The canonical Go project taxonomy, directory layout, logging discipline, the config directory, and config loading. Use when starting a Go project, adding a package or directory, deciding where a file belongs, wiring zerolog, or deciding where a tool keeps its config and credentials. Triggers on go.mod, main.go, cmd/, internal/, pkg/, utils/, internal/server/static/, setupLogs, ConsoleWriter, ~/.config, and on any question of whether a project is CLI Only, Web Only, CLI + Web, a Headless API…

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 Project Layout

**Which of the five Go project types you are in, what its tree looks like, and how it logs and loads config.**

Every other Go convention keys off the project type, so settling the type is the first step of any Go task.

## Project Taxonomy

| Type | What it is | Defining markers |
|---|---|---|
| CLI Only | Terminal tool for users | `cobra`, `utils/`, zerolog, lipgloss/bubbletea/bubbles v2; multi-platform binaries; no Docker |
| Web Only | Web app served from a Go binary, with no real CLI beyond `serve` | `cobra` with a lone `serve` command, embedded frontend at `internal/server/static/`, Docker, no `utils/` |
| CLI + Web | A real CLI tool that also serves a web app from one `serve` subcommand | The full CLI Only stack for the command surface, plus `internal/server/static/` and a `serve` command; Docker |
| Headless API Service | REST or gRPC backend with no frontend | `internal/server` handlers with no `static/`, Docker, no `utils/`; `cobra` only when it needs more than `serve` |
| Library / Module | Importable package with no entry point | No `main.go`, no `cobra`, no `utils/`; exported packages at the module root or under `pkg/`; consumed via `go get` |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add tanq16/claudex/go-project-layout@sha256:d8d09e79ba559020

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260825.865fc73, 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.
