What it does

Go Skills is an agent skill from llama-farm/llamafarm. Shared Go best practices for LlamaFarm CLI. Covers idiomatic patterns, error handling, and testing.

Its SKILL.md is about 760 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files (for example `concurrency.md`, `error-handling.md` and `patterns.md`).

It sits in Development, covering Error handling. The repository describes itself as: Deploy any AI model, agent, database, RAG, and pipeline locally or remotely in minutes. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

Tasks that involve Error handling

Example prompts

“/go-skills”

Requirements

Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Grep, Glob

Workflow steps

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

"Don't communicate by sharing memory; share memory by communicating"
"Errors are values"
"A little copying is better than a little dependency"
"Clear is better than clever"
"Design the architecture, name the components, document the details"

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6244d46. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
- Read
- Grep
- Glob
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are go).
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

Go Skills loads about 755 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 27 tokens; SKILL.md has 215 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~27
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~755

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.

SKILL.md

The full file from llama-farm/llamafarm at commit 6244d46, republished under its Apache-2.0 licence (© llama-farm). 215 words, ~755 tokens.

Go Skills for LlamaFarm CLI

Shared Go best practices for LlamaFarm CLI development. These guidelines ensure idiomatic, maintainable, and secure Go code.

Tech Stack

Go 1.24+
Cobra (CLI framework)
Bubbletea (TUI framework)
Lipgloss (terminal styling)

Directory Structure

  cmd/           # Command implementations
    config/      # Configuration types and loading

  internal/      # Internal packages
    tui/         # TUI components
    buildinfo/   # Build information

Quick Reference

Error Handling

Always wrap errors with context: fmt.Errorf("operation failed: %w", err)
Use sentinel errors for expected conditions: var ErrNotFound = errors.New("not found")
Check errors immediately after function calls

Concurrency

Use sync.Mutex for shared state protection
Use sync.RWMutex when reads dominate writes
Use channels for goroutine communication
Always use defer for mutex unlocks

Testing

Use table-driven tests for comprehensive coverage
Use interfaces for mockability
Test file names: *_test.go in same package

Security

Never log credentials or tokens
Redact sensitive headers in debug logs
Validate all external input
Use context.Context for cancellation

Checklist Files

File	Description
patterns.md	Idiomatic Go patterns
concurrency.md	Goroutines, channels, sync
error-handling.md	Error wrapping, sentinels
testing.md	Table-driven tests, mocks
security.md	Input validation, secure coding

Go Proverbs to Remember

"Don't communicate by sharing memory; share memory by communicating"
"Errors are values"
"A little copying is better than a little dependency"
"Clear is better than clever"
"Design the architecture, name the components, document the details"

Common Patterns in This Codebase

HTTP Client Interface

type HTTPClient interface {
    Do(req *http.Request) (*http.Response, error)
}

Process Management with Mutex

type ProcessManager struct {
    mu        sync.RWMutex
    processes map[string]*ProcessInfo
}

Cobra Command Pattern

var myCmd = &cobra.Command{
    Use:   "mycommand",
    Short: "Brief description",
    RunE: func(cmd *cobra.Command, args []string) error {
        // Implementation
        return nil
    },
}

Bubbletea Model Pattern

type myModel struct {
    // State fields
}

func (m myModel) Init() tea.Cmd { return nil }
func (m myModel) Update(msg tea.Msg) (tea.Model, tea.Cmd) { /* ... */ }
func (m myModel) View() string { return "" }
