go-programming-expert is a skill for Cursor from roedyrustam/vibes-plug. It costs 57 tokens per session (3,354 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to programming in Go, a compiled language often used for fast services, APIs, command-line tools, and concurrent workloads. It covers web servers, microservices, database access, gRPC, and testing.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build Go APIs, microservices, and CLI tools, work with goroutines and channels, connect databases, create gRPC services, and write tests.
Why use it?
It helps you structure Go programs that handle many tasks at once and remain easier to test and maintain.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

  • high Tool Misuse · line 126
    Tool parameters are crafted to achieve unintended or unsafe behavior. Parameter abuse can bypass intended safety checks (e.g. shell=True, --force, dangerous glob patterns).
    Fix: Validate all tool parameters against an allowlist. Reject dangerous parameter values (shell=True, --force, -rf /) and use safe defaults.

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-programming-expert 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.

Go Programming Expert (Go 1.24 / 1.25 Edition)

English | Bahasa Indonesia

Orchestration & Integration

Connects and orchestrates with domain skills:

  • API Design & Protocols: api-design-expert, openapi-swagger-codegen-expert, and spec-driven-development-expert for gRPC/protobuf contract design, REST endpoints, and RFC 9457 Problem Details.
  • Data Persistence: database-orm-expert for sqlc type-safe query generation, pgx/v5 connection pooling, and transactional data integrity.
  • Realtime & Streaming: sse-websocket-streaming-expert for goroutine-backed streaming pipelines and low-latency WebSocket hubs.
  • Testing & Quality: autonomous-tdd-debugger, e2e-testing-expert, and anti-slop for executing go test -v ./..., synthetic clock testing via testing/synctest, and strict error checking (if err != nil).
  • Orchestration: brainstorming and zero-to-prod-orchestrator (Phase 4: Backend & APIs).

Description

Expert-level Go development for building high-performance microservices, concurrent pipelines, and production CLI tools. Covers Go 1.24+ and 1.25 features (Swiss Table maps, weak pointers, testing/synctest deterministic concurrency testing, tool directives in go.mod), structured logging with slog, enhanced ServeMux pattern routing, sqlc type-safe SQL, and robust worker pools.

Trigger Conditions

  • Writing Go 1.24+ / 1.25+ microservices, APIs, or high-throughput distributed workers.
  • Utilizing Go 1.24+ Swiss Table optimizations, weak pointers (weak.Pointer), or generic type aliases.
  • Running deterministic concurrency tests using testing/synctest without flaky time.Sleep.
  • Managing tool dependencies using the official tool directive in go.mod.
  • Writing type-safe SQL with sqlc or connection-pooled PostgreSQL with pgx/v5.
  • Building HTTP servers using standard net/http ServeMux method & wildcard routing.
