Go Linting

Core Principle

More important than any "blessed" set of linters: lint consistently across a codebase.

Consistent linting helps catch common issues and establishes a high bar for code quality without being unnecessarily prescriptive.

Resource Routing

• scripts/setup-lint.sh - Run when generating a .golangci.yml, validating the first lint pass, or producing JSON metadata.
• assets/golangci.yml - Use as the v2 golangci-lint baseline for established projects.

Setup Procedure

1. Create .golangci.yml with scripts/setup-lint.sh or copy assets/golangci.yml
2. Run golangci-lint run ./...
3. If errors appear, fix them category by category (formatting first, then vet, then style)
4. Re-run until clean
