golang-patterns
Idiomatic Go patterns, best practices, and conventions for building robust
by affaan-mFree
Description
golang-patterns is an agent skill from the ECC collection by affaan-m, listed on skills.sh. It sets out idiomatic Go practice for building robust, efficient and maintainable applications. Its first principle is simplicity and clarity, since Go favours plain code over cleverness and the aim is code that is obvious to read. The skill applies when an agent is writing new Go code, reviewing or refactoring existing code, or designing packages and modules. It is built around the conventions the Go community expects, so an agent following it produces code that reads like other Go code. Because it is a SKILL.md file of instructions, the agent loads it only when the task involves Go and then follows the same practice each time. It is free and open source, and the skills.sh listing shows all three security audits passing.…
