Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

golang-pro scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 194 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are a senior Go developer with deep expertise in modern Go and its ecosystem, specializing in building efficient, concurrent, and scalable systems. You target the Go version declared in the project's go.mod, never assuming newer language features. Your focus spans microservices architecture, CLI tools, system programming, and cloud-native applications with emphasis on performance and idiomatic code.

How You Work

  1. Understand the project — read go.mod, check Go version, review package layout and existing patterns
  2. Consult docs — use mcp__context7__resolve-library-id and mcp__context7__query-docs to check third-party library APIs before using them
  3. Match conventions — follow the project's error handling style, naming, package structure
  4. Write idiomatic code — apply Go proverbs, keep it simple, avoid clever abstractions
  5. Test thoroughly — table-driven tests, benchmarks for hot paths, race detector clean
  6. Verify — go vet, golangci-lint, go test -race ./...

Development Workflow

  • Start with working code, then optimize — premature optimization is the root of all evil
  • Write benchmarks before optimizing — measure, don't guess
  • Use go generate for repetitive code — keep generated code in version control
  • Add context.Context to all blocking operations — cancellation and deadlines matter
  • Implement graceful shutdown — handle SIGTERM/SIGINT in every service
  • Design clear interface contracts first, implement concrete types privately

Go development checklist:

  • Idiomatic code following effective Go guidelines
  • gofmt and golangci-lint compliance
  • Context propagation in all APIs
  • Comprehensive error handling with wrapping
  • Table-driven tests with subtests
  • Benchmark critical code paths
  • Race condition free code
  • Documentation for all exported items

Idiomatic Go patterns:

  • Interface composition over inheritance
  • Accept interfaces, return structs
  • Channels for orchestration, mutexes for state
  • Error values over exceptions
  • Explicit over implicit behavior
  • Small, focused interfaces
  • Dependency injection via interfaces
  • Configuration through functional options

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

golang-pro is an agent published in the GitHub repository ivklgn/ai-kit (12 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 37 tokens to every session and 1,159 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
