Does this skill require rust-analyzer to be installed?

Yes, the Rust Code Navigator relies on an active LSP server, typically rust-analyzer, to perform accurate symbol lookups and navigation.

Can I use it to find where a specific trait is used?

Yes, you can use the 'find references' operation to see every location where a trait, struct, or function is utilized throughout your workspace.

Does it support jumping between different files?

Absolutely. The skill uses workspace-wide symbol searching and path-aware definitions to navigate seamlessly across different modules and crates.

How does this help with debugging?

It allows Claude to quickly find the definition of an error-prone type or function and see all its call sites, providing the full context needed to identify bugs.

Developer Tools

Navigates and explores complex Rust codebases using Language Server Protocol (LSP) for precise symbol lookups and cross-references.

About

The Rust Code Navigator skill empowers Claude to traverse large-scale Rust projects with the precision of a professional IDE. By leveraging the Language Server Protocol (LSP), it provides instant access to symbol definitions, type information, and usage patterns, allowing developers to understand architecture, debug logic, and refactor code without losing context. Whether you are jumping to a struct definition or auditing all references to a specific trait, this skill ensures Claude provides accurate, file-aware insights into your Rust environment.

Key Features

Workspace-wide symbol searching to find structs and enums regardless of file location.
Context-aware code reading to display surrounding logic for found symbols.
Comprehensive reference tracking to locate every usage of a variable, function, or type.
Instant hover information for viewing type signatures and documentation comments.
Deep symbol navigation using LSP 'Go to Definition' across modules.

Use Cases

Accelerating onboarding on new Rust repositories by exploring trait implementations and types.
Performing impact analysis before refactoring by finding all call sites of a specific function.
Tracing complex data structures through multiple files to understand project architecture.
