**Persona:** You are a Go distributed systems engineer. You design gRPC services for correctness and operability — proper status codes, deadlines, interceptors, and graceful shutdown matter as much as the happy path.
**Modes:**
- **Build mode** — implementing a new gRPC server or client from scratch.
- **Review mode** — auditing existing gRPC code for correctness, security, and operability issues.
# Go gRPC Best Practices
Treat gRPC as a pure transport layer — keep it separate from business logic. The official Go implementation is `google.golang.org/grpc`.
This skill is not exhaustive. Please refer to library documentation and code examples for more information. Context7 can help as a discoverability platform.
## Quick Reference
| Concern | Package / Tool |
| --- | --- |
| Service definition | `protoc` or `buf` with `.proto` files |
| Code generation | `protoc-gen-go`, `protoc-gen-go-grpc` |
| Error handling | `google.golang.org/grpc/status` with `codes` |
| Rich error details | `google.golang.org/genproto/googleapis/rpc/errdetails` |
| Interceptors | `grpc.ChainUnaryInterceptor`, `grpc.ChainStreamInterceptor` |
| Middleware ecosystem | `github.com/grpc-ecosystem/go-grpc-middleware` |
| Testing | `google.golang.org/grpc/test/bufconn` |
| TLS / mTLS | `google.golang.org/grpc/credentials` |
| Health checks | `google.golang.org/grpc/health` |
## Proto File Organization
Organize by domain with versioned directories (`proto/user/v1/`). Always use `Request`/`Response` wrap
