Use when writing, reviewing, or refactoring Go code; when handling errors (fmt.Errorf, %w, sentinel, errors.Is, errors.As); when deciding between panic, error return, and log.Fatal; when writing tests (table-driven, t.Helper, t.Fatal vs t.Error, goroutines); when designing API surface (option struct, variadic options, channel direction, context); when naming functions, methods, packages, receivers, or test doubles; when laying out packages and imports; when initializing variables or building strings.

This skill is a derivative digest, not a verbatim reproduction._ Codifies the [Google Go Style Guide](https://google.github.io/styleguide/go) (canonical + normative + best-practices) into actionable rules. The full guide is large. This file holds only what should be in your head **on every Go change**. For deeper rules, load the matching `references/*.md`. For unusual situations, WebFetch the source — the guide is normative. ## Quick Rules Apply on every line of Go you write or review. ### Naming - **No `Get` prefix on getters.** `User()`, not `GetUser()`. Exception: the underlying concept *is* "get" (HTTP GET). - **Don't repeat the package name** in identifiers. `bytes.Buffer`, not `bytes.BytesBuffer`. `widget.New`, not `widget.NewWidget`. - **Receiver names: 1–2 letters, abbreviation of the type, consistent across all methods.** Never `this`, `self`, `me`, or `_` (unless unused). `func (c *Config)`, not `func (config *Config)`. - **Initialisms keep one case.** `URL`, `ID`, `HTTP`, `DB`. Exported: `UserID`, `ServeHTTP`. Unexported: `userID`, `urlPath`. Never `Url`, `Id`, `Http`. - **Test doubles end in `Stub` / `Fake` / `Spy` / `Mock`** (or describe behaviour: `AlwaysCharges`, `AlwaysDeclines`). - **No `util` / `common` / `helper` / `model` package names.** They invite import ren
