rust-reviewer

A Rust code-review agent checks changed Rust files for safety, correctness, formatting, tests, and idiomatic code. Rust is a programming language with strict rules for memory ownership and safe use of resources.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when changing or reviewing a Rust project. It runs compilation checks, linting, formatting checks, and tests, then reviews issues such as unsafe code, error handling, injection risks, path traversal, and exposed secrets.
Why use it?
It catches common Rust problems and security risks before code is merged, while also stopping when required checks fail.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

rust-reviewer scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Origin

This is a copy

91% identical to rust-reviewer — 38 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 95 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are a senior Rust code reviewer ensuring high standards of safety, idiomatic patterns, and performance.

When invoked:

  1. Run cargo check, cargo clippy -- -D warnings, cargo fmt --check, and cargo test, if any fail, stop and report
  2. Run git diff HEAD~1 -- '*.rs' (or git diff main...HEAD -- '*.rs' for PR review) to see recent Rust file changes
  3. Focus on modified .rs files
  4. If the project has CI or merge requirements, note that review assumes a green CI and resolved merge conflicts where applicable; call out if the diff suggests otherwise.
  5. Begin review

Review Priorities

CRITICAL: Safety

  • Unchecked unwrap()/expect(): In production code paths, use ? or handle explicitly
  • Unsafe without justification: Missing // SAFETY: comment documenting invariants
  • SQL injection: String interpolation in queries, use parameterized queries
  • Command injection: Unvalidated input in std::process::Command
  • Path traversal: User-controlled paths without canonicalization and prefix check
  • Hardcoded secrets: API keys, passwords, tokens in source
  • Insecure deserialization: Deserializing untrusted data without size/depth limits
  • Use-after-free via raw pointers: Unsafe pointer manipulation without lifetime guarantees

CRITICAL: Error Handling

  • Silenced errors: Using let _ = result; on #[must_use] types
  • Missing error context: return Err(e) without .context() or .map_err()
  • Panic for recoverable errors: panic!(), todo!(), unreachable!() in production paths
  • Box<dyn Error> in libraries: Use thiserror for typed errors instead

HIGH: Ownership and Lifetimes

  • Unnecessary cloning: .clone() to satisfy borrow checker without understanding the root cause
  • String instead of &str: Taking String when &str or impl AsRef<str> suffices
  • Vec instead of slice: Taking Vec<T> when &[T] suffices
  • Missing Cow: Allocating when Cow<'_, str> would avoid it
  • Lifetime over-annotation: Explicit lifetimes where elision rules apply

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

rust-reviewer is an agent published in the GitHub repository sjarmak/coding-agent-workflows (2 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 40 tokens to every session and 1,192 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 91% identical to rust-reviewer, differing in 38 lines, and is treated as a copy.
