go-micro CLAUDE.md

A set of project instructions for Claude Code, an AI coding assistant, when working on the Go Micro framework, a Go toolkit for building distributed services. It covers project context, common commands and the main code areas.

In plain words
What is it for?
Running all tests or tests for selected packages, checking code quality, formatting files, building the command-line tool and running Go Micro locally with hot reload.
Why use it?
It gives the coding assistant a shared reference for how to build, test, format and lint the project. This reduces guesswork when running commands or changing parts of the repository.

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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-micro 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 2d 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.

Project Overview

Go Micro is a framework for distributed systems development in Go. It provides pluggable abstractions for service discovery, RPC, pub/sub, config, auth, storage, and more.

The framework is evolving into an AI-native platform where every microservice is automatically accessible to AI agents via the Model Context Protocol (MCP).

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.

go-micro CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository micro/go-micro (23,048 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 2,139 tokens to every session, about $0.0107 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.
