go-development SKILL.md skillA
go-development from netresearch/go-development-skill is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add netresearch/go-development-skill/go-development@v1.16.5Pins v1.16.5 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Use when developing Go applications, implementing job schedulers or cron (netresearch/go-cron, ofelia), Docker API integrations, LDAP/AD clients, building resilient services with retry logic, setting up Go test suites (unit/integration/fuzz/mutation), or running golangci-lint.
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 Development Patterns
## Core Principles
### Type Safety
- **Avoid:** `interface{}` (use `any`), `sync.Map`, scattered type assertions, reflection
- **Prefer:** Generics `[T any]`, `errors.AsType[T]` (Go 1.26), concrete types
- Run `go fix ./...` after upgrades
### Consistency
- One pattern per problem domain
- Match existing codebase patterns
- Refactor holistically or not at all
- Config precedence: defaults < config file < env vars < flags
### Testing
- Build tags isolate test tiers: unit (default), `integration`, `e2e`
- Always use `t.Parallel()`, `t.Helper()`, table-driven subtests
- Use `log/slog` directly -- never wrap it in custom Logger interfaces
### Conventions
- Naming: ID, URL, HTTP (not Id, Url, Http) — not tool-enforced (ST1003 is off by default)
- Error wrapping: `fmt.Errorf("failed to process: %w", err)`

How to install
mdr add netresearch/go-development-skill/go-development@sha256:d2826a1c7abe839eThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.16.5, 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.
