rust-idioms

rust-idioms is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from KalarisLabs/Skill-Doctor. It costs 44 tokens per session (428 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A set of everyday Rust coding rules for handling errors, ownership, APIs, iterators, and formatting. Rust is a programming language that checks memory use while compiling.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when writing or reviewing ordinary Rust code, especially error handling, borrowed data, file paths, public interfaces, and Clippy fixes.
Why use it?
It helps avoid common Rust mistakes such as unnecessary copying, panics on recoverable errors, and code that fails formatting or lint checks.

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-idioms 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.

What it actually says

Rust idioms

Errors

  • Libraries: thiserror enums. No unwrap / expect on recoverable paths.
  • Binary: anyhow at main only. Map to exit codes in one place.
  • Do not panic in L1 because a skill file is malformed. Malformed input is a finding or a skipped file with coverage reduced.

Ownership

  • Hot path: borrow (&[u8], &str, &Path). Own only when storing in a Finding.
  • Do not clone() to satisfy the borrow checker if a lifetime or Arc would do. Clippy clone_on_copy / needless clones must stay clean.
  • PathBuf walks: collect sorted Vec<PathBuf> once, then iterate. Do not read_dir twice.

APIs

  • Public core API is small: scan_bundle(&[u8] | &Path) -> Result<Report>.
  • Rule IDs and SD class IDs are &'static str or newtypes, not free-form String invented at runtime.
  • Prefer enum Severity { Low, Medium, High, Critical } over strings.

Clippy / fmt

  • cargo fmt --all is not optional.
  • clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings is the style guide. Do not fight clippy with #[allow] unless the allow cites an invariant.
  • unsafe is not an idiom. Load unsafe-sandbox instead.

Concurrency

  • L1 fan-out: rayon. No tokio in core.
  • MCP / optional L4: tokio.
  • Shared state: std::sync / arc_swap / OnceLock. Do not add a new runtime.

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-idioms is a skill published in the GitHub repository KalarisLabs/Skill-Doctor (13 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 44 tokens to every session and 428 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-09-11.
