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.
Pinned to a commit: passed
Scanned ahonn/dotfiles at dfe57ed1f7.
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 provides knowledge and application of common design patterns within the Rust programming language. It enables AI agents to suggest, implement, and explain these patterns in code, leading to more maintainable and efficient software solutions. The agent can assist with refactoring existing Rust codebases or designing new systems from scratch using established architectural principles.
When to use it
- Code Refactoring: When needing to improve the structure and readability of an existing Rust project.
- New Project Design: To guide the architecture of a new Rust application, ensuring adherence to best practices.
- Learning & Explanation: For developers seeking to understand how and why specific design patterns are applied in Rust code.
- Code Review Assistance: To identify opportunities for applying design patterns during code reviews.
Key capabilities
- Knowledge of common Rust design patterns (specific patterns not listed)
- Ability to suggest appropriate design patterns for given scenarios
- Generation of code examples demonstrating pattern implementation
- Explanation of the benefits and drawbacks of different design patterns in Rust
Example prompts
- "Suggest a design pattern for managing configuration data in my Rust application."
- "Show me an example of implementing the Observer pattern in Rust."
- "How can I use the Strategy pattern to handle different payment methods?"
Tips & gotchas
The agent's effectiveness depends on providing clear context regarding the problem domain and existing codebase. While it understands common patterns, familiarity with Rust’s ownership system is helpful for optimal results.
