Automated safety checks
This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.
Declares what it does: passed
SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.
SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.
No undeclared network calls: passed
Makes no network calls.
Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.
No obfuscated payloads: passed
No encoded or obfuscated payloads.
No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.
No credential access: passed
Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.
Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.
No pipe-to-shell installers: passed
No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.
No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.
Pinned to a commit: passed

About this skill
m06-error-handling
What it does
This Rust skill enables AI agents to gracefully manage runtime failures by catching panics and handling errors within Result types. It ensures that agent workflows continue robustly even when unexpected issues occur during execution.
When to use it
- Prevent crashes: Stop your agent from terminating abruptly when encountering invalid inputs or network timeouts.
- Structured logging: Capture error details automatically to aid in debugging complex backend operations.
- Graceful degradation: Allow the agent to return meaningful fallback responses instead of raw stack traces.
- Type safety enforcement: Leverage Rust's compile-time guarantees to ensure all error paths are explicitly handled before deployment.
Key capabilities
- Panic recovery mechanisms for unstable runtime states.
- Native
Resulttype integration for clear success/failure signaling. - Context-aware error propagation across function calls.
- Compile-time verification of error handling coverage.
Example prompts
- "Write a Rust function that fetches user data and handles network errors without crashing."
- "Create an agent workflow that gracefully degrades when the database connection times out."
- "Implement panic recovery for a critical calculation module in my backend service."
Tips & gotchas
Ensure you define specific error variants in your Result types rather than using generic messages. This skill relies on Rust's strict type system, so incomplete error handling will fail to compile, forcing you to address every potential failure mode upfront.
