Cargo.toml dependency management patterns for HASH workspace.

  • Works in 4 steps: Check workspace root - Is dependency… → Add to workspace if needed - With caret… → Determine section - Public… → …
  • Adding dependencies
  • SKILL.md covers Purpose, When This Skill Activates, Core Principles and Quick Reference, plus 3 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Managing Cargo Dependencies is an agent skill from Microck/ordinary-claude-skills. Cargo.toml dependency management patterns for HASH workspace. Use when adding dependencies, managing workspace dependencies, organizing Cargo.toml sections, setting version pinning, configuring default features, or working with public dependencies.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `metadata.json`).

It sits in Development, covering Dependency management. It works with Rust. The repository describes itself as: An unappealing collection of Claude Skills and resources.

When your agent uses it

  • Adding dependencies
  • Managing workspace dependencies
  • Organizing Cargo.toml sections
  • Setting version pinning

Example prompts

  • “/managing-cargo-dependencies”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Check workspace root - Is dependency already there?
  2. Add to workspace if needed - With caret version 1.2.3
  3. Determine section - Public workspace/third-party or private?
  4. Add to package - Use workspace = true (+ public = true if needed)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1056d29. 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 toml).

    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

Managing Cargo Dependencies loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 69 tokens; SKILL.md has 347 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~69
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

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 347 words (~1,164 tokens).

“This skill provides comprehensive guidance on adding and managing dependencies in Cargo.toml files within the HASH repository's workspace structure.”
