What Golang Error Handling does

Golang Error Handling provides guidance for creating, wrapping, inspecting, and logging errors in Go, covering sentinel errors, custom types, errors.Is/As, errors.Join, panic/recover, and structured logging. Use it when writing, reviewing, or auditing Go error handling code to avoid swallowed errors and duplicate logs.

Golang Error Handling is cataloged under Quality on DirSkills. Golang Error Handling comes from a repository tagged agent, agent-skills, ai, antigravity and claude.

Modes:
