EGC: Instructions file for Kiro

.kiro/steering/golang-patterns.md

EGC golang-patterns.md is an instructions file for Kiro from Fmarzochi/EGC. It costs 214 tokens per session, scanned A, a copy of ECC golang-patterns.md, Apache-2.0.

A set of guidance for writing Go code using functional options, small interfaces, and dependency injection. Dependency injection means passing services such as repositories or loggers into a component instead of creating them inside it.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when designing Go constructors, interfaces, service dependencies, and package-level code structure.
Why use it?
It gives Go projects consistent patterns for configuration, testing, and keeping components loosely connected.

Instructions file for Kiro

Written for Kiro: installed under .kiro/.

This is Fmarzochi/EGC's own configuration. It tells Kiro how to work on EGC itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything EGC configures →

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

EGC golang-patterns.md 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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to ECC golang-patterns.md — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

What it actually says

Go Patterns

This file extends the common patterns with Go specific content.

Functional Options

type Option func(*Server)

func WithPort(port int) Option {
    return func(s *Server) { s.port = port }
}

func NewServer(opts ...Option) *Server {
    s := &Server{port: 8080}
    for _, opt := range opts {
        opt(s)
    }
    return s
}

Small Interfaces

Define interfaces where they are used, not where they are implemented.

Dependency Injection

Use constructor functions to inject dependencies:

func NewUserService(repo UserRepository, logger Logger) *UserService {
    return &UserService{repo: repo, logger: logger}
}

Reference

See skill: golang-patterns for comprehensive Go patterns including concurrency, error handling, and package organization.

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.
