Idiomatic Golang design patterns

golang-design-patterns is an agent skill from the samber cc-skills-golang collection that guides a coding agent to idiomatic Go design. It covers functional options, constructor APIs, avoiding init functions and global state, enums, the choice between panic and error, and resource management. Its persona is a Go architect who values simplicity and explicitness, and it applies patterns only when they solve a real problem, pushing back on premature abstraction. It has two modes. Design mode is for new APIs, packages or application structure, and it asks about the developer's architecture preference before proposing patterns, favouring the smallest pattern that meets the requirement. Review mode audits existing code for design problems, such as init abuse, unbounded resources, missing timeouts and implicit global state, and reports findings before suggesting refactors. For error handling details, the skill points to the golang-error-handling skill, for context propagation to golang-context, and for struct and interface design to golang-structs-interfaces, all in the same collection. It is listed on skills.sh, where the page shows install counts, GitHub stars and security audit results.
