What it does
Rust Code Style is an agent skill from JetBrains/intellij-community, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Write or review Rust in the build tools: errors, CLI, crates, tests, lint, Bazel.
Its SKILL.md is about 2.4k 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, covering Linting and formatting. It works with Rust. The repository describes itself as: IntelliJ IDEA & IntelliJ Platform.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Linting and formatting
Example prompts
- “/rust-code-style”
Workflow steps
10 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Two error models
- Two command line grammars
- Format
- Lints
- Errors in libraries
- Types
- Crates
- Tests
- Docs
- Versions
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 562e3a2. 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:
cargobun
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
Rust Code Style loads about 2.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 24 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,176 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.
SKILL.md
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,176 words (~2,413 tokens).
“These rules apply to the Rust tool workspaces: the dev-dist tools, BT and the Air UI-lane tooling. The spec of a workspace is community/build/rust-tools/README.md. It names the files, the Bazel targets and the checks that every workspace has. This skill…”

When should I use Rust Code Style?
Rust Code Style fits situations like: tasks that involve Linting and formatting.
How do I install Rust Code Style in Claude Code?
Run `npx skills add JetBrains/intellij-community --skill rust-code-style -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (.agents/skills/rust-code-style in JetBrains/intellij-community) into .claude/skills/rust-code-style in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
How do I install Rust Code Style in Codex?
Run `npx skills add JetBrains/intellij-community --skill rust-code-style -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (.agents/skills/rust-code-style in JetBrains/intellij-community) into .agents/skills/rust-code-style in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Can I use Rust Code Style in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add JetBrains/intellij-community --skill rust-code-style -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/rust-code-style, .gemini/skills/rust-code-style, .github/skills/rust-code-style and .opencode/skills/rust-code-style in your project.
What does Rust Code Style need to run?
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Rust Code Style needs the command-line tools its instructions call (cargo and bun).
Does Rust Code Style access the network?
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Is Rust Code Style safe to install?
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
What licence does Rust Code Style use?
Rust Code Style has a licence file (the repository's licence) that doesn't match a standard licence. Read it on GitHub before reusing the skill.
How many tokens does Rust Code Style use?
About 2.4k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 9.7k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
What are the alternatives to Rust Code Style?
Skills that share tags, products or a category with Rust Code Style: Rust Best Practices (farm-fe/farm, 5.6k stars), Doc Comments (biomejs/biome, 26k stars), Rust Hygiene Audit (tsz-org/tsz, 577 stars) and Release (xin2017338/lynx-proxy, 502 stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
