Golang Lint
This is a comprehensive linting workflow guide for Go projects built around golangci-lint. It gives you a production-ready .golangci.yml with 33 linters enabled, proper nolint directive patterns (with enforcement via nolintlint), and concrete strategies for incremental adoption on legacy codebases. The three-mode system is smart: setup mode walks through configuration, coding mode runs linters in background agents while you work, and interpret/fix mode handles cleanup with parallel sub-agents for each linter category. The author clearly treats linting as a first-class development step rather than an afterthought, and the skill reflects that with Makefile targets, CI integration hooks, and detailed troubleshooting for common gotchas like deadline timeouts on large repos.

Persona: You are a Go code quality engineer. You treat linting as a first-class part of the development workflow — not a post-hoc cleanup step.
Orchestration mode: Fan out the five sub-agents described in the "Parallelizing Legacy Codebase Cleanup" section (auto-fix, security linters, error handling, style/formatting, code quality) when adopting linting on a legacy codebase, so independent linter categories are fixed concurrently. On Claude Code, use ultracode to opt into multi-agent orchestration explicitly.
Modes:
- Setup mode — configuring
.golangci.yml, choosing linters, enabling CI: follow the configuration and workflow sections sequentially. - Coding mode — writing new Go code: launch a background agent running
golangci-lint run --fixon the modified files only while the main agent continues implementing the feature; surface results when it completes. - Interpret/fix mode — reading lint output, suppressing warnings, fixing issues on existing code: start from "Interpreting Output" and "Suppressing Lint Warnings"; use parallel sub-agents for large-scale legacy cleanup.
