resonate-external-system-of-record-pattern-go

resonate-external-system-of-record-pattern-go is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from resonatehq/resonate-skills. It costs 88 tokens per session (3,181 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A Go pattern for coordinating a workflow with an external system that owns the official data, such as a database, payment service, ledger, or other API. Each interaction is made safe to repeat so retries do not create inconsistent results.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when a Go workflow reads or writes an external database, payment processor, ledger, or store and must remain consistent after failures or repeated execution.
Why use it?
It avoids trying to make separate systems commit together in one distributed transaction. The external system remains the source of truth while the workflow records progress and handles retries.

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

resonate-external-system-of-record-pattern-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 12d 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.

Resonate External System of Record Pattern — Go

Version note. The Go SDK's first tagged release is 0.1.0. The tag is 0.1.0, not v0.1.0, so go get …@latest does not resolve to it — pin the tag explicitly: go get github.com/resonatehq/[email protected]. APIs may still change before a 1.0. There is no Go system-of-record example repo yet, so all snippets use only documented SDK surface verified against the 0.1.0 tag source.

Overview

For the language-agnostic framing and the "Write Last, Read First" mental model, see resonate-external-system-of-record-pattern-typescript. This skill translates that model to idiomatic Go: explicit (T, error) returns, option structs, and ctx.Run-based checkpointing without a separate dependency-injection mechanism.

The core contract is simple: one system owns the truth. Resonate coordinates the workflow and guarantees at-least-once execution; the external system enforces consistency through its own primitives — idempotency keys, upserts, conditional writes, ledger deduplication.

When to use

  • A Resonate workflow must create, update, or read from a database, payment processor, ledger, or any external store that has its own durability.
  • You need multi-step operations (reserve → charge → record) to be safe to retry without double-writes.
  • You cannot use distributed transactions across Resonate's promise store and the external system.

Do not use this pattern when all writes live inside a single ACID transaction scope — just use the transaction.

The replay principle — wrap every SoR call in ctx.Run

This is the entire reason the pattern exists.

Whenever a workflow suspends and resumes (after a ctx.Sleep, a remote ctx.RPC, or a pending ctx.Promise), the entire workflow body re-executes from the top. Durable child promises short-circuit steps that already settled — the external call is not re-fired, and the stored result is returned directly. But any external call that is NOT wrapped in a ctx.Run will execute again on every replay, producing double-writes.
