Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned cxuu/golang-skills at 91f0c2eef5.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

This skill, go-context, provides guidance on how to properly utilize Go’s context.Context type within your AI agent's code. It enforces best practices for managing context flow, ensuring consistency and clarity in Go applications. The skill focuses on how functions should accept a context.Context as their first parameter, avoiding storage of contexts within structs, and using standard context.Context types rather than custom implementations.

When to use it

  • When developing Go code for your AI agent that requires request-scoped data like authentication information or trace IDs.
  • To ensure adherence to established Go conventions regarding context management.
  • When refactoring existing Go code to improve clarity and maintainability by correctly handling contexts.
  • If you need a reminder of the preferred methods for passing application data within your agent's Go codebase.

Key capabilities

  • Enforces the convention of accepting context.Context as the first parameter in functions.
  • Discourages storing context.Context within struct types, advocating for explicit parameter passing.
  • Prohibits the creation of custom context types and promotes using the standard context.Context.
  • Provides guidance on where to store application data (function parameters, receiver, globals, or context values).

Example prompts

  • "How should I pass a deadline to this Go function?"
  • "What's the best way to manage request IDs in my Go agent?"
  • "Remind me of the rules for using context.Context in Go."

Tips & gotchas

  • This skill is specifically tailored for Go development and won’t be applicable to other programming languages.
  • While context values are useful for request-scoped data, avoid using them for optional function parameters or configuration that doesn't vary per request.
  • Be mindful of interfaces requiring specific method signatures when deciding whether to adhere strictly to the "no Context in structs" rule.
