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 wshobson/agents at 46891e7e60.

    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

The rust-async-patterns skill provides guidance on implementing asynchronous programming patterns in Rust, including handling concurrency, managing tasks with tokio, and using async/await effectively. It covers best practices for writing efficient and safe non-blocking code.

When to use it

  • Building high-performance backend services that require concurrent I/O operations.
  • Developing networked applications or APIs that need to handle multiple requests simultaneously.
  • Writing Rust programs that interact with external systems like databases, websockets, or HTTP clients asynchronously.

Key capabilities

  • Explains async/await syntax and its usage in Rust.
  • Demonstrates how to use tokio for asynchronous task management.
  • Covers best practices for error handling in async code.
  • Provides examples of common patterns such as futures, streams, and channels.

Example prompts

  • "How do I write an async HTTP server in Rust using tokio?"
  • "What are the best practices for managing multiple async tasks in a Rust application?"
  • "Can you show me how to use async/await with a PostgreSQL database in Rust?"

Tips & gotchas

  • Ensure your project is set up with tokio as the runtime by adding it to your Cargo.toml.
  • Be mindful of blocking operations—use .spawn_blocking() for CPU-intensive tasks that shouldn't run on the async thread pool.
