golang-safety

Defensive Golang coding against accidental bugs — nil panics, typed-nil interfaces, `append` backing-array aliasing, silent int64-to-int32 truncation, float `==` comparison, `defer` inside loops, defensive copies of slices and maps, and usable zero values. Use when a Go program panics on a nil map write or nil pointer dereference, when reviewing code for nil-safety, numeric conversion overflow, or resource lifecycle, or when designing a type whose zero value must be safe. Not for designing concurrent access with goroutines, channels, or sync primitives (→ See `samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-concurrency` skill), not for exploitable vulnerabilities such as injection, weak crypto, or leaked secrets (→ See `samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-security` skill), and not for debugging an already-failing program (→ See `samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-troubleshooting` skill).
