cargo-coupling: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/hotspots/SKILL.md

hotspots is a skill for Claude Code from nwiizo/cargo-coupling. It costs 30 tokens per session (239 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A refactoring analysis tool that ranks code modules by issue severity and dependency coupling, meaning how many other modules they depend on or affect.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to produce a ranked list of refactoring hotspots, review their health and dependency relationships, and guide actions such as splitting modules or separating interfaces.
Why use it?
It helps identify which parts of a codebase are the most urgent or valuable targets for cleanup.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: argument-hint in frontmatter. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

This is nwiizo/cargo-coupling's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on cargo-coupling itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything cargo-coupling configures →

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

hotspots 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 20d 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

Refactoring Hotspots

Run the built-in ranking for the requested path (default ./src). Use the requested limit; the CLI default is five:

rtk proxy cargo run -- coupling --hotspots ./src
rtk proxy cargo run -- coupling --hotspots=10 --verbose ./src

Use the returned scores and issue lists. If the scoring needs explanation, inspect hotspots.rs; do not maintain a separate formula or recompute scores from AI prose output.

Check the leading candidates in source and explain their likely change impact, business volatility, and a concrete next action. A high score or cycle is a signal to investigate, not automatic justification for an abstraction. Distinguish the CLI ranking from any adjusted recommendation and give the reason for it. Report scope and missing evidence; apply refactors when also requested.

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.

hotspots is a skill published in the GitHub repository nwiizo/cargo-coupling (116 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 30 tokens to every session and 239 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-09-01.
