golang-code-style SKILL.md skillA

golang-code-style from samber/cc-skills-golang is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add samber/cc-skills-golang/golang-code-style@v1.3.0

Pins v1.3.0 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Golang code style conventions — line length and breaking, variable declarations, control flow clarity, when comments help vs hurt. Use when writing or reviewing Go code, asking about style or clarity, or establishing project coding standards. Not for naming conventions (→ See `samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-naming` skill), linter configuration (→ See `samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-lint` skill), or doc comments (→ See `samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-documentation` skill).

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

**Orchestration mode:** Fan out the sub-agents described in the "Parallelizing Code Style Reviews" section, each covering an independent style concern, when reviewing code style across a large codebase, and merge their findings. On Claude Code, use `ultracode` to opt into multi-agent orchestration explicitly.

> **Community default.** A company skill that explicitly supersedes `samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-code-style` skill takes precedence.

# Go Code Style

Style rules that require human judgment — linters handle formatting, this skill handles clarity. For naming see `samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-naming` skill; for design patterns see `samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-design-patterns` skill; for struct/interface design see `samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-structs-interfaces` skill.

> "Clear is better than clever." — Go Proverbs

When ignoring a rule, add a comment to the code.

## Line Length & Breaking

No rigid line limit, but lines beyond ~120 characters MUST be broken. Break at **semantic boundaries**, not arbitrary column counts. Function calls with 4+ arguments MUST use one argument per line — even when the prompt asks for single-line code:

```go

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add samber/cc-skills-golang/golang-code-style@sha256:1c53d6b8405fc299

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.3.0, 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.
