format_rust

format_rust is a skill for Claude Code from theafh/ai-modules. It costs 87 tokens per session (1,336 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A Rust coding guide for writing clear, clippy-compliant code. Clippy is Rust’s tool for detecting common mistakes and style problems.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when writing or editing Rust files, especially when deciding how to handle recoverable errors versus broken program assumptions.
Why use it?
It helps keep warnings low and makes choices about errors, panics, imports, and data flow more consistent.

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

format_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 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.

Preferred style

Use clear, procedural flow with small, single‑purpose functions and explicit data flow; keep names concrete so intent is obvious at a glance.

Clippy‑driven improvements

Write code that naturally satisfies clippy by choosing the simplest correct form, and treat clippy warnings as signals to improve clarity, safety, and maintainability.

Imports

Use only necessary imports and prefer direct module paths; remove unused imports promptly to keep warnings clean.

Errors versus broken invariants

Treat a failure the world causes, such as a missing file, malformed input, a value that does not parse, or a timeout, as a Result the caller handles with ?. Treat a failure that means one of the program's own guarantees is false as a panic, because continuing would compute on state already known to be void. Reach for unwrap only in that second category: it is an assertion, not a fallback. At each fallible call, decide whether failure there means the world is wrong or the code is wrong, and route accordingly. Using unwrap because writing the error type is tedious claims a broken invariant while actually sitting in an unhandled error.

Fallible builders

Route fallible builder APIs through Result and the error idiom the consumer of that API selects under Error idiom follows the consumer, returning that error type from the builder rather than panicking.

Panic discipline across a trust boundary

On any path reachable from input the process does not control, return a typed error the caller handles. The constructs that panic on failure are unwrap, expect, direct indexing and slicing, and arithmetic that can overflow; treat each as a defect on that path, because an input that reaches one is a remotely triggerable denial of service.

An expect message names the invariant

Where a panic is the correct outcome, write an expect whose message names the invariant the site rests on rather than the symptom, and leave bare unwrap behind. That message makes the claim reviewable: a reader can check the stated invariant, while a bare unwrap cannot distinguish a proven claim from a skipped error path.

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.

format_rust is a skill published in the GitHub repository theafh/ai-modules (38 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 87 tokens to every session and 1,336 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-08-30.
