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

golang-naming 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 11d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 164 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Community default. A company skill that explicitly supersedes samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-naming skill takes precedence.

Go Naming Conventions

Go favors short, readable names. Capitalization controls visibility — uppercase is exported, lowercase is unexported. All identifiers MUST use MixedCaps, NEVER underscores.

"Clear is better than clever." — Go Proverbs

"Design the architecture, name the components, document the details." — Go Proverbs

To ignore a rule, just add a comment to the code.

Quick Reference

Element Convention Example
Package lowercase, single word, _test suffix OK for test files json, http, tabwriter, http_test
File lowercase, underscores OK user_handler.go
Exported name UpperCamelCase ReadAll, HTTPClient
Unexported lowerCamelCase parseToken, userCount
Interface method name + -er Reader, Closer, Stringer
Struct MixedCaps noun Request, FileHeader
Constant MixedCaps (not ALL_CAPS) MaxRetries, defaultTimeout
Receiver 1-2 letter abbreviation func (s *Server), func (b *Buffer)
Error variable Err prefix ErrNotFound, ErrTimeout
Error type Error suffix PathError, SyntaxError
Constructor New (single type) or NewTypeName (multi-type) ring.New, http.NewRequest
Boolean field is, has, can prefix on fields and methods isReady, IsConnected()
Test function Test + function name TestParseToken
Acronym all caps or all lower URL, HTTPServer, xmlParser
Variant: context WithContext suffix FetchWithContext, QueryContext
Variant: in-place In suffix SortIn(), ReverseIn()
Variant: error Must prefix MustParse(), MustLoadConfig()
Option func With + field name WithPort(), WithLogger()
Enum (iota) type name prefix, zero-value = unknown StatusUnknown at 0, StatusReady
Named return descriptive, for docs only (n int, err error)
Error string lowercase (incl. acronyms), no punctuation "image: unknown format", "invalid id"
Import alias short, only on collision mrand "math/rand", pb "app/proto"
Format func f suffix Errorf, Wrapf, Logf
Test table fields got/expected prefixes input string, expected int

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.
