unsafe-checker

unsafe-checker is a skill for Claude Code from moeru-ai/auv. It costs 120 tokens per session (674 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A review guide for unsafe Rust code and foreign-function interfaces, which let Rust call code written in languages such as C. It covers raw pointers, memory layout, `extern` functions, safety comments, and undefined behavior.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review `unsafe` blocks, C or C++ bindings, raw-pointer code, `transmute`, unions, mutable statics, `Send` or `Sync` implementations, and safe wrappers around low-level code.
Why use it?
Unsafe code can bypass Rust’s usual memory guarantees and cause crashes or invalid behavior if its assumptions are wrong. The guide helps check pointer validity, lifetimes, aliasing, thread safety, and calling conventions.

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

unsafe-checker 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 10d 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.

Unsafe Rust Checker

When Unsafe is Valid

Use Case Example
FFI Calling C functions
Low-level abstractions Implementing Vec, Arc
Performance Measured bottleneck with safe alternative too slow

NOT valid: Escaping borrow checker without understanding why.

Required Documentation

// SAFETY: <why this is safe>
unsafe { ... }

/// # Safety
/// <caller requirements>
pub unsafe fn dangerous() { ... }

Quick Reference

Operation Safety Requirements
*ptr deref Valid, aligned, initialized
&*ptr + No aliasing violations
transmute Same size, valid bit pattern
extern "C" Correct signature, ABI
static mut Synchronization guaranteed
impl Send/Sync Actually thread-safe

Common Errors

Error Fix
Null pointer deref Check for null before deref
Use after free Ensure lifetime validity
Data race Add proper synchronization
Alignment violation Use #[repr(C)], check alignment
Invalid bit pattern Use MaybeUninit
Missing SAFETY comment Add // SAFETY:

Deprecated → Better

Deprecated Use Instead
mem::uninitialized() MaybeUninit<T>
mem::zeroed() for refs MaybeUninit<T>
Raw pointer arithmetic NonNull<T>, ptr::add
CString::new().unwrap().as_ptr() Store CString first
static mut AtomicT or Mutex
Manual extern bindgen

FFI Crates

Direction Crate
C → Rust bindgen
Rust → C cbindgen
Python PyO3
Node.js napi-rs

Claude knows unsafe Rust. Focus on SAFETY comments and soundness.

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.
