Prefer typed constants and named types over magic strings/numbers in Go. Use when writing function signatures, struct fields, switch statements, or passing enum-like values.
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 Type Safety Use typed constants and named types instead of magic strings and numbers. This catches misuse at compile time and makes intent explicit. ## Named String Types for Enums When a value comes from a defined set (e.g. ent-generated enums, config enums), use the named type: ```go // Bad — magic string, no compile-time checking publishStageStatus(ctx, pub, sid, stgID, name, idx, "investigation", status) // Good — typed constant, typos caught at compile time publishStageStatus(ctx, pub, sid, stgID, name, idx, stage.StageTypeInvestigation, status) ``` ## Function Signatures Accept the named type, not `string`, when the parameter is always one of a known set: ```go // Bad — caller can pass any string func publishStageStatus(ctx context.Context, ..., stageType string, status string) // Good — compiler enforces valid stage types func publishStageStatus(ctx context.Context, ..., stageType stage.StageType, status string) ``` Convert to `string` at serialization boundaries (JSON payloads, DB queries, log messages): ```go payload.StageType = string(stageType) ``` ### Warning: Direct Casting Does Not Validate …

How to install
mdr add codeready-toolchain/tarsy/golang-type-safety@sha256:115bd6e1649dffa7The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260304.daa9fb8, 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.
