Golang Fullstack Best Practices (Meta-Skill)

Comprehensive code review skill coordinating 9 specialized domain skills for Go backend services using GORM with PostgreSQL.

v3.0.0: The "Ultimate Merger" release. Unified 89 rules across Go language and Database layers.

Available Skills

Go Language Domains

1. Concurrency Safety — Goroutines, channels, race conditions.
2. Clean Architecture — Layered architecture, gRPC, dependency rules.
3. Design Patterns — Code smells, GoF patterns, refactoring.
4. Idiomatic Go — Go conventions, interface design, pointers.

Database Layer Domains

5. GORM Query Patterns — ORM queries, transactions, context.
6. PostgreSQL Syntax — Raw SQL, Postgres-specific functions, quoting.
7. Query Performance — N+1 detection, indexing, connection pooling.
8. Migration Safety — Zero-downtime schema changes, rollbacks.

Unified Core

9. Error Handling — Combined Go error patterns + PostgreSQL error codes.

Rule Count by Priority

Priority	Count	Focus
CRITICAL	20	Bugs, crashes, data loss, SQL injection
HIGH	30	Reliability, performance, architecture
MEDIUM	34	Quality, idioms, maintainability
ARCH	5	Clean Architecture compliance
TOTAL	89

Unified Routing Logic

- Concurrency/Channels/Goroutines → concurrency-safety
- Layers/gRPC/Usecases/Dipendencies → clean-architecture
- Complex logic/Refactoring/Code smells → design-patterns
- Pointer usage/Interfaces/Idioms → idiomatic-go
- DB Errors/Postgres codes/errors.Is/As → error-handling
- GORM queries/db.Find/Transactions → gorm-query-patterns
- Raw SQL/Pg-specific functions/Syntax → postgresql-syntax
- Slow queries/Indexes/N+1/Pool → query-performance
- ALTER TABLE/AutoMigrate/Rollback → migration-safety
- Full Audit → all 9 skills

How to Use

For Full Audit

"Review this Go service for all language and database best practices"

For Targeted Reviews

"Audit this repository file for GORM query performance and N+1 issues" "Review these goroutines for race conditions and context leaks" "Is this database migration safe for production?"
