golang-patterns

golang-patterns is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Luohaothu/everything-codex. It costs 30 tokens per session (3,575 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of golang-patterns, MIT.

A guide to common Go programming patterns, design choices, and code conventions for writing and maintaining Go applications.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when writing Go code, designing packages, reviewing changes, or improving an existing Go codebase.
Why use it?
It helps developers avoid unclear, fragile, or non-idiomatic Go code when building, reviewing, or refactoring software.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is go run ./cmd/myapp.

Good fit Use it when writing Go code, designing packages, reviewing changes, or improving an existing Go codebase.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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

golang-patterns scanned grade A with 1 finding 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.

Go 开发模式

用于构建健壮、高效和可维护应用程序的惯用 Go 模式与最佳实践。

何时激活

  • 编写新的 Go 代码时
  • 审查 Go 代码时
  • 重构现有 Go 代码时
  • 设计 Go 包/模块时

核心原则

1. 简洁与清晰

Go 推崇简洁而非精巧。代码应该显而易见且易于阅读。

// Good: Clear and direct
func GetUser(id string) (*User, error) {
    user, err := db.FindUser(id)
    if err != nil {
        return nil, fmt.Errorf("get user %s: %w", id, err)
    }
    return user, nil
}

// Bad: Overly clever
func GetUser(id string) (*User, error) {
    return func() (*User, error) {
        if u, e := db.FindUser(id); e == nil {
            return u, nil
        } else {
            return nil, e
        }
    }()
}

2. 让零值变得有用

设计类型时,应使其零值无需初始化即可立即使用。

// Good: Zero value is useful
type Counter struct {
    mu    sync.Mutex
    count int // zero value is 0, ready to use
}

func (c *Counter) Inc() {
    c.mu.Lock()
    c.count++
    c.mu.Unlock()
}

// Good: bytes.Buffer works with zero value
var buf bytes.Buffer
buf.WriteString("hello")

// Bad: Requires initialization
type BadCounter struct {
    counts map[string]int // nil map will panic
}

3. 接受接口,返回结构体

函数应该接受接口参数并返回具体类型。

// Good: Accepts interface, returns concrete type
func ProcessData(r io.Reader) (*Result, error) {
    data, err := io.ReadAll(r)
    if err != nil {
        return nil, err
    }
    return &Result{Data: data}, nil
}

// Bad: Returns interface (hides implementation details unnecessarily)
func ProcessData(r io.Reader) (io.Reader, error) {
    // ...
}

错误处理模式

带上下文的错误包装

// Good: Wrap errors with context
func LoadConfig(path string) (*Config, error) {
    data, err := os.ReadFile(path)
    if err != nil {
        return nil, fmt.Errorf("load config %s: %w", path, err)
    }

    var cfg Config
    if err := json.Unmarshal(data, &cfg); err != nil {
        return nil, fmt.Errorf("parse config %s: %w", path, err)
    }

    return &cfg, nil
}

自定义错误类型

// Define domain-specific errors
type ValidationError struct {
    Field   string
    Message string
}

func (e *ValidationError) Error() string {
    return fmt.Sprintf("validation failed on %s: %s", e.Field, e.Message)
}

// Sentinel errors for common cases
var (
    ErrNotFound     = errors.New("resource not found")
    ErrUnauthorized = errors.New("unauthorized")
    ErrInvalidInput = errors.New("invalid input")
)

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.

golang-patterns is a skill published in the GitHub repository Luohaothu/everything-codex (26 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 30 tokens to every session and 3,575 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). It is 92% identical to golang-patterns, differing in 1,347 lines, and is treated as a copy.
