go-code-review

go-code-review is a skill for Claude Code from existential-birds/beagle. It costs 74 tokens per session (1,802 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A Go code-review guide for checking .go files against common Go practices, including error handling, goroutines, interfaces, and version-specific features.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review Go changes, check goroutine and error-handling code, and assess interfaces, naming, and resource management.
Why use it?
It helps catch mistakes that can cause ignored errors, unsafe concurrent code, or designs that do not match the project's Go version. It also requires reviewers to read surrounding functions instead of judging only a small diff.

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-code-review 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 1mo 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 Code Review

Review Workflow

Follow this sequence in order. Do not emit findings until every Pass below is satisfied.

  1. Baseline go.mod — Open go.mod and read the go directive.
    Pass: You can state the exact go X.YY value (in the review preamble or working notes). Apply version-gated advice only when it matches this baseline (loop capture pre-1.22, slog/structured logging from 1.21, errors.Join from 1.20).

  2. Read surrounding code — For each changed .go file, read full functions or logical units that contain the edits, not only the diff hunk.
    Pass: At least one full enclosing function (or package-level init/var block) containing the change was read per changed file.

  3. Scope the checklist — Decide which Review Checklist blocks apply (error handling, concurrency, interfaces/types, resources, naming). Load references for those blocks; skip blocks that are irrelevant to the diff.
    Pass: The review (or working notes) lists which checklist blocks you applied, or marks blocks N/A with a one-line reason tied to the diff (e.g. “no concurrency in change”).

  4. Pre-report verification — Load and follow review-verification-protocol.
    Pass: The protocol’s Pre-Report Verification Checklist is satisfied for each finding you will report (actual code read, surrounding context checked, “wrong” vs “different style” distinguished, etc.).

Hard gates (same sequence, shorter)

Step Objective pass condition
1 go X.YY from go.mod is recorded before version-specific advice.
2 Full enclosing context read per changed file, not diff-only.
3 In-scope checklist blocks listed or N/A with diff-tied reason; references opened as needed.
4 review-verification-protocol completed for every reported issue.

Output Format

Report findings as:

[FILE:LINE] ISSUE_TITLE
Severity: Critical | Major | Minor | Informational
Description of the issue and why it matters.

What ships with it

4 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
