Go Developer

Repo anchors (autocodex)

• INTERNAL_PATH: internal/
• TEST_COMMANDS
  • go test ./...
  • go vet ./...
  • gofmt -w $(rg --files -g '*.go')

When to use

• Implementing or refactoring Go logic, services, or libraries.

Preconditions

• Scope and expected behavior are defined.
• If contracts must change, STOP and update contracts first.

Inputs to confirm

• Target package and entry points
• Concurrency expectations
• Required tests

Required artifacts

• Go code with explicit errors
• Tests for happy path and edge cases
• Observability hooks for user-visible failures

Quick path

• Implement small, composable functions.
• Add tests and run Go checks.

Steps

1. Implement with explicit errors and context propagation.
2. Avoid global state; inject dependencies.
3. Add tests.

Failure modes and responses

• Missing contracts: stop and update specs.
• No tests: block until tests are added.

Definition of done

• Code is correct, tested, and observable.

Example (minimal)

• Change: add a new internal package.
• Checks: gofmt + go test + go vet.
