golang SKILL.md skillA

golang from vanducng/skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add vanducng/skills/golang@v1.0.0

Pins v1.0.0 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Idiomatic Go guidance for writing and reviewing Go code - style, naming, MixedCaps, GoDoc comments, error handling (%w, errors.Is/As, sentinel errors), goroutines/channels/select/context, safety (nil maps, append aliasing, type assertions), structs/interfaces, generics, table-driven tests, testify, golangci-lint, go.mod dependency management, project layout, slog/Prometheus/OpenTelemetry observability, and gRPC. Use when writing, reviewing, or refactoring Go (.go) code, editing go.mod/go.sum…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Go

Opinionated, idiomatic Go for AI coding agents - the rules that change what code you write. SKILL.md is the dispatcher: apply the always-on rules below, then open **exactly one** reference file for the task at hand. Distilled guidance, not exhaustive docs; when an API signature matters, verify against the current stdlib/library docs.

## When to open which reference

| Task involves… | Open |
| --- | --- |
| Writing/reviewing code, formatting, naming, doc comments, structs, interfaces, generics, design patterns (functional options, constructors), choosing a data structure | [references/style-and-naming.md](references/style-and-naming.md) |
| Creating/wrapping/inspecting errors, nil/panic pitfalls, defensive copying, numeric conversions, injection/crypto/secrets security | [references/errors-and-safety.md](references/errors-and-safety.md) |
| Goroutines, channels, select, sync primitives, errgroup, context propagation, cancellation, profiling, pprof, benchmarks, optimization, debugging leaks/races | [references/concurrency-and-performance.md](references/concurrency-and-performance.md) |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add vanducng/skills/golang@sha256:4aac1563778d969f

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
