At a glance

A skill your agent uses when naming a conversion or accessor method in Rust — follow the Rust API naming conventions for the method's cost and ownership.

  • Naming a conversion
  • SKILL.md covers Rule, Why and Examples
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Accessor method in Rust — follow the Rust API naming conventions for the methods cost and ownership

What it does

Conversion Method Naming is an agent skill from 0xMiden/protocol. Use when naming a conversion or accessor method in Rust — follow the Rust API naming conventions for the method's cost and ownership.

Its SKILL.md is about 450 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Development. It works with Rust. The repository describes itself as: Core components of the Miden protocol. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Naming a conversion
  • Accessor method in Rust — follow the Rust API naming conventions for the methods cost and ownership

Example prompts

  • “/conversion-method-naming”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3a8215e. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are rust).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Conversion Method Naming loads about 450 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 40 tokens; SKILL.md has 142 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~40
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~450

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Rust Conversion Method Naming

Rule

Pick the prefix that matches the cost and ownership of the conversion:

  • as_<type> — free or near-free, returns a borrow (e.g. as_bytes() -> &[u8]).
  • to_<type> — non-trivial cost, returns an owned value, leaves self intact (e.g. to_string() -> String).
  • into_<type> — consumes self, returns the inner/converted value.
  • from_<type> — associated function on the target type that constructs it.
  • with_<field> — only for builder-style methods that take and return Self with a field set.

Do not name a non-borrowing method as_*. Do not name a non-builder method with_*. Do not use to_* for a free borrow.

Why

The prefixes come from the Rust API guidelines and are baked into the standard library: readers expect as_ to be cheap, to_ to allocate, into_ to consume, and with_ to return Self. Violating that costs every reader a moment of confusion and erodes trust in the API.

Examples

rust
// Good
impl Header {
    pub fn as_bytes(&self) -> &[u8] { ... }              // cheap borrow
    pub fn to_vec(&self) -> Vec<u8> { ... }              // allocates
    pub fn into_payload(self) -> Payload { self.payload } // consumes
}

impl HeaderBuilder {
    pub fn with_version(mut self, v: u8) -> Self { self.version = v; self }
}

// Bad
impl Header {
    pub fn as_vec(&self) -> Vec<u8> { ... }  // allocates, should be to_vec
    pub fn to_bytes(&self) -> &[u8] { ... }  // borrow, should be as_bytes
}

// Bad: with_* on a non-builder method
fn with_seed(rng: &mut Rng, seed: u64) { ... }   // not returning Self
