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.

About this skill
What it does
This skill provides deep understanding and practical application of Rust's asynchronous programming internals. It allows for optimization of async code, debugging complex concurrency issues, and building custom async runtimes or primitives. The skill focuses on the underlying mechanisms like futures, executors, and context switching within the async framework.
When to use it
- Performance Tuning: Identify bottlenecks in existing asynchronous Rust applications and optimize critical sections for speed.
- Debugging Async Code: Troubleshoot deadlocks, race conditions, or unexpected behavior in complex concurrent systems.
- Custom Runtime Development: Build specialized async runtimes tailored to specific hardware or application requirements.
- Compiler/Tooling Development: Develop tools that analyze and manipulate asynchronous Rust code.
Key capabilities
- Understanding of
Futuretraits and their implementation. - Knowledge of different executor types and their trade-offs.
- Ability to debug async tasks and pinpoint concurrency issues.
- Familiarity with context switching mechanisms in async runtimes.
Example prompts
- "Explain how the
select!macro works internally." - "What are some common causes of deadlocks in asynchronous Rust code?"
- "How can I profile an async runtime to identify performance bottlenecks?"
Tips & gotchas
This skill requires a strong foundation in Rust fundamentals. A good understanding of ownership, borrowing, and lifetimes is essential for effectively utilizing the rust-async-internals skill.
