Golang Error Handling

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This is a Go error-handling guidance skill; its broad coding permissions are disclosed and fit its purpose.

Install this for Go projects where you want an agent to write, review, or audit error handling. It can edit repository files, run Go/git-related commands, and launch audit sub-agents, so use it only where that level of repository access is acceptable.
