rust-symbol-analyzer is a Claude Code skill that maps structs, traits, functions, and modules across a Rust project using LSP symbols instead of manual grep searches.

About

rust-symbol-analyzer is a Claude Code skill from zhanghandong/rust-skills that analyzes Rust project structure through LSP symbol queries. Invoked as `/rust-symbol-analyzer [file.rs] [--type struct|trait|fn|mod]`, it can scan an entire workspace, a single file such as `src/lib.rs`, or filter by symbol type including struct, trait, fn, and mod. Allowed tools are LSP, Read, and Glob. Triggers include `/symbols`, project structure, list structs, list traits, list functions, and related Chinese phrases for symbol analysis. Developers reach for rust-symbol-analyzer when onboarding to an unfamiliar crate graph or auditing public API surface before refactors. The skill returns structured symbol inventories, not edited source files or automated refactors.

  • Triggers on /symbols, project structure, list structs, list traits, list functions
  • Supports --type struct|trait|fn|mod filters
  • Combines Glob(**/*.rs) with LSP documentSymbol and workspaceSymbol
  • Returns nested hierarchy of modules, structs, functions and traits
  • Single-command project-wide Rust symbol analysis

How do you list all Rust traits in a project?

Instantly map structs, traits, functions and modules across a Rust codebase using LSP without manual grepping.

Who is it for?

Rust developers exploring unfamiliar codebases who want LSP-backed struct, trait, function, and module listings without manual ripgrep.

Skip if: Non-Rust projects, or teams needing call-graph analysis, rename refactors, or automated code modifications beyond symbol listing.

When should I use this skill?

A user asks to list structs, traits, functions, modules, or map Rust project structure with `/symbols` or similar triggers.

What you get

LSP-derived symbol inventory of structs, traits, functions, or modules for the Rust workspace or file.

  • Symbol inventory report
  • Filtered struct/trait/fn/mod listings

By the numbers

  • Supports 4 Rust symbol type filters: struct, trait, fn, and mod

Rust Symbol Analyzer

Analyze project structure by examining symbols across your Rust codebase.

Usage

/rust-symbol-analyzer [file.rs] [--type struct|trait|fn|mod]

Examples:

  • /rust-symbol-analyzer - Analyze entire project
  • /rust-symbol-analyzer src/lib.rs - Analyze single file
  • /rust-symbol-analyzer --type trait - List all traits in project

LSP Operations

1. Document Symbols (Single File)

Get all symbols in a file with their hierarchy.

LSP(
  operation: "documentSymbol",
  filePath: "src/lib.rs",
  line: 1,
  character: 1
)

Returns: Nested structure of modules, structs, functions, etc.

2. Workspace Symbols (Entire Project)

Search for symbols across the workspace.

LSP(
  operation: "workspaceSymbol",
  filePath: "src/lib.rs",
  line: 1,
  character: 1
)

Note: Query is implicit in the operation context.

Workflow

User: "What's the structure of this project?"
    │
    ▼
[1] Find all Rust files
    Glob("**/*.rs")
    │
    ▼
[2] Get symbols from each key file
    LSP(documentSymbol) for lib.rs, main.rs
    │
    ▼
[3] Categorize by type
    │
    ▼
[4] Generate structure visualization

FAQ

What symbol types can rust-symbol-analyzer list?

rust-symbol-analyzer filters LSP symbols by struct, trait, fn, and mod via `--type`, or returns combined project structure when run without a type filter on the whole workspace or a single `.rs` file.

Which tools does rust-symbol-analyzer use?

rust-symbol-analyzer is limited to LSP, Read, and Glob per its manifest, querying language-server symbols rather than performing text-only ripgrep scans across the Rust tree.

Is Rust Symbol Analyzer safe to install?

skills.sh reports 2 of 3 security scanners passed. Review the Security Audits panel on this page before installing in production.
