Go 1.24–1.27 coding guidelines for the dimetron/pi-go AI agent runtime. Use this skill whenever writing, reviewing, or refactoring ANY Go code in pi-go. This covers idiomatic style, error handling, concurrency, project layout, testing (table-driven, fuzz, benchmarks, synctest), new stdlib usage, golangci-lint v2 configuration, slog logging, and manual dependency injection with functional options. Always consult this skill before generating Go code for pi-go, even for small snippets, to ensure…
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 1.24–1.27 Coding Guidelines — pi-go
**Project**: `github.com/dimetron/pi-go` — Go-native AI coding agent runtime
**Layout**: `cmd/pi/` · `internal/` · `.pi-go/` · `.vibe/compiled/` · `scripts/`
**Min version**: Go 1.24 (tool directive support) | Target: Go 1.27
> For what Go 1.27 changed — generic methods, struct-literal field selectors,
> `encoding/json/v2`, the stdlib `uuid` package, removals that break a build, and the
> `GOEXPERIMENT=none` trap on this machine — see the **`go-127`** skill.

## 1. Style & Naming
### Packages
- Short, lowercase, singular, no underscores: `config` ✓ `agentUtils` ✗
- No stutter: package `agent` → `type Runner` (not `AgentRunner`)
- Never `util`, `common`, `types`, `helpers`
### Identifiers
- Receivers: 1–2 chars from type name, consistent across all methods, never `self`/`this`
- Acronyms full caps: `ID`, `URL`, `HTTP`, `LLM` — enforced by staticcheck
- Short names in small scopes (`i`, `ctx`, `err`), descriptive in large scopes
```go
// ✓ Correct
func (r *Runner) Execute(ctx context.Context) error { ... }
func (r *Runner) Stop() { ... }
// ✗ Wrong

How to install
mdr add dimetron/pi-go/code-guidelines-go@sha256:2988e1289657510aThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260827.17116f1, 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.
