A Claude Code skill that loads Go error-handling conventions into an AI agent: error creation, wrapping with %w, errors.Is/As/Join, sentinel and custom errors, panic/recover, the single handling rule, slog structured logging, HTTP logging middleware, and samber/oops. It bundles reference files on error creation, handling, and wrapping and is aimed at making logs usable at scale with log aggregation tools.
Reach for it when you want an agent to write or audit Go error handling that follows one consistent, idiomatic style instead of ad-hoc patterns.
Use it to
- Guide creation and wrapping of errors in Go code
- Audit error handling across a codebase with parallel sub-agents
- Set up slog structured logging and HTTP request logging middleware
- Apply samber/oops for production error context
- Enforce rules like never discarding errors with _
