oc: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/effective-go/SKILL.md

Effective Go is a skill for Claude Code from openshift/oc. It costs 44 tokens per session (294 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of Effective Go, Apache-2.0.

A set of guidelines for writing, reviewing, and refactoring Go programs. Go is a programming language, and the guidance covers formatting, naming, errors, concurrency, interfaces, and documentation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when creating or changing Go code. It reminds you to run gofmt, check errors, keep interfaces small, use channels for shared work, and document exported code.
Why use it?
It gives Go code a consistent style and highlights common correctness and maintainability practices. This makes reviews and future changes easier to handle.

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

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 2mo 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.

Origin

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.
