Golang Development

Golang Development is a public marketplace-style plugin containing Codex and Claude skills for building and auditing Go projects.

The plugin is designed for two native agent workflows:

• Build mode: plan, implement, test, lint, build, and deploy Go changes idiomatically.
• Audit mode: review an existing repo, package, diff, service, or release path against the same guidance and report findings first.

Included Skills

• golang-development-workflow: routes broad Go requests into build or audit mode.
• golang-code-audit: findings-first audit workflow for existing Go code.
• golang-planning-layout: module, repo, package, and command layout.
• golang-architecture-patterns: boundaries, dependencies, interfaces, services, adapters, and concurrency.
• golang-implementation-idioms: naming, errors, context, nil handling, generics, comments, and standard library use.
• golang-testing: table tests, subtests, fuzzing, benchmarks, race checks, fakes, and integration boundaries.
• golang-quality-linting: formatting, vetting, static analysis, golangci-lint, security checks, and quality gates.
• golang-build-deploy: build flags, cross-compilation, containers, CI/CD, release metadata, and runtime readiness.

Codex Install

Add this repository as a marketplace, then install the plugin:

codex plugin marketplace add Zate/golang-development
codex plugin add golang-development@golang-development-marketplace

For local development from a checked-out copy:

codex plugin marketplace add C:\path\to\golang-development
codex plugin add golang-development@golang-development-marketplace

Start a new Codex thread after installing or reinstalling so the skill metadata is loaded into the session.

Claude Install

This repository also includes Claude plugin metadata under .claude-plugin/. Add the repository as a Claude plugin marketplace using the Claude Code plugin workflow, then enable golang-development.

Usage Examples

Build-oriented prompts:

Build this Go feature idiomatically and add the right tests.
Refactor this package while preserving the existing Go architecture.

Audit-oriented prompts:

Audit this Go repo against idiomatic Go architecture, testing, and quality guidance.
Review this Go diff for correctness, maintainability, and release readiness.
Find places where this service does not follow the Golang Development guidance.
