What it does

Golang Architecture is an agent skill from HoangNguyen0403/agent-skills-standard. Structure Go code with package-first boundaries, cmd/ and internal/, and explicit dependency wiring. Use when shaping project layout, package ownership, or service boundaries in Go; defer Redis/cache-specific implementation recipes to database skills.

Its SKILL.md is about 580 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including reference files (for example `evals/evals.json`, `references/clean-arch.md` and `references/project-layout.md`).

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Microservices and Caching. It works with Go and Redis. The repository describes itself as: A collection of Agent Skills Standard and Best Practice for Programming Languages, Frameworks that help our AI Agent follow best practies on frameworks and programming laguages. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Shaping project layout
  • Package ownership
  • Service boundaries in Go
  • Defer Redis/cache-specific implementation recipes to database skills

Example prompts

  • “/golang-architecture”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Place the entrypoint in cmd/.
  2. Create domain-owned packages under internal/.
  3. Expose constructors for services, repositories, and handlers.
  4. Keep business rules out of transport packages.
  5. Wire logging, config, DB, and HTTP server at startup.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b529c2d. 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

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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

Golang Architecture loads about 577 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.4k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 69 tokens; SKILL.md has 208 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~69
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~577
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.4k

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.

Structure Go code with package-first boundaries, `cmd/` and `internal/`, and explicit dependency wiring. Use when shaping project layout, package ownership, or service boundaries in Go; defer Redis/cache-specific implementation recipes to database skills.

Golang Architecture

Priority: P0 (CRITICAL)

Rules

  • Package-first design: organize by domain/capability before package-by-layer sprawl.
  • Layout: cmd/ for binaries, internal/ for private app code, pkg/ only for intentional reuse.
  • Wiring: compose dependencies in main or dedicated constructors, not via hidden globals.
  • Interfaces: define small interfaces on the consumer side.
  • Context: pass context.Context across I/O and request boundaries.

Recipe

  1. Place the entrypoint in cmd/<app>.
  2. Create domain-owned packages under internal/.
  3. Expose constructors for services, repositories, and handlers.
  4. Keep business rules out of transport packages.
  5. Wire logging, config, DB, and HTTP server at startup.

Verify

  • No package-level mutable singletons control runtime behavior.
  • Imports flow inward; transport and storage packages do not pull business rules outward.
  • Interfaces live with callers that need substitution.
  • main wires dependencies but does not hold business logic.
  • Request and DB paths accept context.Context.

Anti-Patterns

  • No package soup: avoid dumping unrelated code into internal/shared or pkg/utils.
  • No global singletons: use constructors; avoid package-level mutable variables.
  • No god services: split orchestration by capability.
  • No fake Clean Architecture theatre: package names must match real ownership.
