Rust Trait Explorer

If you've ever stared at a Rust trait wondering which types actually implement it, or looked at a struct trying to remember what traits it derives, this is for you. It uses LSP operations to map trait implementations in both directions: find all implementors of a trait, or find all traits a type implements. The output is thorough, showing standard library traits, project traits, derived versus manual implementations, and even trait hierarchies with ASCII diagrams. It's genuinely useful for understanding polymorphic code in larger Rust codebases where the trait system gets complex. Works with multilingual triggers too, which is a nice touch for international teams.

Files

Rust Trait Explorer

Discover trait implementations and understand polymorphic designs.

Usage

/rust-trait-explorer <TraitName|StructName>

Examples:

/rust-trait-explorer Handler - Find all implementors of Handler trait
/rust-trait-explorer MyStruct - Find all traits implemented by MyStruct

LSP Operations

Go to Implementation

Find all implementations of a trait.

LSP(
  operation: "goToImplementation",
  filePath: "src/traits.rs",
  line: 10,
  character: 11
)

Use when:

Trait name is known
Want to find all implementors
Understanding polymorphic code

Workflow

Find Trait Implementors

User: "Who implements the Handler trait?"
    │
    ▼
[1] Find trait definition
    LSP(goToDefinition) or workspaceSymbol
    │
    ▼
[2] Get implementations
    LSP(goToImplementation)
    │
    ▼
[3] For each impl, get details
    LSP(documentSymbol) for methods
    │
    ▼
[4] Generate implementation map
