What This Skill Does

This configuration sets up Aider to work effectively with Go projects by:

Instructions

When this configuration is active, follow these patterns:

1. **Test Execution**

- Before making changes, ensure tests pass: `/usr/bin/make test`

- After code modifications, verify tests still pass

- If tests fail, analyze output and fix issues before proceeding

2. **Code Formatting**

- Apply Go formatting automatically using `go fmt`

- Ensure all modified Go files follow standard formatting conventions

- Formatting runs as part of the linting step

3. **Project Context**

- Read AGENTS.md at the start of each session to understand project-specific patterns, conventions, and architecture

- Reference this context when making decisions about code structure and implementation approaches

4. **Commit Management**

- Manual commit control is enabled (auto-commits disabled)

- Review changes carefully before committing

- Write descriptive commit messages that explain the "why" of changes

5. **Workflow Pattern**

```

1. Read AGENTS.md for project context

2. Make code changes

3. Run go fmt (automatic via lint-cmd)

4. Run tests via make test
