gin

gin is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from G1Joshi/Agent-Skills. It costs 17 tokens per session (276 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A Go web framework for routing requests, handling responses, and adding middleware. Middleware is shared code that runs around requests, such as logging or recovery from errors.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build REST APIs and Go microservices with routes, JSON input handling, validation, logging, and recovery middleware.
Why use it?
It provides a ready-made structure for Go APIs, including request binding and tools for preventing one handler crash from stopping the whole service.

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

gin 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

Gin

Gin is the most popular Go web framework, known for its martini-like API and performance (httprouter). v1.10 (2025) adds structured logging and better binding.

When to Use

  • REST APIs: The industry standard for Go microservices.
  • Performance: 40x faster than Martini.
  • Middleware Ecosystem: Massive library of plugins.

Core Concepts

Router

Radix tree based routing. r.GET("/ping", handler).

Context (c *gin.Context)

Holds request, response, and metadata.

Binding

ShouldBindJSON automatically validates structs.

Best Practices (2025)

Do:

  • Use ShouldBind: Better error handling than Bind (which panics/writes 400).
  • Use gin.Recovery(): Prevent crashes from taking down the server.
  • Use Slog: Integrate with Go's log/slog for structured logs.

Don't:

  • Don't abuse c.Set/Get: Use type-safe struct passing where possible.

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.

gin is a skill published in the GitHub repository G1Joshi/Agent-Skills (12 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 17 tokens to every session and 276 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-09-03.
