At a glance

Explain a specific cargo-coupling issue type or finding, its detection limits, and possible remedies.

  • Interpretation without requiring a full analysis run
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Explain Issue is an agent skill from nwiizo/cargo-coupling. Explain a specific cargo-coupling issue type or finding, its detection limits, and possible remedies. Use for interpretation without requiring a full analysis run.

Its SKILL.md is about 400 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: A coupling analysis tool for Rust projects - measuring the 'right distance' in your code. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Interpretation without requiring a full analysis run

Example prompts

  • “/explain-issue”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8ef1441. 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.

    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

Explain Issue loads about 395 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 44 tokens; SKILL.md has 149 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~44
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~395

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.

argument-hint
[issue type or finding]

Explain a Coupling Issue

Explain what the requested finding means, what change it could make difficult, and whether the available evidence supports acting on it. Use a small Rust example when it clarifies the user's question; do not require a before/after example for every explanation.

For names and descriptions, inspect issue_type.rs. Read only the relevant detector when explaining exact conditions or severity:

Use current thresholds and the target project's configuration. The balance model explains the conceptual tradeoffs; its qualitative table is not a replacement for detection code.

Include relevant exceptions such as entrypoints, stable hubs, and re-export facades. Recommend a remedy only when it addresses the demonstrated problem; traits, facades, and module splits are options, not default fixes. No analysis run is needed for a conceptual question that the available evidence already answers.
