What it does

Rust Security Checklist is an agent skill from Jxck/sptth. Use before merging security-relevant Rust changes. Catches common local-service security regressions.

Its SKILL.md is about 320 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 Security, covering Security review. It works with Rust. The repository describes itself as: reverse https proxy (https <- sptth) for local development. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Security review

Example prompts

  • “/rust-security-checklist”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cd865e2. 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
    • sh

    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 Security Checklist loads about 318 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 31 tokens; SKILL.md has 129 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~31
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~318

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.

Checklist

  1. Input and size limits
  • Are request/response/body sizes bounded?
  • Are parsing paths resistant to oversized input?
  1. Network trust boundaries
  • Are remote response sources validated (address/port where required)?
  • Are timeouts and retry limits explicit?
  1. Resource exhaustion
  • Is task/thread concurrency bounded?
  • Are unbounded queues/spawns avoided?
  1. File and key safety
  • Are private keys/certs written with restrictive permissions where supported?
  • Are secret file paths stable and predictable under sudo?
  1. Command execution safety
  • Avoid sh -c with interpolated strings.
  • Prefer direct Command APIs and explicit args.
  1. Logging hygiene
  • No secrets in logs.
  • Errors are specific but not sensitive.

Required Validation

sh
cargo run -p xtask -- fmt-check
cargo test -q
cargo check --workspace

Reporting Template

  • Threat addressed:
  • Change summary:
  • Residual risk:
  • Follow-up (if any):
