Go SDK Specialist Skill

Overview

This skill specializes in developing idiomatic Go SDKs with proper module versioning, context-based cancellation, and Go-style error handling patterns.

Capabilities

Design Go SDK architecture with proper module structure
Implement context-based cancellation and timeouts
Apply Go error handling patterns with wrapped errors
Configure go.mod versioning following semver
Design functional options pattern for configuration
Implement interface-based design for testability
Configure proper logging with structured output
Support concurrent operations safely

Target Processes

Multi-Language SDK Strategy
SDK Architecture Design
SDK Testing Strategy

Integration Points

Go modules (go.mod)
go test with testify
golangci-lint for code quality
pkg.go.dev for documentation
goreleaser for releases

Input Requirements

API specification
Module path (e.g., github.com/org/sdk)
Minimum Go version
Concurrency requirements
Error handling preferences

Output Artifacts

Go module source code
go.mod and go.sum files
Test files (*_test.go)
Examples in examples/ directory
README with installation instructions
GoDoc-compatible documentation

Usage Example

skill:
  name: go-sdk-specialist
  context:
    apiSpec: ./openapi.yaml
    modulePath: github.com/myorg/sdk-go
    goVersion: "1.21"
    useGenerics: true
    errorWrapping: true
    functionalOptions: true

Best Practices

Use functional options for configuration
Accept interfaces, return structs
Make zero values useful
Handle errors explicitly with wrapping
Use context.Context for cancellation
Keep packages focused and small
