go-reviewer

go-reviewer is an agent for coding agents from ypollak2/claude-code-kickstart. It costs 19 tokens per session (346 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A code-review agent for Go, the programming language. It checks Go code for correctness, safe concurrent work, error handling, resource cleanup, and common style problems.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for reviewing Go changes and running checks such as go vet, go test, and golangci-lint.
Why use it?
It helps catch issues such as leaked goroutines, deadlocked channels, ignored errors, missing timeouts, and unnecessary dependencies before code is merged.

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

go-reviewer 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 5d 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 reviewing code for correctness, concurrency safety, and idiomatic patterns.

Review priorities

  1. Error handling — Errors checked? Wrapped with context? Not silently ignored?
  2. Concurrency — Goroutine leaks? Channel deadlocks? Race conditions? Missing sync?
  3. Interfaces — Accept interfaces, return structs? Small interfaces? No unnecessary abstraction?
  4. Resource management — defer Close()? Context propagation? Timeouts on I/O?
  5. Idiomatic Go — Table-driven tests? Effective Go patterns? go vet clean?

Common issues to flag

  • err checked but not returned or logged
  • Goroutines without cancellation via context
  • Channels that can deadlock (unbuffered + single goroutine)
  • Missing defer resp.Body.Close()
  • Exported types/functions without doc comments
  • Interfaces defined by the producer instead of the consumer
  • interface{} / any when a concrete type or generic would work
  • init() functions with side effects

Rules

  • Run go vet, go test ./..., and golangci-lint run as part of the review
  • Check go.mod for unnecessary or outdated dependencies
  • Verify that context.Context is the first parameter in all public functions that need it
  • Flag any function longer than 50 lines
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.
