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 redisearch/redisearch at c8f9d94e77.

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

About this skill

What it does

This skill reduces the complexity of Rust Foreign Function Interface (FFI) crates by generating minimal, safe wrappers around existing C libraries. It streamlines integration by automatically handling boilerplate code and ensuring type safety between Rust and C boundaries.

When to use it

  • You need to integrate legacy C libraries into a modern Rust backend without writing manual FFI glue code.
  • Your team wants to reduce maintenance overhead associated with complex FFI error handling and memory management.
  • You are building high-performance services where minimizing the Rust crate surface area improves compilation times and security auditing.
  • You require automatic generation of safe Rust types that map directly to C struct definitions.

Key capabilities

  • Generates minimal, safe Rust wrappers for external C libraries.
  • Automatically handles boilerplate FFI declarations and type conversions.
  • Reduces the overall size and complexity of the Rust dependency tree.
  • Ensures safer interaction between managed Rust code and unmanaged C memory.

Example prompts

  • "Generate a minimal safe Rust wrapper for the libcurl C library to handle HTTP requests."
  • "Create FFI bindings for a legacy C math library, ensuring all types are safely mapped in Rust."
  • "Reduce the surface area of my Rust project by auto-generating wrappers for the zlib compression functions."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure you have the target C library's header files available before running this skill, as it relies on parsing them to generate accurate bindings. While this approach significantly reduces boilerplate, manually reviewing generated code remains essential to verify memory safety guarantees in specific edge cases.
