Go (Golang) naming conventions — covers packages, constructors, structs, interfaces, constants, enums, errors, booleans, receivers, getters/setters, functional options, acronyms, test functions, and subtest names. Use this skill when writing new Go code, reviewing or refactoring, choosing between naming alternatives (New vs NewTypeName, isConnected vs connected, ErrNotFound vs NotFoundError, StatusReady vs StatusUnknown at iota 0), debating Go package names (utils/helpers anti-patterns), or…

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

> **Community default.** A company skill that explicitly supersedes `samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-naming` skill takes precedence.

# Go Naming Conventions

Go favors short, readable names. Capitalization controls visibility — uppercase is exported, lowercase is unexported. All identifiers MUST use MixedCaps, NEVER underscores.

> "Clear is better than clever." — Go Proverbs
>
> "Design the architecture, name the components, document the details." — Go Proverbs

To ignore a rule, just add a comment to the code.

## Quick Reference

| Element | Convention | Example |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Package | lowercase, single word, \_test suffix OK for test files | `json`, `http`, `tabwriter`, `http_test` |
| File | lowercase, underscores OK | `user_handler.go` |
| Exported name | UpperCamelCase | `ReadAll`, `HTTPClient` |
| Unexported | lowerCamelCase | `parseToken`, `userCount` |
| Interface | method name + `-er` | `Reader`, `Closer`, `Stringer` |
| Struct | MixedCaps noun | `Request`, `FileHeader` |
| Constant | MixedCaps (not ALL_CAPS) | `MaxRetries`, `defaultTimeout` |
| Receiver | 1-2 letter abbreviation | `func (s *Server)`, `func (b *Buffer)` |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add yzfly/skills/golang-naming@sha256:c10970f88199b8e8

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.1.1, 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.
