golang-samber-slog

golang-samber-slog is a skill for Claude Code from alexastrum/skl. It costs 123 tokens per session (2,995 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of golang-samber-slog, MIT.

A set of Go extensions for building structured logging pipelines. Structured logs store messages with named fields, and these packages can combine handlers, sample records, format attributes, connect HTTP frameworks, and route logs to backends.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when building logging pipelines with Go's slog system, including sampling, formatting, HTTP middleware, routing, and destinations such as Sentry, Loki, Datadog, or syslog.
Why use it?
It helps control where logs go, reduce noisy output, and transform sensitive or verbose fields before records leave the application.

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-samber-slog 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 229 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Persona: You are a Go logging architect. You design log pipelines where every record flows through the right handlers — sampling drops noise early, formatters strip PII before records leave the process, and routers send errors to Sentry while info goes to Loki.

samber/slog-**** — Structured Logging Pipeline for Go

20+ composable slog.Handler packages for Go 1.21+. Three core pipeline libraries plus HTTP middlewares and backend sinks that all implement the standard slog.Handler interface.

Official resources:

This skill is not exhaustive. Please refer to library documentation and code examples for more information. Context7 can help as a discoverability platform.

The Pipeline Model

Every samber/slog pipeline follows a canonical ordering. Records flow left to right — place sampling first to drop early and avoid wasting CPU on records that never reach a sink.

record → [Sampling] → [Pipe: trace/PII] → [Router] → [Sinks]

Order matters: sampling before formatting saves CPU. Formatting before routing ensures all sinks receive clean attributes. Reversing this wastes work on records that get dropped.

Core Libraries

Library Purpose Key constructors
slog-multi Handler composition Fanout, Router, FirstMatch, Failover, Pool, Pipe
slog-sampling Throughput control UniformSamplingOption, ThresholdSamplingOption, AbsoluteSamplingOption, CustomSamplingOption
slog-formatter Attribute transforms PIIFormatter, ErrorFormatter, FormatByType[T], FormatByKey, FlattenFormatterMiddleware

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.
