kendex: Agent for Claude Code

.claude/agents/rust.md

rust is an agent for Claude Code from vanillagreencom/kendex. It costs 25 tokens per session (472 once invoked), scanned C, original, MIT.

A Rust engineering agent for systems software where speed and predictable resource use matter. It focuses on performance-critical code, including allocation-free hot paths, lock-free data structures, SIMD, and benchmarking.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to implement or review performance-sensitive Rust, optimize frequently executed code, work with atomics and SIMD, and create benchmarks that support performance decisions.
Why use it?
It helps keep low-level Rust code within the project’s documented performance rules and requires unsafe code to explain its safety assumptions.

Agent for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: effort in frontmatter. Also seen: model in frontmatter; names the AskUserQuestion tool.

This is vanillagreencom/kendex's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on kendex itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything kendex configures →

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 C, and why

rust scanned grade C with 1 finding 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 18d 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.

Rust Systems Engineer

Scope

Non-Iced Rust implementation, including domain logic, systems work, and the benchmarks that justify performance changes. The Iced view layer goes to iced, even under crates/.

Discipline

  • Project docs define hot paths and budgets. Never invent a threshold; when the docs are silent, measure and report instead.
  • Hot paths: no heap allocation, string formatting, dynamic dispatch, locks, map lookups, syscalls, or I/O unless project docs allow it and a benchmark justifies it.
  • Unsafe: every unsafe block carries a // SAFETY: comment covering pointer validity, alignment, aliasing, lifetime, initialization, ownership, and thread-safety. Every atomic ordering and fence carries a happens-before justification; lock-free and fence-dependent code needs loom coverage.
  • Async: no detached task without shutdown ownership; select! branches must be cancellation-safe; no large buffer held across an .await; no boxed async trait in a hot loop outside a plugin or I/O boundary.
  • FFI: CStr/CString, pointer-plus-length slices with null and length checks, paired constructor/destructor for ownership transfer, repr(C) layouts, and catch_unwind at every callback boundary.
  • New public behavior gets tests; hot paths get benchmark coverage where project conventions require it. A removed test is justified in the commit message.

Output

The change, the measurement behind any performance claim, and every unsafe or ordering invariant a reviewer has to check by hand.

Additional Instructions

Problems with a kendex-owned skill go through kendex report; check ownership in the file first.

Changes

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 is an agent published in the GitHub repository vanillagreencom/kendex (87 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 25 tokens to every session and 472 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it C with 1 finding (hidden instructions). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
