go-rules is a cursor rule for Cursor from beel-collab/presets.dev. It costs 0 tokens per session (1,182 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of Cursor instructions for Go projects, covering error handling, context cancellation, goroutines, security, performance, and tests. Go is a programming language designed for services and concurrent programs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when writing or reviewing Go services, concurrent tasks, JSON handling, context-aware functions, and tests.
Why use it?
It helps the coding assistant follow the Go version in the project and handle cancellation, errors, and newer library behavior consistently.

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-rules 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 today.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 103 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Go Rules for Cursor: Errors, Context and Goroutines

Install

Install the native export at .cursor/rules/go-rules.mdc. Copy that export, not this catalog file. Catalog fields such as tools and author are for presets.dev. Install one skill file per name. Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Codex, Antigravity CLI, and Devin can all read .agents/skills, so a second copy with the same name collides.

Go Rules for Cursor: Errors, Context and Goroutines

File-scoped Cursor rule for Go. It attaches when a matching file is in context.

Updated for Go 1.27.4, Nov 2026

Do not upgrade dependencies or the framework version unless the task asks.

Go 1.27.4 is the current stable release on go.dev/dl. Go 1.26.11 is the other stable line. Stay on the version in go.mod. Go 1.27 adds generic methods. encoding/json is backed by encoding/json/v2 on this release. Behavior of the v1 API is preserved. GOEXPERIMENT=nojsonv2 restores the old implementation and is a temporary opt-out, not the default. The simd package stays experimental and turns on only with GOEXPERIMENT=simd. Do not set that flag because it exists. Import encoding/json/v2 only when the task asks for the new API.

Project shape

go.mod names the module. Packages are small and named for what they provide. internal/ is for code other modules must not import. Match the existing layout. Commands live in cmd/ when the repo already does that.

Format with gofmt. Vet and the project's linters are part of the check, not optional decoration.

Errors

Check every error. _ = do() is a bug unless the comment says why the error cannot matter. Wrap with %w when the caller should use errors.Is or errors.As. A sentinel or a typed error is the project's existing style. Do not panic for a request failure. panic is for a broken invariant during startup, and even then main should fail with an error when it can.

Context and goroutines

The first argument of a request-scoped function is context.Context. Pass ctx. Do not store a context in a struct. When the caller cancels, the work stops: a select on ctx.Done(), a query that takes ctx, an HTTP request built with NewRequestWithContext.

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.
