Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5 | $0.00044 | $0.00294 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00022 | $0.00147 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00009 | $0.00059 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00029 |
Grade A, and why
Effective Go 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.
This is a copy
100% identical to Effective Go — 1 line differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
What it actually says
Effective Go
Apply best practices and conventions from the official Effective Go guide to write clean, idiomatic Go code.
When to Apply
Use this skill automatically when:
- Writing new Go code
- Reviewing Go code
- Refactoring existing Go implementations
Key Reminders
Follow the conventions and patterns documented at https://go.dev/doc/effective_go, with particular attention to:
- Formatting: Always use
gofmt- this is non-negotiable - Naming: No underscores, use MixedCaps for exported names, mixedCaps for unexported
- Error handling: Always check errors; return them, don't panic
- Concurrency: Share memory by communicating (use channels)
- Interfaces: Keep small (1-3 methods ideal); accept interfaces, return concrete types
- Documentation: Document all exported symbols, starting with the symbol name

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.

Effective Go is a skill published in the GitHub repository openshift/oc (245 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 44 tokens to every session and 294 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 100% identical to Effective Go, differing in 1 line, and is treated as a copy.
