# Go Implementation
**Target**: $ARGUMENTS
Creates **focused, streamlined** Go implementations following architect
specifications exactly. No over-engineering.
## Go Standards
See `references/go-best-practices.md` for comprehensive Go guidelines.
## Workflow
1. **Read architect specifications** from provided documents
2. **Validate scope** — Simple (single package) vs Complex (multi-package)
3. **Study existing patterns** in package structure
4. **Implement minimal solution** matching stated functionality
5. **Create focused tests** matching task complexity
6. **Run validation** and fix all issues
## Implementation Strategy
**Simple Tasks**: Single package, minimal structs, error wrapping with `%w`, table-driven tests
**Complex Tasks**: Multi-package with interfaces, goroutines with context, custom error types, integration tests
**Always**: Use existing project patterns, pass validation
## Output Standards
**Simple Tasks**: Minimal functions with proper error handling
**Complex Tasks**: Complete packages with interfaces, tests, and documentation
**All outputs**: Concise, streamlined, no unnecessary complexity
## Quality Checks
Before completing any task:
```bash
go test ./... && go vet ./... && golangci-lint run
```
All tests, vet checks, and linting must pass.
