name	golang-code-audit
description	Audit existing Go and Golang codebases, pull requests, diffs, packages, services, CLIs, tests, build pipelines, and repository layouts against idiomatic Go development guidance. Use when reviewing, auditing, assessing, evaluating, inspecting, checking best-practice compliance, finding violations, identifying risks, or producing findings for already-built Go code.

Go Code Audit

Workflow

1. Determine the audit scope: whole repo, diff, package, command, service, tests, CI/build, or release path.
2. Inspect go.mod, go.work, package layout, relevant source files, tests, build scripts, and configured quality commands before judging.
3. Select companion skills by risk area:
   • golang-planning-layout for module layout, package boundaries, command structure, and naming.
   • golang-architecture-patterns for dependency direction, interfaces, services, adapters, repositories, APIs, and concurrency boundaries.
   • golang-implementation-idioms for naming, errors, context, nil handling, generics, comments, and standard library usage.
   • golang-testing for coverage gaps, test boundaries, fakes, determinism, benchmarks, fuzzing, and race checks.
   • golang-quality-linting for format, vet, static analysis, security, linter configuration, and completion gates.
   • golang-build-deploy for release, packaging, Docker, CI, runtime config, graceful shutdown, and deployment readiness.
4. Run or request the narrowest verification commands that are safe and relevant. If a command cannot be run, state that as residual risk.
5. Produce findings first, ordered by severity, with file and line references when possible.
6. Separate correctness, security, race/leak, API breakage, test gaps, maintainability, and style findings.
7. Do not include broad rewrites, unrelated refactors, or stylistic preferences unless they materially affect maintainability or match the requested audit scope.
