Help coding agents write Go for your project version
Have a Go coding assistant read the project version before choosing syntax and standard-library APIs.
Choose syntax for the project version
JetBrains’ Go guide directs assistants to read go.mod first, then choose language features and standard-library APIs supported by the target version. This avoids introducing unsupported code into older projects.
Distinguish two version requirements
The project’s target version determines what the code can use. The guide tool’s runtime requirement determines how that tool runs. Check the two separately.

Retained summary and context
Read the project’s Go version first, then give the coding agent matching guidance.
The guidelines do not guarantee agent compliance or replace compilation, static analysis and tests. The installer’s Go requirement is separate from the project version it should respect. We have not tested the results. Star counts and weekly rank reflect attention, not adoption or results.

Read the current JetBrains README for go.mod-based guidance, version-specific language and library recommendations, installation and runtime requirements. Retain the existing pinned document evidence.
Limits: Verified the prescribed behavior, not compliance by any coding model or a comparative code-quality result.
- GitHub weekly TrendingBackground
Provides the project’s discovery and attention record from that GitHub weekly chart observation.
Limits: Shows rank and Star counts at the historical observation only; it does not establish capabilities, adoption, or today’s position.
Directs agents to read go.mod and use language and standard-library features supported by the project version.
Limits: These are instructions, not guaranteed agent compliance. The integration CLI has a separate toolchain requirement.
