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 copyleftdev/sk1llz at 92361f525f.

    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

What it does

This skill enables an AI agent to explain Rust programming concepts in a clear and accessible way, similar to how Natalie Klabnik teaches. It can break down complex topics into smaller steps, provide practical examples, and adapt explanations based on the learner's understanding. The agent is designed to help users learn Rust effectively through guided instruction.

When to use it

  • A new developer wants to understand ownership in Rust.
  • An experienced programmer needs a refresher on lifetimes.
  • You want an AI to generate code examples illustrating specific Rust features.
  • Debugging a Rust program and need help understanding the error message.

Key capabilities

  • Explains Rust concepts clearly
  • Provides practical examples
  • Adapts explanations based on learner's level
  • Generates Rust code snippets

Example prompts

  • "Explain Rust ownership to me like I’m a beginner."
  • "Can you give me an example of how to use lifetimes in Rust?"
  • "Show me some code that demonstrates the borrow checker."

Tips & gotchas

The skill's effectiveness relies on providing context about your current understanding of Rust. Starting with basic concepts and gradually increasing complexity will yield better results.
