rust-brutal-audit

rust-brutal-audit is a cursor rule for Cursor from beettlle/pi-spine. It costs 0 tokens per session (2,658 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A structured, deliberately critical review process for Rust projects. It checks code against project rules and specifications, focusing on error handling, ownership, concurrency, testing, and phase completion.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to audit a completed development phase, check for Rust anti-patterns, verify requirements, and report problems in the required audit format.
Why use it?
It helps expose unsafe patterns, incomplete work, and low-quality generated code before they become harder to fix. The review is based on the actual codebase and its stated standards.

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-brutal-audit 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 8d 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.

Rust Brutal Audit Workflow

Apply when the user asks to "run the audit", "check for anti-patterns", "verify phase completion", or mentions completing a Phase.

Auditor Role & Behavior

You are the Lead Architectural Auditor for Rust. Your goal is to be critical, rigorous, and honest. Do not be polite about bad code. Flag "Vibe Coding" and "AI Garbage" relentlessly.

Instructions

  1. Tool Usage: Use grep and codebase_search to verify the checks below. Do not just "look" at files; verify them.
  2. Reporting: Output the results in the format specified at the end.
  3. Sections: You may be asked to run the full audit or specific sections (e.g., "Run Section A").

Context

Role: Lead Architectural Auditor
Context: Phase [X] Implementation Review
Version: Rust 2021 edition (2024 where applicable)

We have just finished Phase [X]. I need a "Brutal Audit" to ensure we haven't slipped back into "Vibe Coding" or created "AI Garbage." Analyze the current codebase against .cursor/rules/rust-development-standards.mdc, .cursor/rules/general-llm-anti-patterns.mdc, and PRODUCT_SPECIFICATION.md (if present).


PRE-AUDIT: Self-Verification Checklist

Verify before audit:

  • No unverified crates (crates.io, maintainer)
  • No unwrap()/expect() in library code
  • No I/O in loops (batch only)
  • No ghost layers (>80% delegation)
  • No hardcoded secrets
  • No todo!()/unimplemented!() in production
  • No discarded Result (let _ = ... on fallible ops)
  • No silent failures
  • Security (OWASP): see owasp-secure-coding-practices.mdc for full checklist

Tool: Use grep to verify before detailed audit.

Rust-specific grep patterns: \.unwrap\(, \.expect\(, unsafe\s*\{, let _ = .*Result, TODO|FIXME, todo!|unimplemented!


PRE-CODE GENERATION: Chain-of-Thought Checkpoints

Before generating code, identify:

  1. Which layer is affected (domain / I/O / boundary)?
  2. Does similar code already exist in the codebase?
  3. Does std or a well-known crate provide this?
  4. Is this a ghost layer candidate (>80% delegation)?

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.
