Golang project layout and workspace setup

golang-project-layout is an agent skill from the samber cc-skills-golang collection for setting up the layout and workspace of a Go project. It covers cmd, internal and pkg directory conventions, module and package naming, go.work workspaces and essential configuration. Its persona is a Go project architect who right-sizes the structure to the problem: a script stays flat, and a service gets layers only when its complexity justifies them. The skill asks questions one at a time and waits for each answer. First it asks which architecture the developer prefers, such as clean architecture, hexagonal, domain-driven design or a flat structure, because avoiding over-structuring small projects is a priority. Then it asks which dependency injection approach to use: manual constructor injection, a library such as samber do, google wire or uber dig and fx, or none at all. The skill explains that this choice shapes how services are wired and how lifecycle matters such as health checks and graceful shutdown are handled. For applications, it follows the twelve-factor app conventions: configuration from environment variables, logs to stdout, stateless processes, graceful shutdown, backing services as attached resources, and admin tasks as one-off commands. The skill suits teams starting a new Go project who want the structure settled deliberately rather than copied from a template. It is listed on skills.sh, where the page shows install counts and GitHub stars for the collection. Its Gen Agent Trust Hub audit is marked as a warning, while Socket and Snyk pass.
