gopher-ai: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

gopher-ai CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from gopherguides/gopher-ai. It costs 2,519 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of instructions for working on gopher-ai, a collection of Claude Code add-ons focused mainly on Go development. It describes the project layout, its add-ons, and common development workflows.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when changing the gopher-ai repository, its Go development tools, workflow automation, reports, web tools, or Tailwind tools. It also explains the repository's plugin and skill structure.
Why use it?
It gives a coding agent the project context needed to make changes consistently. This reduces confusion about where features live and how the different add-ons fit together.

Written for Claude Code: SessionStart hook event. Also seen: mentions .claude-plugin; mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions subagents.

This is gopherguides/gopher-ai's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on gopher-ai 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 gopher-ai 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

gopher-ai CLAUDE.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 17d 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.

This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.

Project Overview

gopher-ai is a Claude Code plugin marketplace providing Go-focused development tools. It contains seven plugins distributed via the Claude Code plugin system:

  • go-workflow: Issue-to-PR workflow automation with git worktree management
  • go-dev: Go-specific development tools (test generation, linting, code explanation)
  • productivity: Git activity reports (standup, weekly summaries, changelogs, releases)
  • gopher-guides: REST API integration with Gopher Guides training materials
  • llm-tools: Multi-LLM utilities (Ollama, Gemini, Codex delegation, comparisons)
  • go-web: Go web project scaffolding and templUI integration
  • tailwind: Tailwind CSS v4 migration and optimization tools

Architecture

.claude-plugin/
  marketplace.json     # Marketplace manifest listing all plugins

plugins/
  <plugin-name>/
    .claude-plugin/
      plugin.json      # Plugin metadata, version, MCP server config
    commands/          # Slash command definitions (*.md files)
    skills/            # Auto-invoked skill definitions (SKILL.md)
    agents/            # Agent definitions (if any)

Plugin Components

Commands (commands/*.md): Define slash commands with YAML frontmatter specifying:

  • argument-hint: Placeholder shown in command help
  • description: Short description for command list
  • model: Optional rolling model alias (e.g., fable, sonnet, haiku)
  • allowed-tools: Tool restrictions for the command

Skills (skills/*/SKILL.md): Auto-invoked behaviors with YAML frontmatter specifying:

  • description: WHEN/WHEN NOT conditions for activation

MCP Servers use platform-specific manifest paths:

  • Claude Code reads the mcpServers object embedded in plugins/<name>/.claude-plugin/plugin.json.
  • Codex reads plugins/<name>/.codex-plugin/plugin.json, whose mcpServers field points to the plugin-root .mcp.json.
  • Gemini has no checked-in extension manifest. scripts/build-universal.sh copies the plugin-root .mcp.json into the generated gemini-extension.json; plugins without that file receive an empty mcpServers object.
  • OpenCode has no checked-in manifest either. scripts/build-universal.sh builds dist/opencode/ (skills, /<plugin>/<command> commands, subagents, and a runtime copy of each plugin), and scripts/install-opencode.sh installs it into the OpenCode config directory, tracking owned files in gopher-ai/manifest.txt. Hooks and MCP servers are not ported; see docs/opencode.md.

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.
