golang-pkg-go-dev

golang-pkg-go-dev is a skill for Claude Code from samber/cc-skills-golang. It costs 173 tokens per session (3,442 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A read-only tool for looking up published Go packages and modules through pkg.go.dev, the Go documentation website. It shows documentation, symbols, versions, importers, licenses, examples, and known vulnerabilities.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to find Go package documentation, API details, code examples, available versions, packages that import a module, licenses, and reported vulnerabilities.
Why use it?
It answers questions about Go packages without needing to inspect the local project or add the package to go.mod. It also helps check package history, usage, licensing, and security information.

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-pkg-go-dev 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 7d 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 — 202 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

golang-pkg-go-dev

Dependencies: godiggo install github.com/samber/godig/cmd/godig@latest (or use a registered godig MCP server / the hosted instance instead).

godig queries the pkg.go.dev API. Use it to answer questions about Go packages and modules: docs, symbols, versions, importers and vulnerabilities. It works as a CLI and as an MCP server, and all operations are read-only and need no authentication.

When to use this skill

Trigger on questions like:

  • "What versions of github.com/samber/lo are available?"
  • "Does golang.org/x/text have known vulnerabilities?"
  • "Show me the docs / symbols for package X."
  • "Which packages import X?"
  • "Search Go packages for Y."

Choosing between godig, gopls, Context7, and govulncheck

In short: godig answers questions about the published ecosystem (works even for packages not yet in your go.mod); gopls reasons about your locally resolved build (go.sum, including replaced forks); Context7 is a fallback for non-Go or unindexed docs; govulncheck is the whole-tree vulnerability audit (→ samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-security). See the samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-gopls skill for wiring gopls (MCP server, native LSP tool, and CLI) with Claude Code, and the samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-how-to skill's "godig vs gopls vs Context7 vs govulncheck" section for the full task-to-tool matrix.

Setup

Install

go install github.com/samber/godig/cmd/godig@latest

Register the MCP server (optional)

godig mcp runs over stdio by default, or streamable HTTP with --transport http. The command is harness-agnostic — any MCP-capable host can point at it. Claude Code registers it via its own CLI:

stdio (the client launches godig on demand):

claude mcp add pkg-go-dev -- godig mcp

streamable HTTP (shared server at /mcp, default :8080):

godig mcp --transport http --addr :8080
claude mcp add --transport http pkg-go-dev http://localhost:8080/mcp

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.
