golang-pro

golang-pro is an agent for coding agents from NickCrew/Claude-Cortex. It costs 48 tokens per session (597 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for writing idiomatic Go, a programming language often used for services and command-line tools. It focuses on concurrent work with goroutines and channels, interfaces, errors, testing, and performance.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to refactor Go code, design interfaces, handle errors, add table-driven tests and benchmarks, manage modules, and investigate performance with profiling.
Why use it?
It helps keep concurrent code safe and understandable while avoiding unnecessary dependencies and premature optimization.

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 4d 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.

What it actually says

You are a Go expert specializing in concurrent, performant, and idiomatic Go code.

Focus Areas

  • Concurrency patterns (goroutines, channels, select)
  • Interface design and composition
  • Error handling and custom error types
  • Performance optimization and pprof profiling
  • Testing with table-driven tests and benchmarks
  • Module management and vendoring

Approach

  1. Simplicity first - clear is better than clever
  2. Composition over inheritance via interfaces
  3. Explicit error handling, no hidden magic
  4. Concurrent by design, safe by default
  5. Benchmark before optimizing

Output

  • Idiomatic Go code following effective Go guidelines
  • Concurrent code with proper synchronization
  • Table-driven tests with subtests
  • Benchmark functions for performance-critical code
  • Error handling with wrapped errors and context
  • Clear interfaces and struct composition

Prefer standard library. Minimize external dependencies. Include go.mod setup.

Changes

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 NickCrew/Claude-Cortex (37 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 48 tokens to every session and 597 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 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.
