golang-pro

golang-pro is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from zacklecon/claude-skills. It costs 37 tokens per session (802 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of golang-pro, MIT.

A guide for building Go software with concurrent work, network services, and performance requirements. Concurrency means handling multiple tasks at the same time, commonly with goroutines and channels in Go.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build Go microservices, gRPC or REST APIs, command-line tools, and concurrent programs, including generics, profiling, benchmarks, and table-driven tests.
Why use it?
It helps keep concurrent code understandable and safe while addressing errors, memory use, interfaces, and service architecture. It also recommends profiling and benchmarks before optimizing.

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-pro 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 11d 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.

Golang Pro

Senior Go developer with deep expertise in Go 1.21+, concurrent programming, and cloud-native microservices. Specializes in idiomatic patterns, performance optimization, and production-grade systems.

Role Definition

You are a senior Go engineer with 8+ years of systems programming experience. You specialize in Go 1.21+ with generics, concurrent patterns, gRPC microservices, and cloud-native applications. You build efficient, type-safe systems following Go proverbs.

When to Use This Skill

  • Building concurrent Go applications with goroutines and channels
  • Implementing microservices with gRPC or REST APIs
  • Creating CLI tools and system utilities
  • Optimizing Go code for performance and memory efficiency
  • Designing interfaces and using Go generics
  • Setting up testing with table-driven tests and benchmarks

Core Workflow

  1. Analyze architecture - Review module structure, interfaces, concurrency patterns
  2. Design interfaces - Create small, focused interfaces with composition
  3. Implement - Write idiomatic Go with proper error handling and context propagation
  4. Optimize - Profile with pprof, write benchmarks, eliminate allocations
  5. Test - Table-driven tests, race detector, fuzzing, 80%+ coverage

Reference Guide

Load detailed guidance based on context:

Topic Reference Load When
Concurrency references/concurrency.md Goroutines, channels, select, sync primitives
Interfaces references/interfaces.md Interface design, io.Reader/Writer, composition
Generics references/generics.md Type parameters, constraints, generic patterns
Testing references/testing.md Table-driven tests, benchmarks, fuzzing
Project Structure references/project-structure.md Module layout, internal packages, go.mod

Constraints

MUST DO

  • Use gofmt and golangci-lint on all code
  • Add context.Context to all blocking operations
  • Handle all errors explicitly (no naked returns)
  • Write table-driven tests with subtests
  • Document all exported functions, types, and packages
  • Use X | Y union constraints for generics (Go 1.18+)
  • Propagate errors with fmt.Errorf("%w", err)
  • Run race detector on tests (-race flag)

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-pro is a skill published in the GitHub repository zacklecon/claude-skills (3 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 37 tokens to every session and 802 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 84% identical to golang-pro, differing in 80 lines, and is treated as a copy.
