Overview

Go Coding Style

This file extends common/coding-style.md with Go specific content.

Formatting

  • gofmt and goimports are mandatory — no style debates

Design Principles

  • Accept interfaces, return structs
  • Keep interfaces small (1-3 methods)

Error Handling

Always wrap errors with context:

if err != nil {
    return fmt.Errorf("failed to create user: %w", err)
}

Reference

See skill: golang-patterns for comprehensive Go idioms and patterns.
