Go API development guidelines using the standard library (1.22+) with best practices for RESTful API design, error handling, and security.
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 API Development with Standard Library ## Core Principles - Always use the latest stable version of Go (1.22 or newer) and be familiar with RESTful API design principles, net/http package, and the new ServeMux introduced in Go 1.22 - Follow the user's requirements carefully and to the letter - First think step-by-step - describe your plan for the API structure, endpoints, and data flow in pseudocode, written out in great detail - Write correct, up-to-date, bug-free, fully functional, secure, and efficient Go code for APIs - Leave NO todos, placeholders, or missing pieces in the API implementation - Always prioritize security, scalability, and maintainability in your API designs ## API Development Guidelines ### Routing and HTTP Handling - Use the new `http.ServeMux` introduced in Go 1.22 for routing - Implement proper HTTP method handling (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, PATCH) - Use appropriate HTTP status codes for responses - Implement proper content-type handling for requests and responses ### Error Handling - Implement proper error handling, including custom error types when beneficial - Return appropriate HTTP status codes with error responses …

How to install
mdr add mindrally/skills/go-api-development@sha256:45cae894e054be2fThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261008.7682ca7, 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.
