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
Scanned peopleforrester/claude-dotfiles at db7caa0374.
The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

About this skill
What it does
This skill provides access to a collection of Go programming patterns and best practices. It allows users to understand common design solutions for building robust and maintainable applications, covering areas like error handling, concurrency, and testing. The skill aims to improve code quality and developer efficiency when working with the Go language.
When to use it
- Code review assistance: Ask the agent to identify potential improvements or alternative approaches in existing Go code snippets.
- Learning new patterns: Request explanations of specific Go design patterns, such as dependency injection or context management.
- Generating boilerplate code: Generate initial code structures based on established Go conventions and best practices for a new project.
- Debugging assistance: Describe a problem in your Go application, and the agent can suggest solutions leveraging common Go idioms.
Key capabilities
- Provides explanations of various Go programming patterns.
- Offers guidance on error handling techniques.
- Demonstrates concurrency approaches using goroutines and channels.
- Suggests best practices for writing unit tests in Go.
Example prompts
- "Explain the 'dependency injection' pattern in Go."
- "How can I handle errors gracefully in my Go application?"
- "Generate a basic HTTP server structure in Go with error handling."
- "What are some best practices for writing unit tests in Go?"
Tips & gotchas
This skill assumes a basic understanding of the Go programming language. While it explains patterns, familiarity with core Go concepts is helpful to fully grasp the provided solutions.
