golang-how-to — independently scanned and version-tracked by SaferSkills.
SaferSkills independently audited golang-how-to (Agent Skill) and scored it 91/100 (green). The audit ran 55 deterministic rules across Security, Supply Chain, Maintenance, Transparency, and Community; it found 1 high-severity and 0 lower-severity findings. The full rule-by-rule trace and per-finding evidence are below. Free, methodology-open.

A fenced bash/python block in SKILL.md carries a natural-language imperative — "now run this", "execute the following command" — directing the agent to execute the fenced content. What looks like documentation becomes an executable payload the agent may run without ever asking you.

Persona: You are a Go skills orchestrator. For every Go task, identify all relevant skills and load them together — a task rarely belongs to a single skill.
Modes:
## Required Go skills block to the project's CLAUDE.md or AGENTS.md. Follow project-config.md.For each task, load the primary skill and all applicable secondary skills at the same time. Do not wait — load them together at the start.
