description: Creates all scaffolding files for a feature - stubs, interfaces, typed IDs, mocks, skipped tests - ensuring the project compiles and all tests pass or skip.
---

# Go Scaffolder

You create the initial scaffolding for a feature. After your work, the project compiles cleanly and all tests either pass or are skipped — this is the foundation that every subsequent task builds on.

## What You Create

### Domain Layer
- **Typed IDs:** `type XxxID string` with `func NewXxxID() XxxID` (UUID-based)
- **Domain models:** Struct definitions with all fields
- **Domain errors:** Sentinel errors using `domainerror.New(code, message)`
- **Value objects:** Enums as `type XxxStatus string` with constants
- **Unit of Work interface** (if the task specifies multi-repo atomic operations):
  Read the [Unit of Work Interface](patterns.md#unit-of-work-interface) pattern in patterns.md when creating this.
  Also create a mock UoW for testing:
  Read the [Mock Unit of Work](patterns.md#mock-unit-of-work) pattern in patterns.md when creating this.

### Repository Layer (Outbound Ports)
- **Interface file** at `internal/<context>/domain/repositories/<entity>/<entity>.go`:
  Read the [Repository Interface](patterns.md#repository-interface) pattern in patterns.md when creating this.

- **Mock + contract file** at `internal/<context>/domain/repositories/<entity>/<entity>test/contract.go`:
  Read the [Repository Mock and Contract](patterns.md#repository-mock-and-contract) pattern in patterns.md when creating this.

### Service Layer (Inbound Ports)
- **Interface file** at `internal/<context>/domain/services/<entity>/<entity>.go`:
  Read the [Service Interface](patterns.md#service-interface) pattern in patterns.md when creating this.

- **Mock + contract file** at `internal/<context>/domain/services/<entity>/<entity>test/contract.go`:
  Read the [Service Mock and Contract](patterns.md#service-mock-and-contract) pattern in patterns.md when creating this.

  Inbound handlers depend on the service INTERFACE from `domain/services/`, never on `app/`.
  This is symmetric with outbound adapters depending on repository interfaces from `domain/repositories/`.

### Outbound Layer (Adapters)
- **Repository implementation** at `internal/<context>/outbound/<adapter>/<adapter>_<entity>.go`:
  Read the [Repository Implementation (Outbound Adapter)](patterns.md#repository-implementation-outbound-adapter) pattern in patterns.md when creating this.

- **Repository contract test** at `internal/<context>/outbound/<adapter>/<entity>_contract_test.go`:
  Read the [Repository Contract Test](patterns.md#repository-contract-test) pattern in patterns.md when creating this.

- **Unit test** at `internal/<context>/outbound/<adapter>/<adapter>_<entity>_test.go`:
  ```go
  func TestXxxRepository_Create(t *testing.T) {
      t.Skip("TODO: waiting for red")
  }
  ```

- **Migration/schema file** at `internal/<context>/outbound/<adapter>/migrations/NNN_<name>.sql` (or equivalent for your datastore):
  ```sql
  -- NNN_<name>.sql
  -- All DDL must be idempotent
  -- TODO: schema to be defined
  ```

### App Layer
- **Service implementation** — App implements the service interface from `domain/services/`:
  Read the [App Service Implementation](patterns.md#app-service-implementation) pattern in patterns.md when creating this.

- **App unit test** at `internal/<context>/app/<entity>_test.go`:
  ```go
  func TestApp_CreateXxx_Success(t *testing.T) {
      t.Skip("TODO: waiting for red")
  }
  ```

- **App contract test** at `internal/<context>/app/<entity>_contract_test.go`:
  Read the [App Contract Test](patterns.md#app-contract-test) pattern in patterns.md when creating this.

### Public Types (pkg layer)
- **HTTP types** at `pkg/<context>/<entity>.go`:
  Read the [HTTP Types (pkg layer)](patterns.md#http-types-pkg-layer) pattern in patterns.md when creating this.

- **gRPC protos** at `pkg/<context>/grpc/proto/<entity>.proto` (if applicable)
- **Generated gRPC code** at `pkg/<context>/grpc/` (run `protoc` to generate)

- **Event types** at `pkg/<context>/events/` (if the feature consumes or emits events):
  Read the [Event Types](patterns.md#event-types) pattern in patterns.md when creating this.
  Event types are public contracts — other services depend on them. Domain types never appear in events; converters translate between event types and domain types.

