Define an exported sentinel with `errors.New`, then wrap lower-level errors with context and check via `errors.Is`.
```go
package repository
import (
"errors"
"fmt"
)
var ErrNotFound = errors.New("not found")
func (r *Repo) Get(id string) (*Item, error) {
item, err := r.load(id)
if err != nil {
if errors.Is(err, ErrNotFound) {
return nil, fmt.Errorf("get item %q: %w", id, err)
}
return nil, fmt.Errorf("get item %q: %w", id, err)
}
return item, nil
}
```
If your repository maps another source error like `sql.ErrNoRows`, convert it once at the boundary:
```go
if errors.Is(err, sql.ErrNoRows) {
return nil, fmt.Errorf("load item %q: %w", id, ErrNotFound)
}
```
And callers should check it like:
```go
if errors.Is(err, repository.ErrNotFound) {
// handle missing record
}
```
Avoid comparing `err.Error()` strings. Use `errors.Is` so wrapping keeps working.
