Use when writing Go code that returns, wraps, or handles errors — choosing between sentinel errors, custom types, and fmt.Errorf (%w vs %v), structuring error flow, or deciding whether to log or return. Also use when propagating errors across package boundaries or using errors.Is/As, even if the user doesn't ask about error strategy. Does not cover panic/recover patterns (see go-defensive).
This skill does not declare a tool allowlist. The agent host applies whatever default tools are available at runtime.
