At a glance

A skill your agent uses for Go changes in Neva: authoring, refactoring, debugging, or review.

  • Go changes in Neva: authoring
  • SKILL.md covers Rules and Runtime
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Tasks that involve Refactoring

What it does

Go is an agent skill from nevalang/neva. Use for Go changes in Neva: authoring, refactoring, debugging, or review.

Its SKILL.md is about 390 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Development, covering Refactoring. It works with Go. The repository describes itself as: Dataflow programming language where you write a program as a message-passing graph and everything runs in parallel by default. It has strong static types, compiles to machine… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Go changes in Neva: authoring
  • Tasks that involve Refactoring

Example prompts

  • “/go”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 127afd9. 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

    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 388 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 19 tokens; SKILL.md has 193 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~19
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~388

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.

Rules

  • Follow idiomatic Go as described by Effective Go, the Go documentation, and established repository patterns.
  • Source of truth for style and APIs: .golangci.yml, go.mod, and existing code patterns.
  • Treat go.mod as the version ceiling for Go features and stdlib APIs.
  • Prefer modern Go idioms available in the target version over legacy patterns.
  • Return early to keep control flow flat. Prefer straightforward code and standard-library primitives over clever abstractions.
  • Always run gofmt on changed Go files.
  • Respect active lints.
  • Never add file-wide or package-wide nolint directives. If suppression is unavoidable, keep it narrowly scoped to the exact line/rule and add a short justification.
  • Prefer Makefile targets for standard checks when applicable.
  • Do not add helper functions or methods unless they abstract at least two meaningful operations or remove real complexity.
  • Never ignore errors, including assignment to _. Either return an error (wrapping when useful) or handle it locally; do not report an error and then continue as though it were handled.
  • Add doc comments for new exported Go functions and types.

Runtime

  • For internal/runtime/funcs/**, follow docs/developer/runtime-functions.md.
