What I do

I help you write Go code that follows professional style guide conventions based on Google's Go Style Guide. This includes:

Enforcing naming conventions (MixedCaps, mixedCaps)
Applying proper documentation and commentary
Managing imports correctly (grouping, ordering, renaming)
Following formatting rules (gofmt compliant)
Implementing error handling patterns
Writing clear, simple, and maintainable code
Applying concurrency best practices
Structuring packages effectively

When to use me

Use this skill when:

Writing new Go code that should follow style guide conventions
Refactoring existing Go code to match best practices
Reviewing Go code for style compliance
Adding documentation to Go packages, functions, or types
Organizing imports in Go files
Designing APIs and interfaces
Handling errors appropriately

Style Principles

Go style follows these core principles in order of importance:

Clarity - The code's purpose and rationale is clear to the reader
Simplicity - The code accomplishes its goal in the simplest way possible
Concision - The code has a high signal-to-noise ratio
Maintainability - The code can be easily maintained
Consistency - The code is consistent with the broader codebase

Key style rules I enforce

Formatting

All Go source files must conform to

gofmt

output:

bash

gofmt -w .

No fixed line length (prefer refactoring over splitting)
Use
```
MixedCaps
```
or
```
mixedCaps
```
(never snake_case)
Let the code speak for itself when possible

Naming Conventions

Packages:

// Good
package creditcard
package tabwriter
package oauth2

// Bad
package credit_card
package tabWriter
package oAuth2

Functions and Methods:

// Good - avoid repetition with package name
package yamlconfig
func Parse(input string) (*Config, error)

// Bad - repetitive
func ParseYAMLConfig(input string) (*Config, error)

Variables:

Short names in small scopes:
```
i
```
,
```
c
```
,
```
db
```
Longer names in larger scopes:
```
userCount
```
,
```
databaseConnection
```
Avoid type in name:
```
users
```
not
```
userSlice
```

Constants:

// Good
const MaxPacketSize = 512
const ExecuteBit = 1 << iota

// Bad
const MAX_PACKET_SIZE = 512
const kMaxBufferSize = 1024

Initialisms: Keep same case throughout:

// Good
func ServeHTTP(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request)
func ProcessXMLAPI() error
var userID string

// Bad
func ServeHttp()
func ProcessXmlApi()
var userId string

Receiver Names:

Short (1-2 letters)
Abbreviation of type
Consistent across methods

// Good
func (c *Client) Get(url string) (*Response, error)
func (c *Client) Post(url string, body io.Reader) (*Response, error)

// Bad
func (client *Client) Get(url string) (*Response, error)
func (this *Client) Post(url string, body io.Reader) (*Response, error)

Documentation

Package Comments:

// Package math provides basic constants and mathematical functions.
//
// This package does not guarantee bit-identical results across architectures.
package math

Function Comments:

// Good - complete sentence starting with function name
// Join concatenates the elements of its first argument to create a single string.
// The separator string sep is placed between elements in the resulting string.
func Join(elems []string, sep string) string

// Bad
// This function joins strings
func Join(elems []string, sep string) string

Comment Sentences:

Complete sentences for doc comments
Capitalize and punctuate properly
Start with the name being described

Imports

Import Grouping (separated by blank lines):

Standard library packages
Other (project and vendored) packages
Protocol Buffer imports
Side-effect imports

// Good
package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "hash/adler32"
    "os"

    "github.com/dsnet/compress/flate"
    "golang.org/x/text/encoding"

    foopb "myproj/foo/proto/proto"

    _ "myproj/rpc/protocols/dial"
)

Import Renaming:

// Good - clear and descriptive
import (
    foogrpc "path/to/package/foo_service_go_grpc"
    foopb "path/to/package/foo_service_go_proto"
)

// Avoid - unless necessary
import (
    foo "some/really/long/package/path"
)

Never use import dot (except in tests):

// Bad
import . "foo"

// Good
import "foo"

Error Handling

Return errors, don't panic:

// Good
func Open(path string) (*File, error) {
    f, err := os.Open(path)
    if err != nil {
        return nil, fmt.Errorf("open %s: %w", path, err)
    }
    return f, nil
}

// Bad - don't panic on errors
func Open(path string) *File {
    f, err := os.Open(path)
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }
    return f
}

Error strings:

// Good - lowercase, no punctuation
err := fmt.Errorf("something bad happened")

// Bad
err := fmt.Errorf("Something bad happened.")

