General Guidelines

When recommending libraries:

  • Assess requirements first - Understand the use case, performance needs, and constraints
  • Check standard library - Always consider if stdlib can solve the problem
  • Prioritize maturity - MUST check maintenance status, license, and community adoption before recommending
  • Consider complexity - Simpler solutions are usually better in Go
  • Think about dependencies - More dependencies = more attack surface and maintenance burden

Remember: The best library is often no library at all. Go's standard library is excellent and sufficient for many use cases.

Anti-Patterns to Avoid

  • Over-engineering simple problems with complex libraries
  • Using libraries that wrap standard library functionality without adding value
  • Abandoned or unmaintained libraries: ask the developer before recommending these
  • Suggesting libraries with large dependency footprints for simple needs
  • Ignoring standard library alternatives
