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 mohitmishra786/low-level-dev-skills at bdc58472fa.

    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

This skill allows an AI agent to utilize the Rust compiler (rustc) for basic compilation tasks. It can take a Rust source file as input, compile it into an executable binary, and provide error messages if compilation fails. The agent understands command-line arguments commonly used with rustc, enabling simple build processes.

When to use it

  • Simple project builds: Compile small Rust programs or components directly from source code.
  • Error analysis: Examine compiler output for errors in a Rust program and report them back.
  • Basic testing: Create and compile test executables to verify functionality.
  • Learning Rust: Assist users learning the Rust language by compiling their practice code snippets.

Key capabilities

  • Compiles Rust source files (.rs).
  • Handles command-line arguments for rustc.
  • Provides compiler error messages.
  • Generates executable binaries.

Example prompts

  • "Compile this Rust file: main.rs."
  • "What errors are in the following code? [Rust code]"
  • "Create an executable from hello_world.rs."

Tips & gotchas

  • Requires a working Rust development environment (including rustc) to be installed on the system where the agent is running.
  • The skill focuses on basic compilation; more complex build processes involving dependencies or advanced features might require additional skills.
