rust-review SKILL.md skillA

rust-review from trailofbits/skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add trailofbits/skills/rust-review@git:20260819.9e06dc6

Pins git:20260819.9e06dc6 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Performs comprehensive Rust security review for safe/unsafe boundary issues, memory safety in unsafe blocks, concurrency hazards, panic-induced DoS, FFI safety, and async runtime mistakes. Use when auditing Rust crates, services, or libraries — particularly those with `unsafe`, FFI, or concurrent code.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Rust Security Review

Runs in the main conversation (invoke via `/rust-review:rust-review`). Orchestrator owns the `Task*` ledger as bookkeeping for retries; workers and judges have no Task tools. Workers and judges are named plugin subagents (`rust-review:rust-review-worker`, `rust-review:rust-review-dedup-judge`, `rust-review:rust-review-fp-judge`); tool sets are declared in `plugins/rust-review/agents/*.md`. Findings are exchanged via markdown-with-YAML files in a shared output directory.

## When to Use

Rust application/library security review: safe/unsafe boundary auditing, memory safety in `unsafe` blocks, concurrency hazards, panic-induced DoS on servers, FFI safety, async-runtime mistakes.

## When NOT to Use

- Pure-C / pure-C++ codebases — use `c-review` instead.
- Smart contracts (Solana programs / NEAR contracts / Ink!) — use `solana-vulnerability-scanner` or the contract-specific skill.
- Kernel-mode Rust drivers without userspace allocator — coverage is incomplete; flag as advisory only.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add trailofbits/skills/rust-review@sha256:52ee8b08876b0ad9

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260819.9e06dc6, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
