golang-naming is a skill for Claude Code from samber/cc-skills-golang. It costs 161 tokens per session (3,031 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to naming Go code consistently, covering packages, functions, types, variables, errors, tests, and other identifiers. Go is a programming language whose capitalization also controls whether code is shared outside its package.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when writing, reviewing, or refactoring Go code and deciding how to name its parts.
Why use it?
It removes guesswork when choosing names and helps code match common Go conventions.

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

golang-naming 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 10d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 170 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Community default. A company skill that explicitly supersedes samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-naming skill takes precedence.

Go Naming Conventions

Go favors short, readable names. Capitalization controls visibility — uppercase is exported, lowercase is unexported. All identifiers MUST use MixedCaps, NEVER underscores.

"Clear is better than clever." — Go Proverbs

"Design the architecture, name the components, document the details." — Go Proverbs

To ignore a rule, just add a comment to the code.

Quick Reference

Element Convention Example
Package lowercase, single word, _test suffix OK for test files json, http, tabwriter, http_test
File lowercase, underscores OK user_handler.go
Exported name UpperCamelCase ReadAll, HTTPClient
Unexported lowerCamelCase parseToken, userCount
Interface method name + -er Reader, Closer, Stringer
Struct MixedCaps noun Request, FileHeader
Constant MixedCaps (not ALL_CAPS) MaxRetries, defaultTimeout
Receiver 1-2 letter abbreviation func (s *Server), func (b *Buffer)
Error variable Err prefix ErrNotFound, ErrTimeout
Error type Error suffix PathError, SyntaxError
Constructor New (single type) or NewTypeName (multi-type) ring.New, http.NewRequest
Boolean field is, has, can prefix on fields and methods isReady, IsConnected()
Test function Test + function name TestParseToken
Acronym all caps or all lower URL, HTTPServer, xmlParser
Variant: context WithContext suffix FetchWithContext, QueryContext
Variant: in-place In suffix SortIn(), ReverseIn()
Variant: error Must prefix MustParse(), MustLoadConfig()
Option func With + field name WithPort(), WithLogger()
Enum (iota) type name prefix, zero-value = unknown StatusUnknown at 0, StatusReady
Named return descriptive, for docs only (n int, err error)
Error string lowercase (incl. acronyms), no punctuation "image: unknown format", "invalid id"
Import alias short, only on collision mrand "math/rand", pb "app/proto"
Format func f suffix Errorf, Wrapf, Logf
Test table fields got/expected prefixes input string, expected int

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.
