- Gen Agent Trust Hubfail
The skill visualizes Rust dependency trees but poses a high risk of Remote Code Execution (RCE) if used on malicious local projects, as the cargo tool may execute arbitrary code during processing.

What does this agent skill do?
Rust Dependencies Visualizer
Generate ASCII art visualizations of your Rust project's dependency tree.
Usage
/rust-deps-visualizer [--depth N] [--features]
Options:
--depth N: Limit tree depth (default: 3)--features: Show feature flags
Output Format
Simple Tree (Default)
my-project v0.1.0
├── tokio v1.49.0
│ ├── pin-project-lite v0.2.x
│ └── bytes v1.x
├── serde v1.0.x
│ └── serde_derive v1.0.x
└── anyhow v1.x
Feature-Aware Tree

│ ├── pin-project-lite v0.2.x
│ └── bytes v1.x
├── serde v1.0.x [derive]
│ └── serde_derive v1.0.x (proc-macro)
└── anyhow v1.x [std]
Implementation
Step 1: Parse Cargo.toml for direct dependencies
cargo metadata --format-version=1 --no-deps 2>/dev/null
Step 2: Get full dependency tree
cargo tree --depth=${DEPTH:-3} ${FEATURES:+--features} 2>/dev/null
Step 3: Format as ASCII art tree
Use these box-drawing characters:
├──for middle items└──for last items│for continuation lines
