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
# SOTA Go (2026) Expert-level rules for producing and auditing production Go. Target a supported Go release: Go supports the two latest majors (1.25 left support when 1.27 shipped, 2026-08) — verify the supported pair at go.dev/doc/devel/release. Feature notes: loop-var scoping from 1.22, `b.Loop`/`os.Root`/tool directives from 1.24, `testing/synctest` and container-aware GOMAXPROCS from 1.25, `errors.AsType` and the default-on Green Tea GC from 1.26, the GA `goroutineleak` profile and `encoding/json` backed by v2 from 1.27 — noted where relevant. Every rule states the *why*; every rules file ends with an audit checklist of grep/vet/lint patterns. ## Purpose Two consumers, one source of truth: - **BUILD mode** — generating new Go code: follow the rules as defaults, not suggestions. Deviate only with an explicit comment justifying it. - **AUDIT mode** — reviewing existing Go code: hunt violations using the audit checklists, classify by severity, report in the finding format below. ## BUILD mode 1. Before writing code, read the rules files relevant to the task (see index). A service touching HTTP + DB + goroutines needs `03`, `04`, `05`. …

How to install
mdr add martinholovsky/sota-skills/sota-golang@sha256:0f4a5cfbd04af785The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261026.808c340, 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.
