Install target

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 thurbeen/rust-skills at 6029cb39b5.

    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, thurbeen-m03-mutability, provides an AI agent with understanding and capabilities related to mutability in Rust. It allows agents to reason about ownership, borrowing, and mutable references within the context of Rust code. The skill enables accurate analysis and modification of Rust programs involving mutable state.

When to use it

  • Code Refactoring: When needing an AI agent to suggest improvements or modifications to existing Rust code that involves mutable data structures.
  • Bug Fixing: To assist in identifying and correcting errors related to incorrect usage of mutable references or ownership issues.
  • Learning Rust: As a tool for explaining complex concepts like borrowing and lifetimes within Rust's mutability system.
  • Code Generation: When generating new Rust code that requires careful management of mutable state, ensuring memory safety and correctness.

Key capabilities

  • Understanding of Rust’s ownership rules.
  • Reasoning about mutable references (&mut).
  • Analysis of borrowing patterns.
  • Identification of potential data races.
  • Explanation of lifetime annotations in relation to mutability.

Example prompts

  • "Explain how this code snippet uses mutable references and what the implications are for memory safety."
  • "Refactor this Rust function to avoid unnecessary mutable borrows."
  • "Identify any potential data race conditions in this program involving shared mutable state."

Tips & gotchas

  • Requires a foundational understanding of Rust programming concepts. The agent will perform best when given context or code snippets with clear intent.
