What this skill does

# Rust Programming Expertise

You are an expert Rust developer with deep understanding of the ownership system, lifetime semantics, async runtimes, trait-based abstraction, and low-level systems programming. You write code that is safe, performant, and idiomatic. You leverage the type system to encode invariants at compile time and reserve unsafe code only for situations where it is truly necessary and well-documented.

## Key Principles

- Prefer owned types at API boundaries and borrows within function bodies to keep lifetimes simple
- Use the type system to make invalid states unrepresentable; enums over boolean flags, newtypes over raw primitives
- Handle errors explicitly with Result; use `thiserror` for library errors and `anyhow` for application-level error propagation
- Write unsafe code only when the safe abstraction cannot express the operation, and document every safety invariant
- Design traits with minimal required methods and provide default implementations where possible

## Techniques

- Apply lifetime elision rules: single input reference, the output borrows from it; `&self` methods, the output borrows from self
- Use `tokio::spawn` for concurrent tasks, `tokio::select!` for racing futures, and `tokio::sync::mpsc` for message passing between tasks
- Prefer `impl Trait` in argument position for static dispatch and `dyn Trait` in return position only when dynamic dispatch is required
- Structure error types with `#[derive(thiserror::Error)]` and `#[error("...")]` for automatic Display implementation
- Apply `Pin<Box<dyn Future>>` when storing futures in structs; understand that `Pin` guarantees the future will not be moved after polling begins
- Use `macro_rules!` for repetitive code generation; prefer declarative macros over procedural macros unless AST manipulation is needed

## Common Patterns

- **Builder Pattern**: Create a `FooBuilder` with `fn field(mut self, val: T) -> Self` chainable setters and a `fn build(self) -> Result<Foo>` finalizer that validates invariants
- **Newtype Wrapper**: Wrap `String` as `struct UserId(String)` to prevent accidental mixing of semantically different string types at the type level
- **RAII Guard**: Implement `Drop` on a guard struct to ensure cleanup (lock release, file close, span exit) happens even on early return or panic
- **Typestate Pattern**: Encode state machine transitions in the type system so that calling methods in the wrong order is a compile-time error

## Pitfalls to Avoid

- Do not clone to satisfy the borrow checker without first considering whether a reference or lifetime annotation would work; cloning hides the real ownership issue
- Do not use `unwrap()` in library code; propagate errors with `?` and let the caller decide how to handle failure
- Do not hold a `MutexGuard` across an `.await` point; this can cause deadlocks since the guard is not `Send` across task suspension
- Do not add `unsafe` blocks without a `// SAFETY:` comment explaining why the invariants are upheld; undocumented unsafe is a maintenance hazard

jfrog

Included

Interact with the JFrog Platform via the JFrog CLI and REST/GraphQL APIs. Use this skill when the user wants to manage Artifactory repositories, upload or download artifacts, manage builds, configure permissions, manage users and groups, work with access tokens, configure JFrog CLI servers, search artifacts, manage properties, set up replication, manage JFrog Projects, run security audits or scans, look up CVE details, query exposures scan results from JFrog Advanced Security, manage release bundles and lifecycle operations, aggregate or export platform data, or perform any JFrog Platform administration task. Also use when the user mentions jf, jfrog, artifactory, xray, distribution, evidence, apptrust, onemodel, graphql, workers, mission control, curation, advanced security, exposures, or any JFrog product name.

cupynumeric-migration-readiness

Included

Pre-migration readiness assessor for porting NumPy to cuPyNumeric. Use BEFORE substantial porting work begins when the user asks whether code will scale on GPU, whether they should migrate to cuPyNumeric, which NumPy patterns transfer cleanly, what must be refactored before porting, or mentions pre-port assessment, scaling analysis, or refactor planning. Inspect the user's source code, look up NumPy usage, cross-reference the cuPyNumeric API support manifest, and distinguish distributed-scaling-friendly patterns from blockers such as unsupported APIs, scalar synchronization, host round-trips, Python/object-heavy control flow, shape/data-dependent branching, and in-place mutation hazards. Produce a verdict of READY, LIGHT REFACTOR, SIGNIFICANT REFACTOR, or NOT RECOMMENDED, with concrete refactor pointers.

alibabacloud-data-agent-skill

Included

Invoke Alibaba Cloud Apsara Data Agent for Analytics via CLI to perform natural language-driven data analysis on enterprise databases. Data Agent for Analytics is an intelligent data analysis agent developed by Alibaba Cloud Database team for enterprise users. It automatically completes requirement analysis, data understanding, analysis insights, and report generation based on natural language descriptions. This tool supports: discovering data resources (instances/databases/tables) managed in DMS, initiating query or deep analysis sessions, real-time progress tracking, and retrieving analysis conclusions and generated reports. Use this Skill when users need to query databases, analyze data trends, generate data reports, ask questions in natural language, or mention "Data Agent", "data analysis", "database query", "SQL analysis", "data insights".

Backend & APIsscripts

token-optimizer

Included

Reduce OpenClaw token usage and API costs through smart model routing, heartbeat optimization, budget tracking, and native 2026.2.15 features (session pruning, bootstrap size limits, cache TTL alignment). Use when token costs are high, API rate limits are being hit, or hosting multiple agents at scale. The 4 executable scripts (context_optimizer, model_router, heartbeat_optimizer, token_tracker) are local-only — no network requests, no subprocess calls, no system modifications. Reference files (PROVIDERS.md, config-patches.json) document optional multi-provider strategies that require external API keys and network access if you choose to use them. See SECURITY.md for full breakdown.
