# OpenCode Go Support

OpenCode provides specialized support for Go projects, helping you write, refactor, and maintain Go code effectively.

## Go-Specific Features

- Understanding Go project structure and conventions
- Assisting with Go modules and dependency management
- Helping with Go-specific syntax and idioms
- Supporting Go testing practices
- Assisting with Go build tools and commands

## Working with Go Projects

When working on a Go project, OpenCode can help with:

1. **Project Structure Analysis**: Understanding your Go project layout
2. **Code Generation**: Creating Go files with proper structure and imports
3. **Refactoring**: Improving Go code while maintaining functionality
4. **Testing Assistance**: Writing and understanding Go tests
5. **Dependency Management**: Working with Go modules

## Go-Specific Commands

While OpenCode doesn't have Go-specific slash commands, it understands Go context and can assist with:

- Creating and modifying Go source files
- Working with Go test files (*_test.go)
- Managing go.mod and go.sum files
- Understanding Go interfaces and structs
- Assisting with error handling patterns in Go

## Best Practices

When using OpenCode with Go projects:

1. Ensure your project has a proper go.mod file
2. Follow standard Go project layout conventions
3. Use clear, descriptive prompts when asking for Go-specific assistance
4. Leverage OpenCode's understanding of Go idioms and patterns
