What it does

Code Formatter is an agent skill from pilinux/gorest. Apply repository-standard formatting to minimize diff noise and meet linter expectations.

Its SKILL.md is about 220 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 Linting and formatting. The repository describes itself as: Go RESTful API starter kit with Gin, JWT, GORM (MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite), Redis, Mongo, 2FA, email verification, password recovery. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Linting and formatting

Example prompts

  • “/code-formatter”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 38aab64. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • 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

Code Formatter loads about 223 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 26 tokens; SKILL.md has 90 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~26
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~223

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.

Code Formatter

When to Use

  • After making code edits and before running linters/tests or opening a PR.

Rules

  • Prefer go fmt ./... for Go files; do not perform sweeping reformatting unless requested.
  • Only format files you changed unless the user asks for a global reformat.
  • Run gofmt/goimports where appropriate and include updated imports in the patch.

Commands

  • Format: go fmt ./... (or gofmt -w . when explicitly requested)
  • Verify: golangci-lint run --timeout 5m --verbose ./... after formatting

Output

  • Files formatted: list of changed files.
  • Next: recommended lint or test command.
  • patch-applier, linter-runner
