Go documentation conventions — a doc comment on every exported function, struct, type, and package, package comments in a dedicated doc.go for multi-file packages, godoc style (complete sentences beginning with the identifier's name), and LLM-ready CLI reference generation for cobra tools via a docgen helper built on cobra/doc. Use when writing or reviewing doc comments or godoc in Go code, adding a doc.go or writing a package comment for a Go package, documenting an exported Go API, package…

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 documentation conventions

Doc comments are the API's reference manual: godoc, pkg.go.dev, and editors render them, and LLM
coding agents read them to learn an API. These rules say where they go and what they look like;
for the code itself see the `go-style` skill.

## 1. Every exported identifier gets a doc comment

Every exported function, method, struct and other type, interface, and package-level const or var
(or grouped block) carries a doc comment — no exceptions for "obvious" ones. The comment is a
complete sentence that begins with the identifier's name and states what the caller may rely on:

```go
// Parse splits a KEY=VALUE line into its key and value, trimming whitespace
// around both. It returns an error when the separator is missing.
func Parse(line string) (key, value string, err error) {
```

- Start with the name: `// Loader reads …`, never `// This function reads …`.
- Document behavior and invariants, not implementation — what holds true for the caller.
- Mark deprecations with a `Deprecated:` paragraph so tooling can flag callers.

## 2. Package comments live in doc.go

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add bitwise-media-group/skills/go-docs@sha256:5466f1cba7591ed5

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260701.20789e5, 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.
