Go Layered Architecture

Go Layered Architecture is a skill for Claude Code from egravert/egravert-marketplace. It costs 70 tokens per session (4,189 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for structuring Go applications with separate interface, service, domain, storage, and external-adapter layers. Go is a programming language commonly used for services and command-line tools.

In plain words
What is it for?
Designing Go package layouts, creating services, adding features, and applying repository patterns and layered architecture.
Why use it?
It keeps dependencies moving toward the core business logic, making the code easier to understand and change.

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 Layered Architecture 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 10d 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.

Go Layered Architecture

Opinionated, pragmatic guide for building Go applications using a layered architecture inspired by hexagonal (ports and adapters) principles. This is not a pure hexagonal implementation — it intentionally flattens the ports-and-adapters model into a straightforward layered structure where dependencies flow inward toward the domain core. The goal is clarity and navigability over architectural purity: each layer has clear responsibilities and boundaries without the extra indirection that strict hexagonal architecture introduces.

Dependency Flow

Interface (CLI/TUI/Web) → Service → Domain ← Storage
                                      ↑
                                   Adapters (external APIs)
  • Domain defines interfaces (ports). Storage and external client adapters implement them.
  • Services depend on domain interfaces, never on concrete storage or external client packages.
  • Interface layers depend on services, never on storage or domain internals.

Domain Layer

The domain layer is the innermost ring. It has zero external dependencies — no framework imports, no struct tags, no database concerns. Include a doc.go with a glossary of key business concepts so that new contributors (human or agent) can understand the domain language.

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 Layered Architecture is a skill published in the GitHub repository egravert/egravert-marketplace (4 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 70 tokens to every session and 4,189 once invoked, about $0.0003 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.
