Example Standard
Go
// Standard: Wrap errors with context using fmt.Errorf
// Category: Error Handling
// Avoid
func GetUser(id string) (*User, error) {
user, err := db.Find(id)
if err != nil {
return nil, err
}
return user, nil
}
// Prefer
func GetUser(id string) (*User, error) {
user, err := db.Find(id)
if err != nil {
return nil, fmt.Errorf("GetUser(%s): %w", id, err)
}
return user, nil
}Frequently Asked Questions
Does CodeContext enforce Go conventions like gofmt?
CodeContext does not replace gofmt or golint. It manages higher-level standards like error handling patterns, package structure, interface design, and concurrency conventions that go beyond formatting.
Can I document Go-specific idioms?
Yes. Document your team's preferred patterns for error handling, context usage, goroutine management, and any other Go idioms your team should follow.
How does this help with Go code reviews?
AI assistants connected through MCP can reference your Go standards when reviewing code, catching convention violations that automated tools might miss.
