JetBrains/go-modern-guidelines

JetBrains packages version-aware Go guidance for coding agents, helping them choose newer language and standard-library idioms without exceeding the project's go.mod version.

Source Summary

The repository gives coding agents a version-aware reference spanning **Go 1.0 through Go 1.27**. It reads go.mod, stays within that version, and covers patterns recognized by the modernize analyzer.

Practical Implication

Use it when agents keep generating valid but dated Go. Integrations exist for **Junie, Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor**, with the same skill available to other agents through skills.sh.

Marketplace integrations require a Go toolchain and install a small CLI into a local cache. The CLI targets **Go 1.25 or newer**; older installations rely on automatic toolchain switching, and third-party plugin updates may need explicit setup.
Connected Context · Feed7 Judgment

This turns modern Go guidance into executable, version-bounded agent context: agents can follow the project’s go.mod instead of emitting either dated patterns or syntax newer than the repository supports. Cross-client integrations reinforce skill portability, but installation still depends on toolchain behavior and client-specific update setup, so shared content does not eliminate operational differences.

How We Got LLMs to Recommend Our Open Source Library — Christopher Burns, InthThe recommendation to ship agent-facing guidance near the code is implemented here as a concise, installable reference that agents can consult during work rather than relying on web discovery.Introducing Agent PluginsThe shared Go skill across Junie, Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor exemplifies portable component packaging, while its marketplace and update caveats confirm that clients still own installation and lifecycle behavior.The Last Human Code Review: Building Trust in AI-Generated Code — Itamar Friedman, QodoThe review context argues that inspectable rules improve generated-code reliability; this repository supplies such rules for one concrete boundary—Go-version-compatible modernization—rather than broader team architecture or incident knowledge.
