lint-rust

A comprehensive quality-check workflow for Rust projects. It combines formatting, Clippy linting, security auditing, dependency licensing and supply-chain checks, and detection of unused dependencies.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before committing, during CI, after adding dependencies, or when reviewing Rust code quality.
Why use it?
It checks more than whether the code compiles, helping find style problems, known vulnerabilities, disallowed licenses, supply-chain risks, and unnecessary packages.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

lint-rust 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 3d 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.

What it actually says

Skill: lint-rust

When to Use

  • User asks for this skill's functionality

Purpose

Run comprehensive linting and static analysis on Rust code.

Trigger Conditions

  • Before committing code
  • During CI/CD pipeline
  • When reviewing code quality
  • After adding new dependencies

Prerequisites

  • cargo clippy (bundled with Rust)
  • cargo audit (cargo install cargo-audit)
  • cargo deny (cargo install cargo-deny)
  • cargo machete (cargo install cargo-machete)

Steps

1. Clippy strict mode

cargo clippy --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings

2. Format check

cargo fmt --all -- --check

3. Security audit

cargo audit

4. Supply chain check

cargo deny check

5. Unused dependencies

cargo machete

Success Criteria

  • All clippy lints pass with -D warnings
  • Format is consistent
  • No known security vulnerabilities
  • All licenses are allowed
  • No unused dependencies
  • build-rust - Building the project
  • test-rust - Running tests
  • release-rust - Release preparation

Rationalizations

Rationalization Reality
"Clippy passes, so the code is clean." Clippy alone doesn't check licenses, security, or unused deps. Run the full suite.
"cargo audit shows no advisories, we're safe." Audit only checks known advisories. Also run cargo-deny for license compliance.
"I'll skip machete — unused deps aren't a big deal." Unused deps increase compile time and attack surface. Remove them.

Red Flags

  • Running only cargo clippy without cargo fmt --check
  • Skipping cargo audit or cargo deny in CI
  • Ignoring -D warnings flag (allows warnings to accumulate)

References

Files

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.

lint-rust is a skill published in the GitHub repository d-oit/rust-2026-template (10 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 63 tokens to every session and 625 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
