## When it triggers

- Use this skill when writing new Go code, reviewing or refactoring, choosing between naming alternatives (New vs NewTypeName, isConnected vs connected, ErrNotFound vs NotFoundError, StatusReady vs StatusUnknown at iota 0), debating Go packag
- trigger when the user mentions MixedCaps vs snakecase, ALLCAPS constants, Get-prefix on getters, or error string casing.
- use for general Go implementation questions that don't involve naming decisions.
