Showing Claude Code. One command installs this skill into any of the agents below.

  1. 1

    Run this in your project

    terminal
    $ npx skills add curiouslearner/devkit --skill rust-cargo-assistant -a claude-code

  2. Uses the open-source skills CLI and needs Node.js. Add -g to install it for your user instead of this project.

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 curiouslearner/devkit at 3fa45b7ab3.

    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-cargo-assistant skill automates common Rust project management tasks using Cargo, Rust's build system and package manager. It can create new Rust projects with specified dependencies, run tests, and manage project structure by adding or removing files. This allows for streamlined development workflows and reduces manual configuration overhead.

When to use it

  • Project Setup: Quickly initialize a new Rust project with pre-defined dependencies for rapid prototyping.
  • Test Execution: Run unit or integration tests within a Rust project, verifying code functionality.
  • Dependency Management: Add or remove external crates (Rust packages) from an existing project's Cargo.toml file.
  • File Generation: Create new Rust source files (e.g., .rs) within a project to structure your codebase.

Key capabilities

  • Project creation with dependencies
  • Test execution
  • Dependency management (adding/removing crates)
  • File generation

Example prompts

  • "Create a new Rust project named 'my_app' with the serde and tokio crates as dependencies."
  • "Run all tests in the current Rust project."
  • "Add the clap crate to my Cargo.toml file."
  • “Generate a new file called src/main.rs”

Tips & gotchas

The skill requires a Rust development environment (Rust toolchain) to be installed and configured on the system where it is being used. Ensure that you have Cargo set up correctly before using this skill, as it relies heavily on its commands.
