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

write-go-code 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 9d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 53 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Write Go Code

Core Principles

  1. Clarity over cleverness - Code should be obvious to readers
  2. Simplicity - Accomplish goals in the most straightforward way
  3. Consistency - Match surrounding code and project conventions
  4. Minimal indentation - Handle errors early, keep happy path unindented

Workflow

  1. Run automated checks (make lint, make fmt or gofmt, goimports)
  2. Review against essential checklist: references/essential/checklist.md
  3. For specific questions, consult: references/comprehensive/{topic}.md
  4. When creating or editing Cobra root commands, consult: references/comprehensive/cobra.md

Reference Navigation

Quick reviews (default):

  • references/essential/checklist.md - Condensed, actionable rules

Deep dives by topic:

  • references/comprehensive/naming.md - Package names, identifiers, receivers
  • references/comprehensive/errors.md - Error handling, panic/recover
  • references/comprehensive/concurrency.md - Goroutines, channels, context
  • references/comprehensive/testing.md - Test quality and patterns
  • references/comprehensive/code-organization.md - Imports, packages, structure
  • references/comprehensive/data-types.md - new vs make, slices, maps
  • references/comprehensive/functions.md - Multiple returns, defer
  • references/comprehensive/interfaces.md - Embedding, type assertions
  • references/comprehensive/makefile-conventions.md - Required CI targets, fmt vs format
  • references/comprehensive/cobra.md - Cobra root command usage templates

Pull Request Review

When reviewing a pull request, apply ./references/review-checklist.md: the rules of this guide that a reviewer can check in a diff, ranked as Important, Nits and Do not flag. The same checklist is installed into repositories for automated reviewers, so update it whenever a rule here 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.
