At a glance

A skill your agent uses when defining a public enum or struct in a library crate that may gain variants or fields later — keep future additions from being breaking changes.

  • Defining a public enum
  • SKILL.md covers Rule, Why and Examples
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Struct in a library crate that may gain variants

What it does

Non Exhaustive Public Types is an agent skill from 0xMiden/protocol. Use when defining a public enum or struct in a library crate that may gain variants or fields later — keep future additions from being breaking changes.

Its SKILL.md is about 550 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. The repository describes itself as: Core components of the Miden protocol. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Defining a public enum
  • Struct in a library crate that may gain variants
  • Fields later — keep future additions from being breaking changes

Example prompts

  • “/non-exhaustive-public-types”

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 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

Non Exhaustive Public Types loads about 545 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 46 tokens; SKILL.md has 128 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~46
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~545

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.

Mark Public Types #[non_exhaustive]

Rule

Public enums and public-fielded structs in library crates whose variants/fields are expected to grow should be marked #[non_exhaustive]:

rust
#[non_exhaustive]
pub enum Authority {
    AuthControlled,
    OwnerControlled,
    RbacControlled { role: RoleSymbol },
}

#[non_exhaustive]
pub struct Header {
    pub version: u8,
    pub flags: u32,
}

This forces external code to use a wildcard match arm (or default field syntax) and lets the library add new variants/fields in a minor release without breaking downstreams.

Don't mark types #[non_exhaustive] when the closed set is part of the contract — e.g. NoteType, a protocol-level enum fixed by the spec and serialized with a fixed-width discriminant, where adding a variant is a breaking protocol change anyway.

Why

Without #[non_exhaustive], a downstream exhaustive match or struct literal compiles today but breaks the moment a minor release adds a variant or field. The attribute makes the wildcard arm mandatory, turning those additions from breaking to non-breaking.

Examples

rust
// Good: a standards-level enum that is expected to gain variants over time
#[non_exhaustive]
pub enum TransferPolicy {
    AllowAll,
    Blocklist,
    Allowlist { allow_list: AllowlistStorage },
    Custom(AccountProcedureRoot),
}

// External callers are forced to include a wildcard, so a future variant
// (e.g. a time-locked or volume-limited policy) stays non-breaking:
match policy {
    TransferPolicy::AllowAll => ...,
    TransferPolicy::Blocklist => ...,
    TransferPolicy::Allowlist { .. } => ...,
    TransferPolicy::Custom(_) => ...,
    _ => ...,   // adding a variant in a minor release: still compiles
}

// Bad: closed public enum, so any new transfer policy is a breaking change
pub enum TransferPolicy {
    AllowAll,
    Blocklist,
    Allowlist { allow_list: AllowlistStorage },
    Custom(AccountProcedureRoot),
}