Handle errors:

// Good
if err := doSomething(); err != nil {
    return fmt.Errorf("failed to do something: %w", err)
}

// Bad - ignoring errors
_ = doSomething()

Indent error flow:

// Good
if err != nil {
    // error handling
    return err
}
// normal code

// Bad - avoid else after error
if err != nil {
    // error handling
} else {
    // normal code
}

Error wrapping:

// Good - use %w to wrap errors for errors.Is/As
return fmt.Errorf("process failed: %w", err)

// Good - use %v when you don't want wrapping
return fmt.Errorf("process failed: %v", err)

Function Design

Keep signatures simple:

// Good - signature on one line
func (r *Reader) Read(p []byte) (n int, err error)

// Good - named results when helpful
func WithTimeout(parent Context, d time.Duration) (ctx Context, cancel func())

// Bad - naked returns in long functions
func Process() (result int, err error) {
    // ... many lines ...
    result = 42
    return // unclear what's being returned
}

Avoid repetition:

// Good
func (c *Config) WriteTo(w io.Writer) (int64, error)

// Bad - repetitive
func (c *Config) WriteConfigTo(w io.Writer) (int64, error)

Nil Slices

Prefer nil slices over empty slices:

// Good
var s []int // nil slice, len=0, cap=0

// Acceptable in most cases
s := []int{} // non-nil empty slice

// Don't force distinction between nil and empty
if len(s) == 0 { // works for both nil and empty
    // ...
}

// Bad
if s == nil { // usually not what you want
    // ...
}

Interfaces

Small interfaces:

// Good - single method interface
type Reader interface {
    Read(p []byte) (n int, err error)
}

// Good - composed interfaces
type ReadWriter interface {
    Reader
    Writer
}

Accept interfaces, return structs:

// Good
func Process(r io.Reader) (*Result, error)

// Avoid unless necessary
func Process(r *os.File) (*Result, error)

Concurrency

Document concurrency:

// Good - document when NOT safe
// Cache stores expensive computation results.
//
// Methods are not safe for concurrent use.
type Cache struct { ... }

// Good - document when safe
// Client is safe for concurrent use by multiple goroutines.
type Client struct { ... }

Context usage:

// Good - context as first parameter
func Process(ctx context.Context, data []byte) error

// Document if context behavior is special
// Run executes the worker's run loop.
//
// If the context is cancelled, Run returns a nil error.
func (w *Worker) Run(ctx context.Context) error

Testing

Table-driven tests:

// Good
func TestParse(t *testing.T) {
    tests := []struct {
        name    string
        input   string
        want    int
        wantErr bool
    }{
        {name: "valid", input: "123", want: 123},
        {name: "invalid", input: "abc", wantErr: true},
    }
    
    for _, tt := range tests {
        t.Run(tt.name, func(t *testing.T) {
            got, err := Parse(tt.input)
            if (err != nil) != tt.wantErr {
                t.Errorf("Parse() error = %v, wantErr %v", err, tt.wantErr)
                return
            }
            if got != tt.want {
                t.Errorf("Parse() = %v, want %v", got, tt.want)
            }
        })
    }
}

Test names:

// Good
func TestParse(t *testing.T)
func TestParse_InvalidInput(t *testing.T)
func TestClient_Get_Success(t *testing.T)

// Bad
func TestParseFunction(t *testing.T)
func Test_Parse(t *testing.T)

Literal Formatting

Field names in structs:

// Good - specify field names for external types
r := csv.Reader{
    Comma: ',',
    Comment: '#',
    FieldsPerRecord: 4,
}

// Good - field names optional for package-local types
okay := LocalType{42, "hello"}

Matching braces:

// Good
items := []*Item{
    {Name: "foo"},
    {Name: "bar"},
}

// Bad - misaligned braces
items := []*Item{
    {Name: "foo"},
    {Name: "bar"}}

Package Design

Package size:

Not too large (thousands of lines in one package)
Not too small (one type per package)
Group related functionality
Standard library is a good example

Avoid utility packages:

// Bad - vague package names
package util
package common
package helper

// Good - specific, focused packages
package cache
package auth
package stringutil

Common Patterns

Options Pattern

// Good - for optional configuration
type Options struct {
    Timeout time.Duration
    Retries int
}

func NewServer(addr string, opts Options) *Server

// Or using functional options
type Option func(*Server)

func WithTimeout(d time.Duration) Option {
    return func(s *Server) {
        s.timeout = d
    }
}

func NewServer(addr string, opts ...Option) *Server

Constructor Pattern

// Good - New for single type in package
package widget
func New() *Widget

// Good - NewX for multiple types
package widget
func NewWidget() *Widget
func NewGizmo() *Gizmo

Cleanup Pattern

// Good - document cleanup requirements
// Open opens a file for reading.
// The caller must call Close when done.
func Open(name string) (*File, error)

// Good - defer for cleanup
f, err := os.Open(filename)
if err != nil {
    return err
}
defer f.Close()

Least Mechanism

Prefer simpler constructs:

Use core language features first (channels, slices, maps, loops)
Then standard library (http.Client, template engine)
Finally, external dependencies (only if necessary)

// Good - use built-in
users := make(map[string]*User)

// Avoid - unless set operations are complex
import "github.com/deckarep/golang-set"
users := mapset.NewSet()

How I work

When you ask me to help with Go code, I will:

Analyze the code for style violations and clarity issues
Suggest specific improvements citing relevant style principles
Rewrite code sections to match professional Go style
Add proper documentation following godoc conventions
Format imports, grouping, and structure correctly
Simplify complex code while maintaining correctness
Apply idiomatic Go patterns and best practices

I prioritize clarity, simplicity, and maintainability. The goal is code that is easy to read, understand, and maintain.
