I built a reference Go project (and taught an AI agent to clone it)

The author created a reference Go project structure to answer common questions and make it AI-agent-friendly. The minimal Go HTTP/RPC service with PostgreSQL (a fake bookstore) includes extensive documentation, notably a BOOTSTRAP.md written for AI agents to mechanically scaffold new projects. The article covers the directory layout, design decisions, and the approach of using a Claude Code skill combined with BOOTSTRAP.md for automated project scaffolding.
