Commands

• Test all: go test ./... -race
• Test package: go test ./mcp -v or go test ./server -v
• Test single: go test -run TestName ./package -v
• Coverage: go test -coverprofile=coverage.txt -covermode=atomic $(go list ./... | grep -v '/examples/' | grep -v '/testdata' | grep -v '/mcptest' | grep -v '/server/internal/gen')
• Lint: golangci-lint run (uses .golangci.yml config)
• Generate: go generate ./... (regenerates hooks and request handlers)

Git

• Verified commits: When possible, make verified (signed) commits using GPG, SSH, or S/MIME signing keys

Code Style

• Imports: Standard library first, then third-party, then local packages (goimports handles this)
• Naming: Use Go conventions - exported names (PascalCase), unexported names (camelCase), acronyms uppercase (HTTP, JSON, MCP)
• Error handling: Return sentinel errors (e.g., ErrMethodNotFound), wrap with fmt.Errorf("context: %w", err), use errors.Is/As for checking
• Types: Use explicit types; avoid any except for protocol flexibility (e.g., Arguments any); prefer strongly-typed structs
• Comments: All exported types/functions MUST have godoc comments starting with the name; no inline comments unless necessary
• Testing: Use testify/assert and testify/require; table-driven tests with tests := []struct{ name, ... }; test files end in _test.go
• Context: Always accept context.Context as first parameter in handlers and long-running functions
• Thread safety: Use sync.Mutex for shared state; document thread-safety requirements in comments
• JSON: Use json tags with omitempty for optional fields; use json.RawMessage for flexible/deferred parsing
