Go Conventions

Quality score: 70/100 · Category: Security · Sub-category: appsec-tools

lang:go

Apply Go project conventions — Go 1.25.x toolchain pinned via toolchain directive and GOTOOLCHAIN=local, vendored deps via go mod vendor, golangci-lint v2 strict (~50 enabled linters), gofmt + goimports, gosec + semgrep + govulncheck + CodeQL static analysis, race-detector + fuzz-capable testing, reproducible-build flags (-trimpath, -buildid=) for TEE-attested binaries, cmd/ + internal/ + pkg/ layout, stdlib-first dependencies (log/slog, net/http, google/uuid, google.golang.org/protobuf). Use when starting a Go project, writing or reviewing Go code, configuring Go tooling, doing TEE-attested or reproducible builds, or evaluating compliance with these defaults. Co-activates with running-tdd-cycles, reviewing-changes, and engineering-philosophy.
