Checked
actionbook·vlatest·backend

Visualize Rust project dependencies from Cargo.toml using a clear graph for improved understanding and debugging.

Repository

Install on your platform

Showing Claude Code. One command installs this skill into any of the agents below.

  1. 1

    Run this in your project

    terminal
    $ npx skills add actionbook/rust-skills --skill rust-deps-visualizer -a claude-code

  2. Uses the open-source skills CLI and needs Node.js. Add -g to install it for your user instead of this project.

Install target

Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

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

    Scanned actionbook/rust-skills at 5c40d3ad78.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

The rust-deps-visualizer skill generates interactive dependency graphs for Rust projects, mapping out crate relationships and version constraints directly from Cargo.toml files. It helps developers quickly identify transitive dependencies and visualize the structure of their software supply chain without manual parsing.

When to use it

  • Audit a new Rust codebase to understand external library usage before committing to a project.
  • Identify potential security vulnerabilities by visualizing outdated or vulnerable transitive crates.
  • Debug complex dependency conflicts where multiple packages require incompatible versions of the same crate.
  • Document system architecture for onboarding new team members unfamiliar with the specific dependencies.

Key capabilities

  • Parses Cargo.toml files to extract direct and indirect dependencies.
  • Renders interactive visualizations showing the hierarchy of Rust crates.
  • Highlights version constraints and relationships between packages.
  • Integrates seamlessly into development workflows for rapid dependency analysis.

Example prompts

  • "Visualize the dependency tree for my current Rust project located at ./src/Cargo.toml."
  • "Generate a graph showing all transitive dependencies for the tokio crate in this repository."
  • "Identify and visualize any duplicate or conflicting version constraints in this Cargo manifest."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure your Cargo.lock file is up to date before running the visualizer, as it provides the most accurate version data. The tool focuses on structural relationships; for deep security scanning, combine this visualization with dedicated vulnerability scanners like cargo-audit.
