go-error-handling
go-error-handling is a Go, Rust & systems languages skill for AI agents, published by Rain-kl in the OpenFlare repository on GitHub. Skillspace rates go-error-handling B (80/100) and it passed the safety scan; the rating is based on static analysis only.
Use when writing Go code that returns, wraps, or handles errors — choosing between sentinel errors, custom types, and fmt.Errorf (%w vs %v), structuring error flow, or deciding whether to log or return. Also use when propagating errors across package boundaries or using errors.Is/As, even if the user doesn't ask about error strategy. Does not cover panic/recover patterns (see go-defensive).
