A set of project instructions for developing and testing an unofficial Go software development kit for the Claude Code command-line tool. It also documents the related Python SDK compatibility requirement.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when working on the Go SDK to build packages, run tests and race checks, measure coverage, format code, run static analysis, and follow specific test patterns.
Why use it?
It gives contributors consistent commands and checks for building, testing, formatting, and reviewing the code before commits.

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

claude-agent-sdk-go CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 22d 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.

Runs shell commandslowCapability

Expected in a hook, worth knowing in a rule or an instructions file.

Overview

Claude Agent SDK for Go - Unofficial Go SDK for Claude Code CLI integration. Provides programmatic interaction through Query() (one-shot) and Client (streaming) APIs. Aims for 100% Python SDK parity with idiomatic Go (progress: docs/parity.md and docs/tracking/).

  • Package: claudecode
  • Go Version: 1.18+

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.
