# golang Plugin

Go language discipline: conventions, idioms, error handling, concurrency, testing, toolchain practices, and LSP-powered

code intelligence via `gopls`.

## Skills

- **`golang`** — Go language conventions, idioms, error handling, concurrency patterns, project structure, testing,

toolchain (go mod, golangci-lint), and LSP navigation rules

- **`templ`** — templ (a-h/templ) type-safe HTML templating: syntax, components, attributes, styling, CSS/JS

integration, and testing

+ - **`charm-tui`** — Charmbracelet v2 TUI stack (`charm.land/*/v2`): Bubble Tea Elm architecture, Bubbles components, Lip

+ Gloss styling/layout, Huh forms, Glamour markdown, fang/log, at-scale architecture (crush patterns), golden-file and

+ teatest testing

- **`zog`** — Zog schema validation library: schema definition, parsing, validation, error handling, HTTP/JSON/env

integration, custom tests, and transforms

## LSP Integration

This plugin ships a `gopls` LSP server configuration (`.lsp.json`). When installed, Claude Code automatically connects

to `gopls` for `.go` files, enabling LSP tools (`goToDefinition`, `findReferences`, `hover`, `workspaceSymbol`, etc.).

The `golang` skill enforces LSP-first navigation: agents must use LSP tools for semantic code navigation (finding

definitions, references, implementations, call hierarchies) instead of falling back to Grep/Glob pattern matching. Text

search tools remain appropriate for non-semantic searches (comments, string literals, config values).

**Prerequisite:** Users must have `gopls` installed and available in PATH.

## Skill Dependencies

The `golang` skill provides language-specific conventions. The `templ` skill extends those conventions to `.templ` files

- and references `golang` error handling and naming rules. The `zog` skill is standalone — it covers the Zog validation

- library API and patterns, deferring to `golang` for general Go conventions.

+ and references `golang` error handling and naming rules. The `zog` and `charm-tui` skills are standalone — they cover

+ their library stacks (Zog validation; Charmbracelet v2 TUI), deferring to `golang` for general Go conventions.

All skills assume the `the-coder` plugin for language-agnostic coding discipline (discovery, planning, verification).

## Plugin Scope

This plugin covers Go language specifics and Go-specific tooling like templ and gopls. Language-agnostic coding

practices (discovery, planning, verification) are provided by the `the-coder` plugin. Platform-specific concerns

(backend, CLI) are provided by their respective platform plugins.

## Conventions

- Go code prioritizes simplicity and explicitness over abstraction

- Error handling is mandatory — never discard errors with `_`

- Interfaces are defined consumer-side, not producer-side

- LSP tools are required for code navigation — Grep/Glob only for non-semantic text search

- All `.templ` files must be compiled with `templ generate` before building

- Generated `*_templ.go` files must be committed to version control
