Effective Go

Formatting: Use gofmt - this is non-negotiable
Naming: No underscores, use MixedCaps for exported names
Error handling: Always check errors; return them, don't panic
Concurrency: Share memory by communicating
Interfaces: Keep small and accept interfaces, return structs
Documentation: Document all exported symbols

Apply best practices and conventions from the official Effective Go guide to write clean, idiomatic Go code.

When to Apply

Use this skill automatically when:

Topic	Description	Reference
Formatting	Always use gofmt - this is non-negotiable	core-formatting
Naming	MixedCaps for exported, mixedCaps for unexported	core-naming
Error Handling	Check errors, return them, don't panic	core-error-handling
Concurrency	Share memory by communicating (use channels)	core-concurrency
Interfaces	Keep small (1-3 methods ideal); accept interfaces, return concrete types	core-interfaces
Documentation	Document all exported symbols	core-documentation
