- JetBrains released a plugin to help AI agents Junie and Claude Code write modern Go code.
- AI agents often generate obsolete Go code due to data cutoff and frequency bias in training datasets.
- The plugin ensures AI agents use the latest Go features and best practices based on the version specified in go.mod.
- Example provided shows improvement from manual loop to using slices.Contains() introduced in Go 1.21.
- For Junie, guidelines are applied automatically in version 2xx.620.xx or higher; older versions need an update.
- For Claude Code, users need to install and activate the plugin via specific commands.
- The plugin helps maintain idiomatic and modern Go code, aligning with the Go team's goals.
