Go Code Review

This command invokes the go-reviewer agent for comprehensive Go-specific code review.

What This Command Does

1. Identify Go Changes: Find modified .go files via git diff
2. Run Static Analysis: Execute go vet, staticcheck, and golangci-lint
3. Security Scan: Check for SQL injection, command injection, race conditions
4. Concurrency Review: Analyze goroutine safety, channel usage, mutex patterns
5. Idiomatic Go Check: Verify code follows Go conventions and best practices
6. Generate Report: Categorize issues by severity

When to Use

Use /go-review when:

• After writing or modifying Go code
• Before committing Go changes
• Reviewing pull requests with Go code
• Onboarding to a new Go codebase
• Learning idiomatic Go patterns

Review Categories

CRITICAL (Must Fix)

• SQL/Command injection vulnerabilities
• Race conditions without synchronization
• Goroutine leaks
• Hardcoded credentials
• Unsafe pointer usage
• Ignored errors in critical paths

HIGH (Should Fix)

• Missing error wrapping with context
• Panic instead of error returns
• Context not propagated
• Unbuffered channels causing deadlocks
• Interface not satisfied errors
• Missing mutex protection

MEDIUM (Consider)

• Non-idiomatic code patterns
• Missing godoc comments on exports
• Inefficient string concatenation
• Slice not preallocated
• Table-driven tests not used

Automated Checks Run

# Static analysis
go vet ./...

# Advanced checks (if installed)
staticcheck ./...
golangci-lint run

# Race detection
go build -race ./...

# Security vulnerabilities
govulncheck ./...

Example Usage

User: /go-review

Agent:
# Go Code Review Report

## Files Reviewed
- internal/handler/user.go (modified)
- internal/service/auth.go (modified)

## Static Analysis Results
✓ go vet: No issues
✓ staticcheck: No issues

## Issues Found

[CRITICAL] Race Condition
File: internal/service/auth.go:45
Issue: Shared map accessed without synchronization
```go
var cache = map[string]*Session{}  // Concurrent access!

func GetSession(id string) *Session {
    return cache[id]  // Race condition
}

Fix: Use sync.RWMutex or sync.Map

var (
    cache   = map[string]*Session{}
    cacheMu sync.RWMutex
)

func GetSession(id string) *Session {
    cacheMu.RLock()
    defer cacheMu.RUnlock()
    return cache[id]
}

[HIGH] Missing Error Context File: internal/handler/user.go:28 Issue: Error returned without context

return err  // No context

Fix: Wrap with context

return fmt.Errorf("get user %s: %w", userID, err)

Summary

• CRITICAL: 1
• HIGH: 1
• MEDIUM: 0

Recommendation: FAIL: Block merge until CRITICAL issue is fixed

## Approval Criteria

| Status | Condition |
|--------|-----------|
| PASS: Approve | No CRITICAL or HIGH issues |
| WARNING: Warning | Only MEDIUM issues (merge with caution) |
| FAIL: Block | CRITICAL or HIGH issues found |

## Integration with Other Commands

- Use `/go-test` first to ensure tests pass
- Use `/go-build` if build errors occur
- Use `/go-review` before committing
- Use `/code-review` for non-Go specific concerns
