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-refactor-helper skill streamlines Rust code maintenance by analyzing existing implementations and generating optimized refactorings. It specifically targets performance bottlenecks, memory safety issues, and adherence to idiomatic Rust patterns within backend systems.

When to use it

  • Modernizing legacy Rust codebases that rely on outdated standard library features or unsafe blocks.
  • Optimizing high-throughput backend services where memory allocation overhead is a critical constraint.
  • Enforcing consistent coding standards across a team by automatically aligning code with community best practices.
  • Preparing production-ready code for deployment by resolving potential race conditions and data races.

Key capabilities

  • Automated identification of performance bottlenecks in Rust logic.
  • Generation of memory-safe alternatives to unsafe implementations.
  • Refactoring suggestions that prioritize idiomatic Rust patterns.
  • Analysis of code structure to propose architectural improvements for backend services.

Example prompts

  • "Analyze this Rust module and suggest refactors to reduce heap allocations in the request handling loop."
  • "Identify any unsafe blocks in this service implementation and provide safe, idiomatic replacements."
  • "Refactor this legacy data processing function to use modern async patterns and improve concurrency."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure your source code is up-to-date with the latest Rust edition before running refactors, as the skill relies on current standard library capabilities. While the tool generates optimized code, always review generated changes for business logic correctness before committing them to production.
