Rust Trait Explorer

When you're working in a Rust codebase and need to answer "what implements this trait?" or "what traits does this type implement?", this skill uses LSP operations to map those relationships. It triggers on `/trait-impl` and related phrases, then runs goToImplementation for traits or grep patterns for types. The output includes tables of implementors with locations, trait hierarchies, and even coverage checks showing which required methods each implementation provides. Honest take: this is basically automating the manual clicking you'd do in your editor, but having it all formatted in one place with hierarchy trees and blanket impl analysis makes understanding polymorphic designs much faster than tab surfing.

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
