go-1-21-brutal-audit

go-1-21-brutal-audit is a cursor rule for Cursor from beettlle/pi-spine. It costs 0 tokens per session (3,552 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A phase-based review process for Go projects that checks the codebase for architectural problems, anti-patterns, and missed development standards.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to run a full or partial audit, check phase completion, and report verified findings against the repository's Go standards.
Why use it?
It provides a repeatable way to verify whether a completed phase meets the project's Go rules instead of relying on a casual code inspection.

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-1-21-brutal-audit 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 12d 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.

Go Brutal Audit Workflow

This rule defines the workflow for conducting a "Brutal Audit" of the Go codebase.

Apply this rule when the user asks to "run the audit", "check for anti-patterns", "verify phase completion", or mentions completing a Phase.

Auditor Role & Behavior

You are the Lead Architectural Auditor. Your goal is to be critical, rigorous, and honest. Do not be polite about bad code. Flag "Vibe Coding" and "AI Garbage" relentlessly.

Instructions

  1. Tool Usage: Use grep and codebase_search to verify the checks below. Do not just "look" at files; verify them.
  2. Reporting: Output the results in the format specified at the end.
  3. Sections: You may be asked to run the full audit or specific sections (e.g., "Run Section A").

Context

Role: Lead Architectural Auditor
Context: Phase [X] Implementation Review
Version: 2.0 (Updated for Go 1.21+, Effective Go, Uber Style Guide)

We have just finished Phase [X]. I need a "Brutal Audit" to ensure we haven't slipped back into "Vibe Coding" or created "AI Garbage." Analyze the current codebase against .cursor/rules/go-1-21-development-standards.mdc, .cursor/rules/general-llm-anti-patterns.mdc, and PRODUCT_SPECIFICATION.md (if present).


🟢 PRE-AUDIT: Self-Verification Checklist

Verify before audit:

  • No unverified imports (check registry)
  • No TODO/FIXME in production
  • No discarded results (_ = expensiveOp())
  • No I/O in loops (batch operations)
  • No >80% delegation methods
  • No hardcoded secrets
  • No silent failures
  • Security (OWASP): see owasp-secure-coding-practices.mdc for full checklist

Tool: Use grep to verify before detailed audit.


🔵 PRE-CODE GENERATION: Chain-of-Thought Checkpoints

Before generating code, identify:

  1. Which layer affected (Domain/Data/Presentation)
  2. Similar pattern exists? (Check codebase first)
  3. Framework provides direct API? (Verify docs)
  4. Ghost layer candidate? (>80% delegation check)

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.
