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 2 Oct 2026

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 hwatkins/my-skills at d245c4fdd3.
The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

Scanned: 1 file, 262 lines

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-core skill provides foundational capabilities related to the Rust programming language. It enables AI agents to understand, generate, and manipulate Rust code snippets. Specifically, this includes tasks like compiling simple programs, explaining basic syntax, and identifying common errors in provided Rust code.

When to use it

Code generation: Generate small Rust programs based on natural language descriptions of functionality.
Debugging assistance: Help identify potential issues or bugs within existing Rust code snippets.
Learning resource: Explain fundamental concepts of the Rust programming language and provide examples.
Code translation: Translate simple algorithms from other languages into basic Rust implementations.

Key capabilities

Rust code compilation
Syntax explanation
Error identification
Basic program generation

Example prompts

"Write a Rust program that prints 'Hello, world!'"
"Explain the purpose of fn main() in Rust."
"What's wrong with this Rust code: println("hello")?"

Tips & gotchas

The skill is best suited for simple tasks and introductory concepts. Complex projects or advanced features of Rust may be beyond its current capabilities.
