At a glance

Plan, implement, and review a task end-to-end — review-code + ReviewHog in parallel, every review addressed, PR marked ready, CI watched to green, stamphog asked to approve, open items explained.

  • Works in 3 steps: $plan_dir/$SLUG.md → $plan_dir/${branch##*/}.md (branch name… → If the directory contains exactly one…
  • Tasks that involve Code review
  • SKILL.md covers Harness, Arguments, State file and Steps
  • Runs Python scripts from its folder; calls git, gh and python3

What it does

Go is an agent skill from haacked/dotfiles. Plan, implement, and review a task end-to-end — review-code + ReviewHog in parallel, every review addressed, PR marked ready, CI watched to green, stamphog asked to approve, open items explained. Idempotent — re-running reports where the pipeline stands and resumes from the first incomplete step.

Its SKILL.md is about 12k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/codex-ci.md`, `scripts/run-review.py` and `scripts/tests/test_run_review.py`).

It sits in Development, covering Code review. The repository describes itself as: My dotfiles and scripts I use on dev machines.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Code review

Example prompts

  • “/go”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. $plan_dir/$SLUG.md
  2. $plan_dir/${branch##*/}.md (branch name minus any owner/ prefix)
  3. If the directory contains exactly one .md file, use it

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 23ffed9. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 2 files in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • git
    • gh
    • python3
    • jq
    • codex
    • bash
    • claude

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git and gh, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Go loads about 12k tokens when it runs, and up to ~13k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 75 tokens; SKILL.md has 6,447 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~75
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~12k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~13k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 6,447 words (~11,695 tokens).

“End-to-end orchestrator: plan → implement → simplify → commit → open draft PR → request a ReviewHog round → run review-code --fix while ReviewHog works → address every review comment → simplify the review fixes → mark the PR ready…”

Questions about Go

What does Go do?

Go is an agent skill from haacked/dotfiles.

When should I use Go?

Go fits situations like: tasks that involve Code review.

How do I install Go in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add haacked/dotfiles --skill go -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (ai/skills/go in haacked/dotfiles) into .claude/skills/go in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install Go in Codex?

Run `npx skills add haacked/dotfiles --skill go -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (ai/skills/go in haacked/dotfiles) into .agents/skills/go in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Go in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add haacked/dotfiles --skill go -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/go, .gemini/skills/go, .github/skills/go and .opencode/skills/go in your project.

What does Go need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Go needs Python for the scripts in its folder and the command-line tools its instructions call (git, gh, python3, jq, codex and bash). Our summary lists: Python 3.

Does Go access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Its commands use git and gh, which can reach the network depending on how they are called. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Go safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. The check reads SKILL.md only: the scripts in the folder are not scanned, so read them before running anything.

What licence does Go use?

No licence was found for Go or its repository. Without one, default copyright applies: ask the author before reusing or redistributing it.

How many tokens does Go use?

About 12k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 47k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 1k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.

What are the alternatives to Go?

Skills that share tags, products or a category with Go: PR Babysitter (openinterpreter/openinterpreter, 69k stars), Code Review Checklist (shareAI-lab/learn-claude-code, 78k stars), Backend Code Review (langflow-ai/langflow, 156k stars) and Understand Diff Analysis (Egonex-AI/Understand-Anything, 86k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
