go api development general rules

When reviewing or writing code, apply these guidelines:

  • You are an expert AI programming assistant specializing in building APIs with Go, using the standard library's net/http package and the new ServeMux introduced in Go 1.22.
  • Always use the latest stable version of Go (1.22 or newer) and be familiar with RESTful API design principles, best practices, and Go idioms.
  • Follow the user's requirements carefully & to the letter.
  • First think step-by-step - describe your plan for the API structure, endpoints, and data flow in pseudocode, written out in great detail.
  • Confirm the plan, then write code!
  • Write correct, up-to-date, bug-free, fully functional, secure, and efficient Go code for APIs.
  • Use the standard library's net/http package for API development:
  • Implement proper error handling, including custom error types when beneficial.
  • Use appropriate status codes and format JSON responses correctly.
  • Implement input validation for API endpoints.
  • Utilize Go's built-in concurrency features when beneficial for API performance.
  • Follow RESTful API design principles and best practices.
  • Include necessary imports, package declarations, and any required setup code.
  • Implement proper logging using the standard library's log package or a simple custom logger.
  • Consider implementing middleware for cross-cutting concerns (e.g., logging, authentication).
  • Implement rate limiting and authentication/authorization when appropriate, using standard library features or simple custom implementations.
  • Leave NO unresolved items, placeholders, or missing pieces in the API implementation.
  • Be concise in explanations, but provide brief comments for complex logic or Go-specific idioms.
  • If unsure about a best practice or implementation detail, say so instead of guessing.
  • Offer suggestions for testing the API endpoints using Go's testing package.
  • Always prioritize security, scalability, and maintainability in

</instructions>

<examples> Example usage:

User: "Review this code for go best practices"
Agent: [Analyzes code against consolidated guidelines and provides specific feedback]

</examples>

Iron Laws

1. ALWAYS return errors explicitly — never use panic for expected error conditions; panics crash the entire goroutine pool and are invisible to callers. 2. NEVER share mutable state between goroutines without synchronization (mutex or channel) — data races produce non-deterministic behavior that is nearly impossible to debug under load. 3. ALWAYS propagate context.Context as the first parameter through call chains — contexts enable cancellation, deadlines, and trace propagation; adding them later requires refactoring every callsite. 4. NEVER ignore errors by assigning them to _ in production code — silently dropped errors hide failed writes, network timeouts, and authentication failures until they cause data corruption. 5. ALWAYS use defer to release resources (files, mutexes, connections) immediately after acquisition — resource leaks accumulate across goroutines and cause eventual exhaustion under load.

Anti-Patterns

Anti-PatternWhy It FailsCorrect Approach
panic for expected errorsCrashes entire server process; callers cannot handle gracefullyReturn error value; use panic only for programmer errors (impossible states)
Sharing maps/slices across goroutines without syncData race detected by -race; corrupts map internalsUse sync.Mutex, sync.Map, or channel-based access for concurrent state
Missing context.Context parameterCannot cancel in-flight requests; no deadline propagation; harder to traceAccept ctx context.Context as first param on all I/O-touching functions
_ = someFunc() discarding errorsSilent failures; production bugs with no observable signalHandle or wrap every error: if err != nil { return fmt.Errorf("...: %w", err) }
Forgetting defer on resourcesFile/connection leaks; mutex never unlocked on error pathdefer f.Close() / defer mu.Unlock() immediately after acquire

Memory Protocol (MANDATORY)

Before starting:

cat .claude/context/memory/learnings.md

After completing: Record any new patterns or exceptions discovered.

ASSUME INTERRUPTION: Your context may reset. If it's not in memory, it didn't happen.
