colgen

colgen is a skill for Claude Code from vmkteam/claude-plugins. It costs 87 tokens per session (1,768 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A Go code generator that creates list types and helper methods for your structs from comments in collection.go. Go is a programming language, and the generated code can also convert values between package layers.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when maintaining collection.go, defining list types such as NewsList, or converting structs between packages and application layers.
Why use it?
It removes repetitive work when building collections, indexes, groups, counts, and relationships for Go structs. The source code stays focused on the data model while the generator creates the repeated helpers.

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

colgen 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 6d 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.

Colgen

Upstream: https://github.com/vmkteam/colgen Docs: https://vmkteam.dev/colgen/

Генерирует коллекции (XxxList []Xxx) с утилитарными методами из директив в collection.go. Также: inline-сниппеты, LLM-режимы.

Директивы

  • //go:generate colgen — запуск генератора в файле
  • //colgen:News,Tag — базовая генерация типов + IDs() + Index() (если есть поле ID)
  • //colgen:News:<Method>[,<Method>...] — дополнительные методы
  • Код должен компилироваться перед запуском — парсинг через AST

Методы

Директива Эффект
NewsID NewsIDs() []int (если поле ID нестандартное)
Index(Field) IndexByField() map[T]News
UniqueField уникальные значения (поддерживает *T c nil-check)
Count(Field) CountByField(v) int
Group(Field) GroupByField() map[T]NewsList; для []T — fan-out
Fill(Target,Junction) заполняет связи; режим определяется типом junction
Cast(Interface) Interfaces() []Interface через pointer receiver
Map(pkg) / MapP(pkg) конструктор NewNewsList(in []pkg.News) NewsList
map/mapp то же в lowercase (приватный конструктор)

Поведение <Field> по типу

  • Скаляр StatusID int → StatusIDs() []int
  • Слайс TagIDs []int → flatten в []int (не [][]int)
  • Указатель Author *Author → []Author с nil-check и разыменованием

Fill — определение режима

Fill(Tags,TagIDs) где TagIDs []int → many-to-many через related.Index() + append Fill(Author,AuthorID) где AuthorID *int → one-to-one с nil-check Все FillXxx возвращают ll для чейнинга: news.FillTags(tags).FillAuthor(authors)

Map / MapP — конвертеры между слоями

//go:generate colgen -imports=newsportal/pkg/db
//colgen:News,Tag
//colgen:News:UniqueTagIDs,Map(db)

Требования:

  • Проект должен содержать дженерики Map[T,M] / MapP[T,M] (pointer-версия)
  • MapP(db) — если NewNews принимает *db.News
  • map/mapp (lowercase) — приватные конструкторы
  • Разное имя в db-слое: Map(db.News) (полный путь)
  • Структура не в базовой директиве → конструктор вернёт []News вместо NewsList
  • Другой пакет для Map/MapP: -funcpkg=<pkg> + имя пакета в -imports через запятую. Дженерики Map/MapP живут в пакете домена, API-пакеты берут их оттуда, а не заводят свои:
    // pkg/rpc/collection.go (vmkteam-reviewer)
    //go:generate colgen -funcpkg=reviewer -imports=reviewsrv/pkg/reviewer
    //colgen:Review:mapp(reviewer)

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.
