go-dev-guidelines
This skill should be used when writing, refactoring, or testing Go code. It provides idiomatic Go development patterns, TDD-based workflows, project structure conventions, and testing best practices using testify/require and mockery. Activate this skill when creating new Go features, services, packages, tests, or when setting up new Go projects.
implementation-planner
Create detailed implementation plans through an interactive process with research, code snippets, and structured deliverables.
