Why Samoa?

• Immediate CI: Push and your workflows run—no setup required
• Consistent tooling: Every zoobz-io package uses the same linter config, coverage targets, and release process
• Security by default: gosec, CodeQL, and security-focused linters enabled from day one
• Test infrastructure ready: Helpers, integration tests, and benchmarks structured and waiting

The Zoobz-io Ecosystem

All zoobz-io Go libraries use samoa as their foundation. When standards evolve, updates propagate from here.