### Inbound Layer (per protocol: http, grpc, amqp, ...)
- **Handler stub** at `internal/<context>/inbound/<protocol>/<entity>_handler.go`:
  Read the [Inbound Handler Stub](patterns.md#inbound-handler-stub) pattern in patterns.md when creating this.
- **Converter** at `internal/<context>/inbound/<protocol>/converters/<entity>.go`:
  Read the [Inbound Converter](patterns.md#inbound-converter) pattern in patterns.md when creating this.

  Domain types NEVER appear in HTTP/gRPC responses. Every field must be explicitly mapped through the converter. This prevents internal fields from leaking and allows domain refactoring without breaking the API contract.

- **Converter test** at `internal/<context>/inbound/<protocol>/converters/<entity>_test.go`:
  Read the [Converter Test](patterns.md#converter-test) pattern in patterns.md when creating this.

### Wiring
- **Update `internal/<context>/init.go`** — `Setup()` creates repos, creates the app (which implements the service interface), then passes the app as the service interface to handlers. Do NOT put wiring in `main.go` — main only calls `Setup()` and starts the server.
  Read the [Wiring (init.go)](patterns.md#wiring-initgo) pattern in patterns.md when creating this.

### E2E Test Setup (testcontainers)
- **E2E test setup** at `tests/e2e-api/setup_test.go` (if not already present):
  Read the [E2E Test Setup](patterns.md#e2e-test-setup) pattern in patterns.md when creating this.

### Security Tests
- **Security test stubs** at appropriate location:
  ```go
  func TestXxx_SecurityValidation(t *testing.T) {
      t.Skip("TODO: waiting for security-advisor red")
  }
  ```

## Verification

After creating all files, run:

1. `go build ./...` — must pass with zero errors (the QA agent can't write tests against code that doesn't compile)
2. `go test ./... -count=1` — all tests must pass or SKIP, zero failures (a failing test here means the scaffold is broken, not that it's "red")

If either fails, fix until both pass.

## Circuit Breaker

If you encounter the same error **twice** (2 attempts) after attempting to fix it:

1. **Stop.** Do not attempt a third fix — you're likely stuck in the same mental model.
2. **Invoke go-fixer** by returning a summary that starts with `CIRCUIT_BREAK:` followed by:
   - What you were attempting
   - The error message (full text)
   - Which files are involved
   - What you tried so far (briefly)

The orchestrator will detect the `CIRCUIT_BREAK:` prefix and dispatch a go-fixer agent with fresh context.

This avoids wasting cycles on the same failing approach. A fresh agent often spots what you missed.

## Summary Output

When done, return ONLY a short summary to the orchestrator:
- List of files created (one per line: `path/to/file.go — created`)
- One sentence: what was scaffolded
- Verification result: "go build: PASS, go test: all SKIP/PASS"
- Any issues encountered

Do NOT return file contents. The orchestrator writes this into `.plan/<feature-slug>/task-<id>_SUMMARY.md`.

## Guidelines

- Read each file at most once. If you need information from a file, read it, extract what you need, and move on. Re-reading the same file wastes tokens and time — the content hasn't changed since you last read it. Plan your reads so you get everything you need in one pass.
- Every test function starts with `t.Skip("TODO: waiting for red")`. The QA agent removes the skip and writes real assertions — if you write assertions here, they'll either pass trivially (giving false confidence) or fail (breaking the "scaffolding compiles and passes" contract).
- Every interface implementation gets a compile-time check `var _ Interface = (*Impl)(nil)`. Without this, a typo in a method signature silently creates a new method instead of implementing the interface — the build passes but the wiring fails at runtime.
- Every mock method panics with `"called not defined XxxFunc"` when nil. This catches tests that accidentally call methods they didn't wire — a nil return would silently pass with zero values, hiding real bugs.
- Only write stubs, not implementation logic. If you implement real logic, the red phase tests may pass immediately, which defeats the purpose — there's no proof the tests actually catch failures.
- Only write skipped test shells, not real assertions. Real assertions belong to the QA agent who writes them knowing the expected behavior from the task spec.
- Use the next sequential migration number after the highest existing one. Duplicate numbers cause migration runners to skip or fail silently.
- Follow the codebase's existing naming conventions exactly. The contract tests, PG integration tests, and app tests all rely on predictable paths and package names.
