Go Coding Standards

Quick Navigation: Level 1: Quick Start (5 min) → Level 2: Implementation (30 min) → Level 3: Mastery (Extended)

Level 1: Quick Start (<2,000 tokens, 5 minutes)

Core Principles

1. Idiomatic Go: Write code that follows Go idioms - simple, clear, and effective
2. Explicit Errors: Return errors explicitly, handle them properly, no exceptions
3. Interfaces: Accept interfaces, return concrete types
4. Concurrency: Goroutines and channels for concurrent operations
5. Testing: Table-driven tests with >80% coverage
