Description:
Add a specialized coding agent definition in .github/agents/meshkit-code-contributor.md to automate repository-specific workflows. This agent provides expert-level guidance on MeshKit’s internal utilities, specifically the errorutil registry management and strict module hygiene requirements

Outcome:
Error Utility: Automates the update and analysis cycles for error codes via make errorutil and make errorutil-analyze.

Dependency Management: Enforces the use of make tidy with built-in git diff validation to maintain go.mod integrity.

Build/Test Standards: Configures the agent to use repository-specific linting (make check) and unit test flags (-race, -covermode=atomic).

Changes:
Add .github/agents/meshkit-code-contributor.md implementing the above desired state.

This PR fixes #875

Summary of Changes

Hello @1012Charan, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request establishes a new "MeshKit Code Contributor" agent, providing a comprehensive definition for automating and standardizing development practices within the MeshKit Go library. The agent's guidelines cover critical aspects such as consistent error handling, robust dependency management, and adherence to specific build and testing protocols, ultimately aiming to enhance code quality and streamline contributions to the project.

Highlights

  • New Agent Definition: Introduces a new specialized agent, "MeshKit Code Contributor", defined in .github/agents/meshkit-contributor.md, to streamline contributions to the MeshKit Go library.
  • Automated Error Handling: Automates the update and analysis of error codes using make errorutil and make errorutil-analyze commands, ensuring consistency in MeshKit's error framework.
  • Dependency Management Enforcement: Enforces go.mod integrity through make tidy with built-in git diff validation, preventing unintended changes to module files.
  • Standardized Build and Test Workflows: Configures the agent to use repository-specific linting (make check) and unit test flags (-race, -covermode=atomic) for consistent build and test standards.

Code Review

This pull request introduces a new agent definition file, meshkit-contributor.md, for a specialized Go engineering agent. The agent is designed to contribute to the MeshKit repository, focusing on error handling, shared utilities, and build processes. My review focuses on ensuring the accuracy and clarity of this agent definition. I've identified a couple of critical inaccuracies in the Go code examples provided within the agent's documentation, specifically regarding import paths and error code formatting. I've also noted some minor markdown formatting inconsistencies that should be addressed to improve the document's readability. Overall, the agent definition is well-structured, but the corrections are important for the agent to function as intended.

// Use golangci-lint with the repository's .golangci.yml configuration.

// Example: MeshKit-style error definition (pattern adapted from Meshery spec)

The import path github.com/layer5io/meshkit/errors appears to be incorrect for this project. Given that this agent is for the meshery/meshkit repository, the import path should likely be github.com/meshery/meshkit/errors. Using an incorrect import path in this crucial example could lead to confusion and prevent the agent from generating correct code.

Suggested change
import "github.com/layer5io/meshkit/errors"
import "github.com/meshery/meshkit/errors"

import "github.com/layer5io/meshkit/errors"

The example error code ErrExampleCode = "meshkit-1001" contradicts the project's error code convention. The documentation in errors/errors.go specifies that error codes are integers represented as strings (e.g., "11000"). The meshkit- prefix makes this a non-integer string, which could cause issues with the errorutil tool. To ensure consistency, the example should use a numeric string.

Suggested change
ErrExampleCode = "meshkit-1001"
ErrExampleCode = "1001"

This line has a trailing space before the colon. Additionally, there are other formatting inconsistencies in the document that could be improved for readability and standardization:

  • Inconsistent List Indentation: Nested list indentation varies throughout the file (e.g., lines 69-70 use three spaces, while lines 35-37 use two). Using a consistent indentation (e.g., two spaces for all sub-lists) would improve readability.
  • Missing Final Newline: The file is missing a newline character at the end (line 181). It's a standard convention to end files with a newline.
