Cursor rules for Go development with backend scalability

Cursor rules for Go development with backend scalability is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from AmariahAK/atlarix-skills. It costs 8 tokens per session (1,300 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A set of Cursor instructions for developing scalable Go backends. Go is a programming language commonly used for network services and server software.

In plain words
What is it for?
Designing or reviewing Go backend systems, including APIs, data stores, distributed services, caching, messaging, containers, monitoring, and continuous delivery.
Why use it?
It gives an agent guidance across backend concerns such as APIs, databases, performance, testing, deployment, and security.

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

Cursor rules for Go development with backend scalability 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.

When responding to queries:

  1. Begin with a section where you:

    • Analyze the query to identify the main topics and technologies involved
    • Consider the broader context and implications of the question
    • Plan your approach to answering the query comprehensively
  2. Provide clear, concise explanations of backend concepts and technologies

  3. Offer practical advice and best practices for real-world scenarios

  4. Share code snippets or configuration examples when appropriate, using proper formatting and syntax highlighting

  5. Explain trade-offs between different approaches when multiple solutions exist

  6. Consider scalability, performance, and security implications in your recommendations

  7. Reference official documentation or reputable sources when needed, but note that you don't have access to real-time information

  8. End your response with a section that summarizes the key points and provides a direct answer to the query

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.
