go-development

A Claude Code skill for writing Go code that holds up in production.

Covers error handling, interface design, testing, concurrency, resilience, and tooling. Each pattern includes the reasoning behind it, not just the code.

Based on patterns from gogcli by Peter Steinberger and Effective Go.
