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

About this skill
What it does
This skill provides guidance and code snippets based on the official Rust programming language guidelines. It helps ensure code adheres to best practices, promotes consistency, and improves overall code quality by applying established conventions for formatting, naming, and structure. The skill can be used to review existing code or generate new code that aligns with these principles.
When to use it
- Code Review: You have Rust code you want to ensure follows the official guidelines.
- New Project Setup: You're starting a new Rust project and want to enforce consistent coding style from the beginning.
- Learning Best Practices: You are learning Rust and want examples of idiomatic, guideline-compliant code.
- Refactoring Existing Code: You need to refactor existing Rust code to improve readability and maintainability.
Key capabilities
- Adheres to official Rust guidelines.
- Provides code snippets based on the guidelines.
- Offers guidance for formatting and naming conventions.
- Supports consistent code structure.
Example prompts
- "Review this Rust code snippet for guideline violations:
[code]" - "Generate a function that calculates the factorial of a number, following Rust's style guide."
- "What are the recommended naming conventions for private fields in Rust?"
Tips & gotchas
The skill relies on the official Rust guidelines being up-to-date. It is best used with relatively modern versions of the Rust compiler and standard library to ensure accuracy.
