Go Cursor Rules

Go-Specific Rules

Cursor rules in Go provide intelligent navigation and manipulation capabilities designed specifically for Go development. These rules help you work more efficiently with Go's unique features and language constructs.

Code Navigation

• Navigate between package declarations and imports
• Jump to interface implementations
• Move between struct definitions

Smart Selection

• Select method receivers and interfaces
• Expand selection to include struct fields
• Smart slice and map literal selection

Code Manipulation

• Quick struct and interface insertion
• Automated method receiver handling
• Package and import management

Best Practices

• Use package-aware navigation
• Leverage interface-specific cursor movements
• Utilize struct-aware selection

Examples

// Navigate between interface and implementation
type Reader interface {
    Read(p []byte) (n int, err error)
}

type FileReader struct {
    path string
}

func (f *FileReader) Read(p []byte) (n int, err error) {
    // Implementation
    return len(p), nil
}

// Smart selection of struct fields and methods
type Config struct {
    Host     string `json:"host"`
    Port     int    `json:"port"`
    Timeout  time.Duration
}

func (c *Config) String() string {
    return fmt.Sprintf("%s:%d", c.Host, c.Port)
}

Configuration
