How does this skill improve Go project structure?

It provides templates and guidance for standard directory layouts, such as separating binaries in cmd/ and private logic in internal/.

Is this skill compatible with go.mod?

Absolutely. The skill is automatically activated when a go.mod file is detected, ensuring all advice is context-aware for modular Go projects.

Does it support Go's concurrency model?

Yes, it offers specific patterns for goroutines, channel communication, select statements, and context-based cancellation to prevent leaks.

Can it help with writing Go tests?

It guides you in creating table-driven tests, using subtests (t.Run), and implementing benchmarks to ensure code reliability and performance.
