What it does

Exploring Rust Crates is an agent skill from hashintel/hash. Generate Rust documentation to understand crate APIs, structure, and usage. Use when exploring Rust code, understanding crate organization, finding functions/types/traits, or needing context about a Rust package in the HASH workspace.

Its SKILL.md is about 520 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: 🚀 The open-source, multi-tenant platform for self-building knowledge graphs and simulation. The licence is AGPL-3.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Exploring Rust code
  • Understanding crate organization
  • Finding functions/types/traits
  • Needing context about a Rust package in the HASH workspace

Example prompts

  • “/exploring-rust-crates”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Crate organization - Module hierarchy and component relationships
  2. Public API surface - All public functions, types, traits, and constants
  3. Usage examples - Code examples from doctest blocks
  4. Error documentation - Documented error conditions and handling
  5. Type relationships - Trait implementations, type aliases, associated types

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e189ab2. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • cargo

    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

Exploring Rust Crates loads about 519 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 64 tokens; SKILL.md has 141 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~64
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~519

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.

Exploring Rust Crates

Generate and use Rust documentation to understand crate APIs, structure, and code organization in the HASH workspace.

Generating Documentation

For a Specific Package
bash
cargo doc --no-deps --all-features --package <package-name>
For the Entire Workspace
bash
cargo doc --no-deps --all-features --workspace
Key Flags
  • --no-deps: Document local code only (faster, less noise)
  • --all-features: Include all feature-gated APIs
  • --package <name>: Target a specific crate
  • --workspace: Document all crates in the workspace
  • --document-private-items: Include internal implementation details

What Generated Docs Provide

  1. Crate organization - Module hierarchy and component relationships
  2. Public API surface - All public functions, types, traits, and constants
  3. Usage examples - Code examples from doctest blocks
  4. Error documentation - Documented error conditions and handling
  5. Type relationships - Trait implementations, type aliases, associated types

Viewing Documentation

Docs are generated at:

txt
target/doc/<crate_name>/index.html

Tips

  • Generate docs before diving into unfamiliar Rust code
  • Cross-reference # Errors sections for error handling patterns
  • Look for # Examples sections for idiomatic usage patterns
