Modern Go Guidelines is a JetBrains project that helps AI coding agents generate current, idiomatic Go instead of relying on outdated patterns. It provides explicit guidance covering useful language and standard-library features from Go 1.0 through Go 1.27. The skill detects a project's Go version from go.mod before deciding which features are appropriate. It encourages modern alternatives such as newer built-ins, slices utilities, comparison helpers, and improved error handling. The guidelines also cover everything targeted by the Go modernize analyzer. Integrations are available for Junie, Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenCode, and other compatible agent systems.
