Go — review checklists

Consumed by the review-code skill. When the go profile is active, every checklist in Always load is applied to the diff. Conditional entries are loaded when their trigger matches.

Always load

• solid-checklist.md — SOLID design-principle smells expressed in Go terms: package cohesion, interface segregation, dependency inversion, composition over inheritance.
• removal-plan.md — staged-removal template for Go code being retired (exports, packages, modules).

Always load

• security.md — Security in Go follows the principle of defense in depth: protect at multiple layers, validate all inputs, use secur
• code-style.md — Style rules that require human judgment — linters handle formatting, this skill handles clarity. For naming see `sambe
• error-handling.md — This skill guides the creation of robust, idiomatic error handling in Go applications. Follow these principles to write

Conditional

• security-injection-ref.md — Injection vulnerabilities allow attackers to execute arbitrary code, queries, or commands. Load if: Diff handles user input, SQL queries, command execution, or template rendering
• naming.md — Go favors short, readable names. Capitalization controls visibility — uppercase is exported, lowercase is unexported. Load if: Diff introduces new exported types, functions, or packages
• performance.md — 1. Profile before optimizing — intuition about bottlenecks is wrong ~80% of the time. Use pprof to find actual hot Load if: Diff involves hot paths, allocations, caching, or performance-sensitive code
• database.md — Go's database/sql provides a solid foundation for database access. Use sqlx or pgx on top of it for ergonomics — Load if: Diff imports database/sql, sqlx, gorm, ent, or pgx
• concurrency.md — Go's concurrency model is built on goroutines and channels. Goroutines are cheap but not free — every goroutine you sp Load if: Diff uses goroutines, channels, or sync package
• grpc.md — Treat gRPC as a pure transport layer — keep it separate from business logic. The official Go implementation is `google Load if: Diff imports google.golang.org/grpc
