About this skill

Skill: Go project conventions

Goal

Provide a standard Go workflow with module caching, linting, security checks, and tests driven by Make.

Make targets (recommended)

  • make deps -> go mod download + install golangci-lint and gosec if missing
  • make vet -> go vet ./...
  • make lint -> golangci-lint run --timeout=5m
  • make security -> gosec ./...
  • make test -> go test -v -race -coverprofile=coverage.out ./...
  • make check -> make vet && make lint

When not to use it

  • When not working with Go projects
  • When not using Make for project automation

Limitations

  • Requires Make for execution
  • Assumes a Go project structure
  • Relies on specific tools like golangci-lint and gosec

How it compares
