Automated safety checks
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

About this skill
What it does
This skill provides developers with common Go (Golang) programming patterns and best practices, helping them write efficient, maintainable, and idiomatic code. It includes guidance on structuring projects, managing concurrency, handling errors, and using standard libraries effectively.
When to use it
- When building scalable backend services in Go and looking for proven architectural approaches.
- When refactoring legacy Go code to follow modern best practices.
- When teaching or mentoring other developers on idiomatic Go development.
- When optimizing performance and reducing technical debt in a Go project.
Key capabilities
- Covers common Go design patterns like dependency injection, middleware, and service layers.
- Explains idiomatic use of goroutines, channels, and concurrency primitives.
- Provides best practices for error handling, logging, and testing in Go.
- Includes examples of structuring Go projects with modular packages.
Example prompts
- "Explain how to implement dependency injection in a Go web application."
- "Show me an example of a middleware pattern in Go for authentication."
- "What are the best practices for error handling in Go?"
Tips & gotchas
- Familiarity with basic Go syntax and project structure is recommended.
- Some patterns may require adjustments based on specific use cases or frameworks.
