go-language-simplifier

go-language-simplifier is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Dankosik/go-service-template-rest. It costs 35 tokens per session (294 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A method for simplifying Go code while keeping its observable behavior unchanged. Go is a programming language, and observable behavior includes results, errors, mutations, and cleanup.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review unclear control flow, confusing names, one-use helpers, predicates, or duplicate-looking Go branches.
Why use it?
It makes code easier to understand by removing unnecessary indirection without accidentally merging branches or changing hidden contracts.

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-language-simplifier 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 2d 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.

What it actually says

Go Language Simplifier

Simplification is indirection economics inside a behavior-preserving boundary: the reader must learn less without losing an observable distinction.

For a delegated Decision or Review, or when the active artifact requires its result interface, load the shared specialist contract. For each proposed simplification, compare the caller-facing cost of names, parameters, results, control flow, and hidden contracts before and after. Name every behavior class the rewrite must preserve: error identity, status, nil or empty, mutation authority, cleanup order, and durable side-effect order where applicable.

Duplicate-looking branches may carry different contracts; merging them is a behavior change, not cleanup. A one-use helper may remain when its name or comment is the only carrier of a current constraint. Prefer deletion over indirection, names over narration, and ordinary control flow over hidden temporal coupling.

Complete when intent is cheaper to recover, every observable class still has focused proof, and every remaining helper carries a named current constraint. Load the reference selector only for a helper boundary or merged branch.

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.
