What it does

Go Language Correctness is an agent skill from hashgraph-online/awesome-codex-plugins. Review and improve Go language-level correctness across numeric conversions, overflow, slices, maps, range loops, comparisons, strings, runes, UTF-8, defer evaluation, and version-dependent semantics. Use when reviewing agent-generated Go, debugging surprising mutation or memory retention, validating parsing and text handling, or checking code that depends on representation, aliasing, iteration, or runtime behavior.

Its SKILL.md is about 690 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 11 other files, including reference files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`, `guidelines.md` and `references/language-correctness/checklist.md`). Compatibility notes: Codex, Claude Code, and other Agent Skills-compatible clients.

It sits in Development. The repository describes itself as: A curated list of awesome OpenAI Codex / ChatGPT plugins, skills, and resources. The 1 Codex Marketplace. See live plugins at: https://hol.org/plugins/best-codex-plugins. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Reviewing agent-generated Go
  • Debugging surprising mutation
  • Memory retention
  • Validating parsing and text handling

Example prompts

  • “/go-language-correctness”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Codex, Claude Code, and other Agent Skills-compatible clients.

Workflow steps

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

  1. Record the module and file language versions plus supported targets.
  2. Identify external numeric, binary, and text boundaries.
  3. Trace slice and map ownership, aliasing, capacity authority, and retention.
  4. Review range copying, mutation, ordering, control flow, and resource scope.
  5. Distinguish bytes, runes, UTF-8 validity, and user-perceived characters.
  6. Separate language guarantees from compiler, runtime, and architecture details.
  7. Add focused boundary tests and run the repository's analyzers.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9e7b281. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

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

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • go.dev
    • pkg.go.dev

    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.

  • Compatibility

    Codex, Claude Code, and other Agent Skills-compatible clients.

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Go Language Correctness loads about 692 tokens when it runs, and up to ~3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 111 tokens; SKILL.md has 233 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~111
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~692
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~3k

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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Go Language Correctness

Review guarantees before implementation details. Establish the module's Go language version, then trace representation, ownership, iteration, and text semantics through observable behavior.

Core Workflow

  1. Record the module and file language versions plus supported targets.
  2. Identify external numeric, binary, and text boundaries.
  3. Trace slice and map ownership, aliasing, capacity authority, and retention.
  4. Review range copying, mutation, ordering, control flow, and resource scope.
  5. Distinguish bytes, runes, UTF-8 validity, and user-perceived characters.
  6. Separate language guarantees from compiler, runtime, and architecture details.
  7. Add focused boundary tests and run the repository's analyzers.

Inspect compact bad/good patternsreferences/language-correctness/examples.md
Verify a change before completionreferences/language-correctness/checklist.md

Guardrails

  • Do not convert before checking sign, width, or arithmetic bounds.
  • Do not describe a view, reslice, or clipped capacity as an independent copy.
  • Do not rely on map order, append growth, bucket layout, or compiler heuristics.
  • Do not apply pre-Go-1.22 loop-capture advice without checking language version.
  • Do not call byte length, rune count, or grapheme count "characters" without defining it.
  • Route measured performance claims to go-performance-testing.
