100 Go Rules

Use this skill as a compact rule engine, not as a book to read end-to-end.

Selection and operating baseline

Select this global reference for material Go-language or quality decisions. It complements a specialist skill when needed; specialists do not invoke it mechanically.
Locate the target module's go.mod before applying version-dependent guidance. Use its go directive for language semantics when present.
When no target module or go directive is available, use Go 1.26 as the fallback baseline. Do not describe that fallback as a discovered project version.
Treat user-specified version constraints as authoritative.
Read references/version-notes-go1.26.md when a finding touches version-sensitive behavior or the project targets a version other than 1.26.
Prefer current Go semantics, compiler/runtime evidence, and standard-library behavior over historical advice.
