go-testing-guidelines

go-testing-guidelines is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from daibang123a/golang-agent-skills. It costs 86 tokens per session (2,637 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of Go testing guidelines covering common test types and practices. Go is a programming language, and the guidance includes table-driven tests, mocks, integration tests, benchmarks, fuzz tests, and test helpers.

In plain words
What is it for?
Writing tests, reviewing test code, preparing CI testing, or measuring coverage in Go projects. It can guide unit, integration, benchmark, and fuzz tests.
Why use it?
It gives coding agents concrete patterns for writing and reviewing Go tests, including error cases, edge cases, cleanup, and safe parallel tests.

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

go-testing-guidelines 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/test-coverage.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 309 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Go Testing Guidelines

Comprehensive testing best practices for Go. 30+ rules covering unit tests, integration tests, benchmarks, fuzzing, and test organization.

How It Works

  1. Agent identifies the testing need (unit, integration, benchmark, fuzz)
  2. Agent applies the appropriate patterns from this skill
  3. Agent generates test code following Go conventions
  4. Agent ensures proper cleanup, parallelism, and naming

Rules

1. Table-Driven Tests (Critical)

# Rule Description
TD1 Use table-driven tests for multiple cases Define test cases as a slice of structs. Each case has a name and inputs/expected outputs.
TD2 Name test cases descriptively "empty input", "negative number", "unicode string" — names appear in test output.
TD3 Use t.Run for subtests Enables running individual cases: go test -run TestFoo/empty_input.
TD4 Run subtests in parallel when safe Call t.Parallel() in subtests for independent test cases. Capture loop variable.
TD5 Include error cases Always test error paths, edge cases, and boundary conditions.
func TestParseAge(t *testing.T) {
    tests := []struct {
        name    string
        input   string
        want    int
        wantErr bool
    }{
        {name: "valid age", input: "25", want: 25},
        {name: "zero", input: "0", want: 0},
        {name: "negative", input: "-1", wantErr: true},
        {name: "not a number", input: "abc", wantErr: true},
        {name: "empty string", input: "", wantErr: true},
        {name: "overflow", input: "999999", wantErr: true},
    }

    for _, tt := range tests {
        t.Run(tt.name, func(t *testing.T) {
            t.Parallel()
            got, err := ParseAge(tt.input)
            if tt.wantErr {
                if err == nil {
                    t.Errorf("ParseAge(%q) expected error, got %d", tt.input, got)
                }
                return
            }
            if err != nil {
                t.Fatalf("ParseAge(%q) unexpected error: %v", tt.input, err)
            }
            if got != tt.want {
                t.Errorf("ParseAge(%q) = %d, want %d", tt.input, got, tt.want)
            }
        })
    }

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.

go-testing-guidelines is a skill published in the GitHub repository daibang123a/golang-agent-skills (2 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 86 tokens to every session and 2,637 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 2026-08-31.
