What it does

Alef automates generating language bindings for Rust libraries from a single configuration file (alef.toml). It extracts APIs, emits typed stubs and scaffolding, orchestrates multi-language builds, and produces e2e test fixtures. Alef supports 16 backends (Python, TypeScript/Node, WASM, Ruby, PHP, Go, Java, C#, Kotlin, Elixir, R, Swift, Dart, Zig, C) and includes commands for verify, build, test, and publishing.

When to use it

Initialising or migrating an existing Rust crate to produce polyglot bindings (alef init, alef migrate).
Regenerating bindings after changing Rust APIs (alef generate, alef verify).
Setting up CI checks to fail on stale generated outputs (alef verify --exit-code).
Building and publishing language-specific packages produced by the generator.

What's included

Scripts: none bundled in the skill (installation instructions provided).
References: configuration docs, CLI reference, e2e testing, language backend guides, adapter patterns, and troubleshooting notes under references/.
Instructions: quick-start commands (init, generate, build, test, verify, publish), configuration examples for alef.toml and migration guidance.

Compatible agents

Tools-capable agents that can run cargo, shell commands, and edit repo files (CI/automation bots, developer assistants with shell access).

Audit Summary

Alef is a polyglot binding generator for Rust libraries, producing typed bindings across 16 target languages. The SKILL.md is comprehensive and well-structured with clear triggers, detailed CLI usage examples, configuration reference, and migration guidance. No bundled scripts — the skill is CLI-oriented and documentation-only. Static analysis found no security concerns.

Watch Out

Requires Rust toolchain and cargo to use the alef CLI
References (cli-reference, backends, etc.) are linked but not bundled in the skill directory

Notes

Clean, well-documented skill for a developer tool. No scripts to audit. High quality documentation with good progressive disclosure into references/ directory.
