Go Function Design

When this skill does NOT apply: For functional options constructors (WithTimeout, WithLogger), see go-functional-options. For error return conventions, see go-error-handling. For naming functions and methods, see go-naming.

Function Grouping and Ordering

Organize functions in a file by these rules:

1. Functions sorted in rough call order
2. Functions grouped by receiver
3. Exported functions appear first, after struct/const/var definitions
4. NewXxx/newXxx constructors appear right after the type definition
5. Plain utility functions appear toward the end of the file

type something struct{ ... }
