For Go developers who want clarity rules a linter cannot enforce, such as early returns and named conditions. Skip it if you want naming or linter setup, which sibling skills cover.

What does golang-code-style do?
golang-code-style is a skill by samber with Go style rules that need judgment rather than a formatter. It breaks lines past about 120 characters at meaningful points, puts each argument on its own line once a call has four or more, and uses var for zero values and := otherwise. Slices and maps must be initialized, composite literals must name fields, errors return early, and needless else blocks go. Conditions with three or more parts become named booleans. Functions stay short with at most four parameters. For large reviews it splits the work across up to five sub-agents, one per concern, and merges their findings.
When should you use golang-code-style?
