go-cache

go-cache is a skill for Claude Code from lexfrei/ccc. It costs 81 tokens per session (497 once invoked), scanned A, original, BSD-3-Clause.

A Go programming-language cache cleanup tool. It can clear compiled-build, test, fuzzing, and downloaded-module caches.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to measure Go cache sizes and remove either build-related caches only or all supported caches after approval.
Why use it?
Go caches can occupy substantial disk space, but deleting them has different effects: downloaded modules must be fetched again, while other caches are rebuilt locally.

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-cache 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.

What it actually says

Reclaim Go cache disk space, then report what was freed.

Operates in report → confirm → execute order. The scope is chosen through an interactive question, not flags. After approval, run the cleanup autonomously.

Step 1: Locate and measure the caches

go env GOCACHE GOMODCACHE
  • GOCACHE holds the build, test, and fuzz caches — fully regenerated on the next build.
  • GOMODCACHE holds downloaded module sources — re-downloaded on the next go build/go mod download. It is usually the largest, often tens of GB.

Measure both: du -sh "$GOCACHE" and du -sh "$GOMODCACHE". If go is not installed, stop and say so.

Step 2: Report and ask (interactive)

Show the size of each cache and the total reclaimable, then ask the user (interactive question) which scope to clear:

  • build + test + fuzz only — keeps the module cache, so the next build does not re-download dependencies.
  • everything, including the module cache — frees the most, but the next build re-downloads all modules.

Note that either way the next build is slower while caches repopulate.

Step 3: Execute (after approval)

Build, test, and fuzz caches:

go clean -cache -testcache -fuzzcache

Module cache (only if the user chose to include it):

go clean -modcache

go clean -modcache handles the read-only permission bits that Go sets on cached module files — no manual chmod needed.

Step 4: Report

Re-measure GOCACHE and GOMODCACHE and report the space reclaimed, plus what was kept (the module cache, if the user kept it).

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.
