Golang Stay Updated

Golang ecosystem watch list — official sources (go.dev/blog, pkg.go.dev, tour.golang.org, golang-nuts), newsletters (Golang Weekly, Awesome Go Newsletter), communities (r/golang, gophers.slack.com, Go Forum, go.dev/wiki), blogs (Dave Cheney, Ardan Labs, Rob Pike), YouTube channels (Gopher Academy, GopherCon EU/UK), conferences, and Go contributors to follow on GitHub, X and Bluesky. Use when seeking Golang learning resources, discovering new libraries or tools, finding community channels or meetups, picking Go people to follow, or keeping up with Go language changes and releases. Not for querying a specific module's versions, docs, or vulnerabilities from the CLI (→ See `samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-pkg-go-dev` skill).

Golang Code Style

Golang code style conventions — line length and breaking, variable declarations, control flow clarity, when comments help vs hurt. Use when writing or reviewing Go code, asking about style or clarity, or establishing project coding standards. Not for naming conventions (→ See `samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-naming` skill), linter configuration (→ See `samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-lint` skill), or doc comments (→ See `samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-documentation` skill).

Golang Testing

Production-ready Golang tests — table-driven tests, testify suites and mocks, parallel tests, fuzzing, fixtures, goroutine leak detection with goleak, snapshot testing, code coverage, integration tests, idiomatic test naming. Use when writing or reviewing Go tests, choosing a testing approach, setting up Go test CI, or debugging flaky/slow tests. For testify-specific APIs see `samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-stretchr-testify`; for measurement methodology see `samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-benchmark`.

Golang Error Handling

Idiomatic Golang error handling — creation, wrapping with %w, errors.Is/As, errors.Join, custom error types, sentinel errors, panic/recover, the single handling rule, structured logging with slog, HTTP request logging middleware, and samber/oops for production errors. Built to make logs usable at scale with log aggregation 3rd-party tools. Apply when creating, wrapping, inspecting, or logging errors in Go code. For samber/oops specifics → See `samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-samber-oops` skill; for slog handler ecosystem → See `samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-samber-slog` skill.
