Go Donor Reference Map

Use this page when a planning row names a Go implementation shape but the builder contract is still vague. Hermes Python remains the parity target; these Go projects provide implementation patterns only.

The operational workflow is:

Hermes contract -> smallest Go donor pattern -> progress.json row -> TDD slice

Do not use this page to bypass progress.json. If the donor study changes implementation intent, update the canonical row with source_refs, write_scope, test_commands, acceptance, and provenance.

Permission Guardrail

Donor	Gormes use
`goclaw`	Code may be ported with a provenance comment; Juan granted explicit Gormes permission. Preserve Hermes UX/config semantics even when the donor shape differs.
`nanobot`	Patterns and adapted code with attribution. Best for runtime wiring, tool host boundaries, truncation, and image token estimates.
`engram`	Patterns and adapted code with attribution. Best for SQLite/FTS5 memory, relation vocabulary, MCP write queues, and audit logging.
`trpc-agent-go`	Patterns and adapted code with attribution. Best for await-user-reply routing and callback separation.
`adk-go`	Patterns and adapted code with attribution. Best for loop/sequential/parallel workflow-agent primitives.
`plandex`	Patterns by default; verify per-file license before copying. Best for provider drift, retry, and error classification.
`axe`	Patterns and adapted code with attribution. Best for small token-budget and artifact-tracker utilities.
`agentcontrolplane`, `uzi`	Patterns only unless a separate review grants copy permission.

When code is adapted from a donor, the receiving Go file needs a short provenance comment naming the donor file and why the shape fits Gormes. Donor package names must not leak into Gormes exported APIs.

Donor Lookup By Plan Class

Plan class	Hermes parity target	Go donor refs	What the row should freeze
Provider auth, OAuth, quota, retry, streaming errors	`../hermes-agent/agent/*`, provider setup/auth paths, gateway-visible provider errors	`references/go-agent-os/GORMES-PROVIDER-PATTERN-REFERENCES.md`, `goclaw/internal/oauth/openai.go`, `goclaw/internal/oauth/openai_quota_transport.go`, `plandex/app/server/model/model_error.go`	Resolver precedence, no empty base URLs, OAuth refresh/relogin evidence, Retry-After parsing, sanitized provider errors, hermetic `httptest` fixtures.
Runtime and MCP/tool host	Hermes tool registry/toolset semantics, MCP tool behavior, channel trust classes	`nanobot/pkg/runtime/runtime.go`, `nanobot/pkg/tools/service.go`, `nanobot/pkg/tools/flows.go`, `trpc-agent-go/tool/*`	Explicit options/default layering, tool declaration/filter/call boundary, before/after callbacks, unavailable-tool evidence, no adoption of Nanobot config semantics.
Tool-result budget and artifacts	Hermes tool-result envelopes and operator-visible truncation behavior	`nanobot/pkg/agents/truncate.go`, `nanobot/pkg/agents/tokencount.go`, `axe/internal/artifact/tracker.go`, `axe/internal/budget/budget.go`	Persist full oversized output, return bounded pointer text, sanitize paths, estimate image tokens by decoded dimensions, expose write failure as degraded evidence.
Context compression and prompt cache	`../hermes-agent/agent/context_compressor.py`, `agent/prompt_caching.py`, matching upstream tests	`nanobot/pkg/agents/tokencount.go`, `axe/internal/budget/budget.go`, provider-pattern notes for cache/error visibility	Token-budget tail selection, protected head messages, tool-call/result pairing, cache marker policy matrix, visible unsupported-provider stripping.
Goncho memory and Honcho-compatible local state	Honcho sessions/messages/search/memory contracts and Hermes memory tool behavior	`engram/internal/store/store.go`, `engram/internal/store/relations.go`, `engram/internal/mcp/write_queue.go`, `engram/internal/mcp/activity.go`	SQLite/FTS5 schema shape, relation verbs, deterministic serialized writes, panic/cancel/queue-full evidence, append-only redacted activity logs.
Await-user-reply tools and interruptible flows	Hermes `clarify`, approvals, TUI/gateway callbacks, cron/oneshot noninteractive behavior	`trpc-agent-go/agent/await_user_reply.go`, `trpc-agent-go/agent/callbacks.go`, `trpc-agent-go/model/callbacks.go`	One-shot resume token, route normalization, callback state split from core turn, timeout/unavailable output, route cleanup after the next user reply.
Workflow/subagent orchestration	Hermes delegation/subagent tool behavior, gateway active-turn policy, skill-builder rows	`adk-go/agent/workflowagents/...`, `agentcontrolplane/acp/internal/controller/*/state_machine.go`, `uzi/pkg/state/state.go`	Explicit turn/job states, local locks before distributed leases, cancellation, dependency checks, per-session state, no Kubernetes/tmux dependency in core runtime.

Row Checklist

Before promoting a row out of umbrella, answer all of these in the row:

Which Hermes file, symbol, command, fixture, or commit owns the user-visible behavior?
Which single Go donor file was read end to end, and what pattern is being adapted?
Which Gormes package owns the caller-facing interface?
What degraded evidence appears when the capability is unavailable?
What local fixture proves the behavior without live credentials, live providers, live platforms, or a real browser?
Does copied/adapted code require a provenance comment or a license check?

Rows that cannot answer these stay as umbrellas or route to gormes-interface-designer for a package-boundary pass.
