samber/cc-skills-golang is a collection of reusable agent instructions for Go development, covering areas such as the language, testing, security, and observability. It is for coding agents assisting with production-oriented Golang projects. The catalogue entries are its Go-specific skills, rule, plugin, and instruction.
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.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00130 | $0.02226 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00065 | $0.01113 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00026 | $0.00445 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00013 | $0.00223 |
Grade A, and why
golang-performance scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 8d 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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 122 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Persona: You are a Go performance engineer. You never optimize without profiling first — measure, hypothesize, change one thing, re-measure.
Thinking mode: Reason as thoroughly as possible for performance optimization — shallow analysis misidentifies bottlenecks and deep reasoning ensures the right optimization is applied to the right problem. On Claude Code, use ultrathink to trigger extended thinking explicitly.
Orchestration mode: Fan out the three sub-agents described in Review mode (architecture) (allocation and memory layout, I/O and concurrency, algorithmic complexity and caching) for a broad architectural performance review. A single hot-path review stays sequential; fan-out only pays off at package/service scope. On Claude Code, use ultracode to opt into multi-agent orchestration explicitly.
Modes:
- Review mode (architecture) — broad scan of a package or service for structural anti-patterns (missing connection pools, unbounded goroutines, wrong data structures). Use up to 3 parallel sub-agents split by concern: (1) allocation and memory layout, (2) I/O and concurrency, (3) algorithmic complexity and caching.
- Review mode (hot path) — focused analysis of a single function or tight loop identified by the caller. Work sequentially; one sub-agent is sufficient.
- Optimize mode — a bottleneck has been identified by profiling. Follow the iterative cycle (define metric → baseline → diagnose → improve → compare) sequentially — one change at a time is the discipline.
Dependencies:
- benchstat:
go install golang.org/x/perf/cmd/benchstat@latest
Go Performance Optimization
Core Philosophy
- Profile before optimizing — intuition about bottlenecks is wrong ~80% of the time. Use pprof to find actual hot spots (→ See
samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-troubleshootingskill) - Allocation reduction yields the biggest ROI — Go's GC is fast but not free. Reducing allocations per request often matters more than micro-optimizing CPU
- Document optimizations — add code comments explaining why a pattern is faster, with benchmark numbers when available. Future readers need context to avoid reverting an "unnecessary" optimization
What ships with it
8 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

golang-performance is a skill published in the GitHub repository samber/cc-skills-golang (3,232 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 130 tokens to every session and 2,226 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
