writing-go

writing-go is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from alexei-led/cc-thingz. It costs 71 tokens per session (831 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of development guidelines for writing, changing, and reviewing Go code. Go is a programming language, and a module is a Go project with its own dependency and version settings.

In plain words
What is it for?
Building Go APIs and command-line tools, reviewing Go implementations, and changing Go tests while following the project's target Go version.
Why use it?
It gives Go projects consistent rules for code structure, errors, context handling, comments, tests, and version-specific features.

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one.

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

writing-go 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 yesterday.

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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 66 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Go Development

Use only for Go modules. Follow the module's target Go version.

Read First

Read principles.md before writing, changing, or reviewing Go code. Read conditional references only when the change touches that area.

Conditional References

  • patterns.md — package layout, interfaces, errors, HTTP/service boundaries, concurrency, comments.
  • testing.md — adding or reshaping Go tests; keep the local test loop fast.
  • linting.md — changing lint config, lint commands, or slow lint workflows.
  • cli.md — writing or changing Go CLIs.

Comments

  • Use doc comments for exported declarations. Start with the identifier and end with a period.
  • Comment non-trivial unexported declarations only when their contract is not obvious.
  • Add implementation comments only for non-obvious constraints, invariants, side effects, tradeoffs, or tuning decisions.
  • Keep comments short. Move longer rationale to docs, issue links, or design notes.
  • Do not comment obvious code or restate names and types.
  • Keep tests readable without comments; add one only for unobvious fixtures, timing, concurrency, or regression context.

Version-Gated APIs

  • Confirm go.mod, toolchain, CI, and nearby code before using version-specific APIs.
  • Go 1.25+: use sync.WaitGroup.Go when no error propagation is needed.
  • Use existing errgroup for goroutine errors or shared cancellation; add it only when the dependency is justified.
  • Go 1.25+: use testing/synctest for deterministic concurrent tests when available.
  • Go 1.26+: prefer stdlib crypto/hpke when HPKE is needed (release notes).
  • Go 1.26+: use testing/cryptotest.SetGlobalRandom only for deterministic crypto tests; it changes process-wide randomness and cannot run in parallel tests (release notes, API).
  • Treat encoding/json/v2 as experimental unless the project opts into GOEXPERIMENT=jsonv2.
  • Go 1.26+: use new(expr) only when clearer than a local variable, composite literal, or address expression.
  • Go 1.26+: keep recursive type constraints in generic libraries; keep business logic concrete.

Files

What ships with it

6 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.

writing-go is a skill published in the GitHub repository alexei-led/cc-thingz (35 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 71 tokens to every session and 831 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
