Rust Symbol Analyzer

What it does

The thurbeen-rust-symbol-analyzer skill analyzes Rust code to extract and provide information about symbols, such as function names, variable types, and struct fields. It can be used to understand unfamiliar codebases or generate documentation. This skill is particularly useful when needing detailed insights into the structure and components of Rust projects.

When to use it

• Code Understanding: Quickly grasp the purpose and functionality of a new Rust codebase by identifying key symbols and their types.
• Documentation Generation: Automate the process of creating documentation for Rust libraries or applications.
• Reverse Engineering: Analyze compiled binaries to understand the underlying code structure (with appropriate permissions).
• Debugging Assistance: Identify potential issues by examining symbol information during debugging sessions.

Key capabilities

• Symbol extraction from Rust source code.
• Identification of function names and signatures.
• Determination of variable types.
• Listing struct fields and their associated types.

Example prompts

• "Analyze this Rust code snippet: [code] and list all functions."
• "What are the fields in the MyStruct struct from this file: my_struct.rs?"
• “Extract all global variables and their types from src/main.rs.”

Tips & gotchas

• The skill requires access to Rust source code files. Ensure the AI agent has appropriate permissions to read these files.
• Large or complex codebases may take longer to analyze.
