macros-code-review

macros-code-review is a skill for Claude Code from existential-birds/beagle. It costs 43 tokens per session (2,146 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A review guide for Rust macros, which generate or transform code during compilation. It covers declarative macros, procedural macros, derive macros, and attribute macros.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when reviewing macro definitions, procedural macro crates, derive implementations, or attributes that generate Rust code.
Why use it?
It helps detect incorrect pattern handling, unwanted name capture, slow compilation, and unsafe or unsuitable generated code.

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

macros-code-review 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 1mo 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.

Macros Code Review

Review Workflow

  1. Check Cargo.toml -- Note Rust edition (2024 reserves gen keyword, affecting macro output), proc-macro crate dependencies (syn, quote, proc-macro2), and feature flags (e.g., syn with minimal features)
  2. Check macro type -- Determine if reviewing declarative (macro_rules!), function-like proc macro, attribute macro, or derive macro
  3. Check if a macro is needed -- If the transformation is type-based, generics are better. Macros are for structural/repetitive code generation that generics cannot express
  4. Scan macro definitions -- Read full macro bodies including all match arms, not just the invocation site
  5. Check each category -- Work through the checklist below, loading references as needed
  6. Gates -- Complete Gates below before reporting; do not substitute informal “I verified.”

Gates (before reporting findings)

Complete in order. Do not emit findings until Gate 4 passes for each issue.

Gate 1 — Crate context (on disk)
PASS when: You opened the reviewed crate’s Cargo.toml (workspace member path if applicable) and recorded Rust edition, whether the crate is proc-macro = true, and relevant proc-macro dependencies or syn / quote feature flags.
Blocks rationalization: Edition 2024 findings (gen, unsafe extern, generated unsafe bodies) and syn “full” vs minimal flags require this — do not flag edition-specific macro output without matching edition from the file.

Gate 2 — Macro definitions read
PASS when: For every macro you critique, you read the full definition (all macro_rules! arms, or the proc-macro entry plus helpers you rely on), not only call sites or partial expansions.
Artifact: At least one path per macro to the defining .rs file(s) you used.

Gate 3 — Per-finding evidence
PASS when: Each planned issue has [FILE:LINE] from the current tree for the macro definition, attribute/derive site, or generated code location you are discussing (not from memory, docs-only, or another branch).

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.
