic, and standardized error handling suitable for production environments.

Does it include security features?

It provides boilerplate for authentication middleware and CORS configuration that can be customized to fit your specific security requirements.
