GoLand team open-sources Modern Go Guidelines to keep AI-generated Go code version-matched
↗
GoLand team released Modern Go Guidelines, an open-source set of skills and CLI tool that help AI coding agents write Go code matching the project's declared Go version, covering features from Go 1.0 through 1.27.
AI coding agents often produce outdated Go code because newer features fall outside their training data. These guidelines give agents a version-aware reference, so generated code compiles with the project's go.mod directive and avoids wasting tokens on unsupported features. The tool uses a list/explain progressive disclosure to keep context focused.

Modern Go Guidelines are a set of skills that help AI coding agents write up-to-date Go code that matches the Go version in your project.
The skills cover language features and standard library additions from Go 1.0 through Go 1.27, excluding newer versions when the project uses an older version.
The CLI tool provides list and explain subcommands, with list returning short guidelines and explain giving detailed examples, and the integration requires the Go toolchain and runs from a local cache without modifying the project.
