At a glance

A skill your agent uses when writing or editing MASM or Rust code that contains meaningful numeric literals — promote them to named constants with a single source of truth.

  • Rust code that contains meaningful numeric literals — promote them to named constants with a single source of truth
  • SKILL.md covers Rule, Why and Examples
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Masm Named Literals is an agent skill from 0xMiden/protocol. Use when writing or editing MASM or Rust code that contains meaningful numeric literals — promote them to named constants with a single source of truth.

Its SKILL.md is about 330 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

  • Rust code that contains meaningful numeric literals — promote them to named constants with a single source of truth

Example prompts

  • “/masm-named-literals”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 62b59ec. 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 masm and 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

Masm Named Literals loads about 327 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 43 tokens; SKILL.md has 116 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~43
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~327

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.

Replace Magic Numbers with Named Constants

Rule

Numeric literals embedded inline in MASM and Rust code must be promoted to named constants when they represent:

  • Memory offsets, slot indices, or layout sizes
  • Protocol/tag/type/version discriminants
  • Domain values reused in more than one place

Define each constant exactly once. In MASM, declare it in the file's CONSTANTS section (see masm-constants skill). In Rust, define it as an associated constant on the type it describes (Type::CAPACITY, not a free-floating const CAPACITY).

Why

A bare 47 or 0x1234 is invisible to grep, indistinguishable from coincidentally-equal numbers, and drifts when one occurrence is updated and another missed. A named constant documents intent and gives refactors a single source of truth.

Examples

masm
# Good
const ACCOUNT_DATA_PTR = 4
mem_load.ACCOUNT_DATA_PTR

# Bad
mem_load.4   # what is at offset 4?
rust
// Good
impl AccountStorage {
    pub const MAX_NUM_STORAGE_SLOTS: usize = 255;
}

// Bad
if slots.len() > 255 { ... }   // 255 also appears unrelated elsewhere
