go-linting

go-linting is a skill for Claude Code from muratmirgun/gophers. It costs 85 tokens per session (2,157 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of guidelines for automated Go code checks, commonly called linting. It explains how to configure golangci-lint, record the rules in the project, handle findings, and run the checks in continuous integration (automated checks run for code changes).

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when setting up linting, creating a .golangci.yml configuration, reviewing lint results, or adding lint checks to a Go project's CI process.
Why use it?
It keeps code-quality checks consistent between developers and automated builds, while discouraging unexplained exceptions and ignored security warnings.

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-linting 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 9d 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 Linting

The single most important property of a linting setup is consistency: every contributor and every CI run uses the same rules. golangci-lint is the tool; a checked-in .golangci.yml is the contract.

Core Rules

  1. Every Go project has a .golangci.yml at the repository root. It is the source of truth for which linters run.
  2. Lint runs in CI on every PR. A green build means lint is green.
  3. Lint runs locally before commit. A pre-commit hook or make lint keeps the feedback loop fast.
  4. Suppress with reasons. //nolint:linter // why — never bare //nolint.
  5. Fix the cause first. A suppression should be the last resort, not the default reaction.
  6. Never silence security linters (gosec, bodyclose, sqlclosecheck) without a strong, documented reason.

Setup Procedure

  1. Install: go install github.com/golangci/golangci-lint/v2/cmd/golangci-lint@latest (or brew install golangci-lint).
  2. Drop a baseline .golangci.yml at the repo root.
  3. Run golangci-lint run ./....
  4. Fix the findings in order — formatting first, govet next, style last.
  5. Re-run until clean. Commit .golangci.yml and any source fixes together.
  6. Add the CI workflow (see references/ci-integration.md).

Minimum Linter Set

These five catch the most common issues and have the lowest noise rate. Start here:

Linter Catches
errcheck Unchecked error returns
govet Mistakes that compile but are wrong (printf args, shifts, etc.)
staticcheck Bug-prone patterns, dead code, simplifications
ineffassign Assignments whose value is never read
revive Style issues (modern replacement for golint)

Add formatting on top: gofmt / goimports (or gofumpt for stricter rules). With golangci-lint v2 these run via golangci-lint fmt.

Enable these once the baseline is clean:

go-linting is a skill published in the GitHub repository muratmirgun/gophers (8 stars, last pushed 29d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 85 tokens to every session and 2,157 once invoked, about $0.0004 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.
